India has been in the lead when it comes to offshoring companies and outsourcing services ever since the 90′s. Presently, however, offshoring and outsourcing business are growing all over the world and India is no longer relaxing at the top. Other countries have also become feasible destinations for offshoring services, and one in particular has finally passed over India as the leading offshoring destination.
Just recently, it has been officially established by reports and statistics that the Philippines has finally become the global leader in outsourcing and offshoring services. It certainly took many years for the country to get into this position. It wasn’t easy as India had become stable ground for the industry. But upon realizing the the Philippines was a more favorable destination than India, many businesses looking to outsource begin choosing the Philippines. There mainly three reasons why this happened.
Cost: One of the main reasons why many Western companies outsource is to cut their expenses and increase their savings. Offshoring in third-world countries like India and the Philippines offered just that. Both countries have large labor pools and talented and educated employees. But the Philippines has a lower labor cost, and this made offshoring to the Philippines more attractive than offshoring to India.
