Philippines becoming a 'better option' than India

07.04.2006
The Philippines is becoming a better option than India as an outsourcing destination due to several factors like performance issues and increasing wages, according to an executive from international management consulting firm Chalr' Associates.

Chief executive officers from the U.S. are now saying that the Philippines has 'better people, better business environment, better infrastructure, and a better lifestyle,' according to Richard Mills, chairman of Chalr' Associates.

'The Philippines has not really done a very good job in marketing the country; still, managers are now looking at the Philippines as a very good option,' Mills noted in an interview with Computerworld Philippines.
