3 REASONS
Why the Philippines?
And why Xtreme Offshore Outsourcing?
Here are the three reasons clients choose us.
REASON 01
The BTO approach
Business change through technology, not just lower labor costs
REASON 02
Choosing the Philippines
English, specialist skills and youth — an offshore location the world has recognized
REASON 03
Developing our people
Graduates educated across many fields for work with companies abroad
01REASON
BPO × DX = BTO
From "hand it over" to "change how it works"
BTO (Business Transformation Outsourcing) breaks with BPO as simple task-taking. Using our experience, our knowledge and technology, we propose ways of working that go beyond cutting labor costs, to deliver the highest possible return on your investment. Whatever efficiency we gain, we put back into quality control by our people and into speed — raising both the pace and the quality of your business.
| Aspect | Traditional BPO | BTO |
|---|---|---|
| Goal | Reduce labor costs | Maximize return and change how the work is done |
| Approach | Carry out defined tasks | Review the work itself and propose improvements |
| Means | Manual work by people | People making full use of tools, for higher quality and greater speed |
| Relationship | A vendor | A partner in your growth |
02REASON
English × specialist skills × youth.
Filipino talent the world recognizes
With strong English and specialist skills, Filipino professionals are valued in the US market,
where the country is the second largest offshore destination after India.
Cost, quality and responsiveness — a new option that covers all three.
Third largest English-speaking nation in the world
One of Asia's largest English-speaking populations, and a real advantage in working with Western companies.
Second in the world as an IT offshore destination for the US
IT work sent offshore from the US (top 5)
IT work sent offshore from Japan (top 5)
Having built its record with Western clients, the Philippines still has room to grow as a destination for Japanese companies, with less competition for its talent.

A population approaching Japan's, at around half the median age. There is no shortage of young, motivated people.

Graduation rate
More than 1.6 million people enter university in the Philippines each year, and about 670,000 (approx. 41.5%) graduate. Those who make it through bring both subject knowledge and real drive.
03REASON
From educated graduates
to working teams
In the Philippines, university education covers far more than software engineering. Law, tax, accounting, human resources, general affairs and other fields that keep a company running are taught with work for — or work at — companies abroad in mind.
Because that grounding is already there, we can build teams that deliver real work in less time and at lower cost.
Fields taught at university level
Less of a burden to train
