The new centre, which celebrated its grand opening on May 29, 2015, will help the company fulfill its global strategy of achieving annual revenue of US$1 billion and a commanding 30,000 strong IT workforce in the region by 2020.

The Philippines is considered a promising destination for the software industry due to the large pool of IT and engineering university graduates and their strong command of the English language.
