Integreon, a global leader in corporate, legal and financial complex knowledge process outsourcing (KPO), launched its new office in Makati City, Philippines.
The launch, held at the 6750 Office Tower on Ayala Avenue, was led by Jaime Augusto Zobel de Ayala, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Ayala Corp. In October 2006 LiveIt Solutions Inc., Ayala group’s investment arm for business process outsourcing, and Integreon announced a management-led buyout transaction that resulted in a majority stake for LiveIt.
Also present were Fred Ayala, LiveIt CEO; Liam Brown, Integreon President and CEO; and Erik Joseph Tabuena, Integreon Philippines Country Manager.
In his keynote address, Mr. Zobel de Ayala cited the Philippines’ capacity to become a “powerhouse” in knowledge process services and stated that, “The Ayala group is convinced that the time is right for the Philippines to re-position itself to become a leading global provider of outsourced high-value, professional services.”
“Our greatest asset is that Filipinos are well-educated and have an excellent ability to operate successfully across both multiple cultures and knowledge domains,” he stressed.
Mr. Zobel de Ayala notes that globally competitive business organizations are investing heavily to enable their workforce to manage knowledge and to be more productive. In the US alone, there are an estimated 48 million knowledge workers out of its total 137 million workers. The value that can be attained even with a one-percent gain in total productivity by its knowledge workers is substantial, he noted. “The Philippines is well-positioned to gain a significant share of outsourcing serving knowledge-intensive businesses. I expect to see rapid KPO growth here.” Mr. Zobel de Ayala states.
Fred Ayala, LiveIt Solutions’ Chief Executive Officer, said that Integreon has a strong track record in delivering the highest levels of quality outsourcing services for the world’s top legal and financial firms. Integreon’s customers include six of the ten largest global investment banks, two of three largest global law firms, many Fortune 100 and FTSE 100 corporations, several top private equity firms and hedge funds. Integreon’s services enable its corporate clients to spend more time on high-value work such as strategy and competence enhancement.
“The entry of Integreon into the Philippines marks a breakthrough for the country into the high value add and rapidly growing KPO and LPO (Legal Process Outsourcing) sectors. For Integreon, the opening of our new Philippine operation will enable it to expand its geographic footprint, gain access to a large new pool of skilled managers and professionals, and enhance Business Continuity Planning capabilities,” Mr. Ayala said.
Liam Brown, Integreon’s CEO, added that Integreon, which has offices in New York, Mumbai, Delhi, London and North Dakota, has long viewed Manila as a potential strategic delivery site. Its relationship with Ayala Corp. brings a host of advantages from recruitment to commercial real estate procurement.
“The quality and abundance of talent as well as the affinity for US legal and financial frameworks are definite advantages in locating here,” Brown stated, adding that, among popular offshore destinations, the Philippines offers the highest percent of graduates who are suitable for knowledge intensive tasks.
According to Brown, Integreon’s presence in the Philippines enhances the firm’s ability to seize opportunities in the Offshore Legal Services sector, which is expected to grow to nearly $500 million; E-Discovery, which involves the process of securing electronic data for litigation purposes and which is expected to grow to $3.4 billion within five yeas; as well as in Offshoring Research and Analytics in banking and financial services, which is projected to grow to $620 million within five years.
Founded in 1998, Integreon is a pioneer in the KPO and LPO sectors, and was named last year as the world’s leading provider of Research and Analytics outsourcing for the second year running, and the world’s leading provider of Legal Document outsourcing in the fourth annual “Black Book of Outsourcing” which is the Brown Wilson Group’s prestigious annual survey of outsourcing vendors and advisors.
