Wipro BPO center in Philippines

CEBU, PHILIPPINES: Wipro Technologies today opened a BPO center in Cebu, Philippines, as part of the company’s strategy to build global delivery capabilities.

The Indian firm said in a statement that it plans to hire more than 900 employees.

The 45,000 sq. ft. center will focus on both voice and non-voice business in the field of customer service support, technical support, HR services, financial and accounting and procurement services.

Wipro is also looking at establishing additional centers in other fast-growing cities in the Philippines.

“The Philippines is one of the largest English-speaking nations with a strong IT orientation and a talent pool of 29 million. This is one location that we definitely want to expand our presence in,” said TK Kurien, president, Wipro BPO.

Earlier this year, investment advisory firm Tholons identified Manila among the top five prime outsourcing destinations and Cebu as one of the leading emerging global destinations for outsourced processes.
