As the BPO industry continues its expansion, some sectors are already looking at knowledge- process outsourcing as another potential gold mine for the Philippines. Cirdia Ltd. is among those who are taking charge.

India holds the top slot with 35 per cent market share. But the Philippines is poised to take over the number one position in non-voice based outsourcing market soon, says the report. It has a sizeable presence in voice-based call centres, too. More...
