Offshore Tech Support Outsourcing Firms In The Philippines

Several factors have contributed greatly to the growth of BPO firms. First is the fact that we are living in a technology-driven world, so technical support is a necessity – and a growing one with today’s rapid technology developments.

Second, the cost of technical support delivery in first world countries such as the United States and the UK is fairly high. Present economic factors are further increasing the cost of resources necessary to operate a technical support facility. Even the largest companies struggle with keeping their costs down.

Another reason that drives the demand for offshore tech support outsourcing firms in the Philippines is the tough competition in the market creating the need for technology providers to refocus on their core business functions, such as product development or marketing.

In order to achieve this focus, corporations find the need to outsource their non-core processes such as tech support to capable service providers.

The Turn to Global BPO Firms

Looking at all the outsourcing reasons above, it comes as no surprise why many global technology providers decide to outsource to BPO vendors. By doing so, they can effectively reduce their operational expenses by up to sixty percent without sacrificing the quality of the resources used.

Offshoring to a fully equipped outsourcing company eliminates the need for a company to make capital investments. They immediately gain access to the state-of-the-art facilities and technologies of call center solutions providers.

The PH Advantage

Along with the excellent command of the Filipinos in the English language, Filipinos have a neutral accent, which is one of the main reasons why many American enterprises prefer offshore tech support firms in the Philippines to other providers that have very heavy local accents that affect the quality of their service.

Representatives handling incoming calls have to provide instructions to the user or customer and walk them through steps on how to fix their PC, for instance, or how to install software. Therefore, it is critical that their representatives have clear accent, articulation and pronunciation.

Offshoring also addresses the need for increased efficiencies. They can accomplish this because they are experts in managing and implementing outsourced tech support functions to begin with.

While clients retain control of their initiatives, working with an offshore tech support firm in the Philippines gives them the peace of mind that their operations are in the hands of specialists.
