Of Call Center Visits and DTI's IT Outlook Presentation

July's turning out to be quite busy for IT Investment Promotion with the visit of teams from 2 call centers only a few days apart: June 30-July 1 and July 4-8. Both call center teams were given the IT Outlook presentations by DTI-Negros Oriental and given the full Investment Promotion tour with TVB Group's assistance. They talked with the telcos, checked out all the available locator-sites and tourism/hosting facilities, and visited universities and the BPOs that have located or opened here. At Silliman University, Foundation University, and St. Paul University, the teams interacted with the students to experience first-hand the local population's facility with the English language.

Both teams were quite impressed with what they saw here and by the success of SPI-Publishers Services. One, composed of senior management, has indicated their intent to start with a small site in Dumaguete within the year.

This morning, DTI-Negros Oriental did its IT Outlook presentation for the Oriental Negros Chapter of the League of Mayors of the Phils. While Jong Fortunato did the presentation, TVB Group provided technical support.
