Philippine firm targets app development outsourcing

02.03.2007
Software development firm Exist Global aims to arm business process outsourcing (BPO) companies in the Philippines with 'software development outsourcing' services -- seeing the niche as the trend of the future.

In an interview this week with Computerworld Philippines, Charles Ames, vice president for business development for Exist Global Inc., said that although the Philippines is seen as a leader of the BPO space relating to call centers and other types of key business processes, it has yet to be recognized as a leader in software development outsourcing.

'We plan to work with Philippine BPOs who want to extend their portfolios to offer software development services,' he said.
