Cost Savings
The same great talent at half the price you’d expect.
The cost of hiring a qualified software developer in the Philippines is significantly less than in Western countries. We are talking about paying less than one-third to one half in salaries compared to US-based devs. Plus, the level of skill is competitive with the rest of the world, which means that with Philippine talent, you get to spend less while expecting quality results.
English Proficiency
Understanding is key to any business relationship, and in the Philippines, the English language comes naturally.
Filipinos are fluent in English, simply because it is the primary language used in business and education. As a matter of fact, the English literacy rate in the country is more than 93 percent, and only the United States and Canada have more fluent English speakers. Their neutral accent also gives Filipinos an edge over other English-speaking nations.
Education
A Western university system at par with the rest of the world.
The country regularly produces software developer graduates that can compete with those of Western universities. Every year, more than 37,000 students earn college degrees in various IT specialties, awarded by schools with international academic accreditations.
Work Ethic
Integrity. Respect. Fun.
Talent and skills are not enough without the right work ethic. You can get more out of your offshore team in the Philippines because you know that their set of values, integrity, and respectful attitude will carry them through any project or challenging situation. Of course, it helps that we try to create a fun but productive corporate environment in Cebu that delivers results every time.
Technology
Embracing the latest in IT outsourcing.
The Philippines has always been very progressive when it comes to welcoming new technology, so it’s natural for Filipinos to already be adept in IT fields like IP telephony, in platforms for social media (the country is the seventh largest market for Facebook), and of course, in various specializations of software development. The nation may be small, but it is always looking ahead to the future.
Infrastructure
Providing a solid foundation in which offshoring can thrive.
Professional software developers get a boost from the government, who continues to pour resources and attract investments for the BPO industry and IT business and educational sectors. This support not only fosters improvement in IT infrastructure, but also helps give offshore teams some added leeway to guarantee consistent quality performance.
