  14. Benefits of Philippines • Philippines is the third largest English speaking country* Labor is relatively cheaper compared to other nations* Availability of well educated computer savvy workforce* Different government incentives to attract investments* Strategic location that allows 24 hours work compliment with US and UK* Quality software firms are availableDrawbacks:* Less developed IT and networking infrastructure* Political instability

  15. Edge: Philippines 1. Skilled Workers - The lack of skilled workers in India has caused prices to increase in recent years, while the talent pool in the Philippines remains largely untouched. The current lack of options in the Philippines allows for higher employee retention and continued growth with their offshore counterparts.2. Cost - Simply put, the Philippines remain a less expensive option. In some specific industries, employee costs in India have risen to approximately 60% of comparable costs in the US, with the Philippines only achieving roughly 30% for those same positions.3. Cultural Adaption - When it comes to call centers and customer facing positions, having employees that understand well the intricacies of American culture provides huge qualitative benefits.
