12.06.2006
The Philippines is a viable hub for outsourced engineering and design services given proper marketing and further improvement of local talent pool, according to an executive of software firm Autodesk Inc.

Teddy Tiu, Philippine business development manager for Autodesk, which makes software used by design professionals, noted a growing trend in the outsourcing of engineering and design work and added the country has a good chance of tapping into this opportunity given enough marketing push.

'There is a lot of opportunity for local talents, as we see more foreign companies locating here and tapping the local workforce,' said Tiu.
