The history of Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) in the Philippines dates back to 1992 when a man named Frank Holz set up the first BPO company in the country. Since then, outsourcing firms have been sprouting here and there. Up to this day, the industry is continuously growing not only with the number of firms being established but also with the kind of services it provides. It has evolved from the procurement of simple tasks to more complex ones. There are outsourcing companies now that offer services in trades that require specific technical skills such as legal and engineering — this was not the case when BPO was first introduced in the country.
In 2010, the Philippines was declared the BPO capital of the world, with it taking 16 to 18 percent of the total outsourced services globally. In fact, in 2018, the industry was among the top contributors to the country’s rising GDP.
By definition, outsourcing or remote staffing is the contracting of tasks and obligations to a third-party vendor. When enterprises outsource their non-core functions from service providers, they are left with nothing else but ensuring that their businesses are performing smoothly. And that is not to say that the duties delegated to outsourcing companies are not important — they are just as valuable, only that some of them require skills that other companies cannot get on board with yet or anymore. It is either because their operations are escalating at a rate that would no longer allow them to carry out their auxiliary processes, or they are yet to expand and need support in running their company.
Aside from the aforementioned, here are a few other benefits of outsourcing:
