Having worked in the BPO industry myself
for the past 10 years, I can literally say that the industry has grown on me or
in me whichever is the case. I would say that I have come to love the graveyard
shifts, the sleepless nights, the irate customers from halfway around the world
and the chain coffee drinking complemented by the chain cigarette smoking along
with the early morning after shift drinking sessions that lasts till the “wee
hours” of the afternoon. That is right everything here is done in reverse. I
think I was made for this kind of life.
My brain, my thought patterns, my circadian
rhythm, the way I dress, the way I talk and the way everything is for me. I am
all decked out and caparisoned for the BPO industry. That is why I got so
psyched when I found out that the real estate and property development company
where I got my not too humble and not too ostentatious abode from, The Property
Company of Friends, Inc. or Profriends as probably a lot of people know got
itself involved in pushing the BPO forward to even greater heights. I love and
support institutions and corporations that are down with what BPO companies are
doing. I commend both Profriends and PLDT for bringing together their expertise
in putting up the first I.T Park in the province of Cavite called the Suntech
iPark.
The Suntech iPark is what I have said
earlier, the only I.T Park in the province of Cavite covering about 25 hectares
of property intended to house call centers, BPO companies and I.T companies.
The park is just 25 minutes away from the airport making it an ideal location
for international call center and BPO companies to set up shop. The Suntech
iPark is bound to be the main springboard of the BPO industry in the Southern
Tagalog area, providing employment opportunities not only for the residents of
Profriends’ subdivision developments but also from those outlying areas. The
park offers BPO companies state-of-the-art facilities and communications
infrastructure. It is indeed a total I.T park that will support the needs of
the investors to achieve their business goals. Every building is geared to house
thousands of highly skilled BPO employees on an around the clock operations. The
support that companies need will be provided by the Suntech iPark through high
end, state-of-the-art voice and data transmission technologies.
This is where
the Philippine Long Distance telephone Company comes in. The Philippine
telecommunication giant has inked an agreement with the Property Company of
Friends, Inc. to oversee the procurement, setting up, maintenance and
day-to-day operation of all telecommunication equipment and infrastructures in
the I.T Park. Included in the signed agreement is PLDT’s assurance to supply
the I.T Park with the Next Generation Network or NGN technology for short. This
is to guarantee faster and reliable broadband services inside the facility
(from the way it sounds, it seems like NGN is a technology designed to deliver
high speed and powerful internet. This partnership is so perfect that it
appears like it is a marriage made in bugged-out heaven. Definitely awesome. You can go on a virtual trip at http://www.youtube.com/user/profriendsweb
