IBM has opened a new global delivery facility in Nuvali, a fast-growing eco-city development in Santa Rosa, Laguna. This affirms the company\u2019s continued expansion into the country\u2019s next wave cities following its announcement in May this year regarding launching a similar facility in Naga City in the Bicol region.<\/p>\n
Both Sta. Rosa and Naga City are recognized as the country\u2019s \u2018next wave cities,\u2019 or growth centers outside Metro Manila that are poised to serve as Information and\u00a0 Communications Technology (ICT) hubs due to their rich talent, steady telecom infrastructure and support facilities, and generally favorable investment climate.<\/p>\n
\u201cIBM\u2019s expansion in Sta. Rosa or the \u2018Lion City of the South,\u2019 reinforces our strategy and deliberate effort to grow and nurture local talent and develop further opportunities in the country\u2019s next wave cities,\u201d says IBM Philippines President and Country General Manager Mariels Almeda Winhoffer. \u201cThis demonstrates our continued commitment to the country as we work towards enabling a Smarter Philippines.\u201d<\/p>\n
The new facility in Nuvali, Sta. Rosa provides another strategic location for IBM Global Process Services (GPS), which will drive its continued expansion in delivering innovative business solutions to its broad range of global clients in Customer Relationship Management, Human Resources, Application Services, Finance & Accounting and Supply Chain Management.<\/p>\n
Organizations are increasingly partnering with IBM to elevate capabilities and drive innovation across functions in order to improve business outcomes.<\/p>\n
This complements the company\u2019s existing operations in Metro Manila, where it maintains a number of established global delivery centers in three key cities – Quezon City, Makati City and Pasig City. The expansion further strengthens IBM’s presence and existing service delivery capability in the Philippines, which currently serve over a million client employees across 84 countries.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Philippines remains one of the strategic locations in IBM\u2019s global delivery network that integrates capabilities, assets, and skills without borders,\u201d said GPS Delivery Country Leader Cassandra Soto. \u201cWith our second global delivery facility in Sta. Rosa City (after Naga City) this year, IBM is in a better position to provide premier career opportunities to more local talent, while helping enhance the country\u2019s global competitiveness in the business process solutions industry.\u201d<\/p>\n
