Outsourcing Myths
Perception: Outsourcing lacks
control due to distance and different time zones.
Reality: Outsourcing
is conducted on a real-time 24/7 basis with IT infrastructure rendering
distance and time almost irrelevant. Eximius BPO methodologies give
clients an ability to exercise control, monitor progress and provide
feedback.
Perception: Offshore outsourcing
is unreliable
Reality: Worldwide
Business Process Outsourcing is approximately a US$500 billion industry
with a growth rate of 11%. (Source: IDC) Outsourcing is an established
practice and almost a necessity for many businesses to compete.
Perception: Data Security is
at risk
Reality: With proper
precautions and procedures, data security can be addressed. Eximius
BPO understands information confidentiality and security issues and
formulates a personnel and infrastructure solution based on the clients
requirements.
Perception: Cultures
are different.
Reality: The Philippines
is the 3rd largest English-speaking country. Surprisingly cosmopolitan
with 94% literacy and 70% English fluency, the population of 80 million
has a strong affinity and long standing ties to Western culture. The
international background of our people is a good
illustration of this.
Perception: Physical Security
is an issue with travel advisories to the Philippines.
Reality: Security
is a global issue not isolated to any single country. Companies such
as Intel, Texas Instruments, Procter & Gamble, Citibank, Caltex,
James Martin and Bechtel have successfully established shared resource
centers in the Philippines. The Philippines offers excellent quality
of life – with year-round tropical climate, beaches and golf
courses to go with the modern conveniences of good schools, shopping
malls, hotels and restaurants.
