Cisco Philippines acknowledged that the booming call center industry and the IT storage requirements of various industries are the main drivers for its growth in the Philippines.

The call center industry has contributed to Cisco Philippines’s 100% growth for fiscal year 2006 and is expected to achieve the same growth forecast for fiscal year 2007.

Cisco Philippines’ country manager said that while most Philippine-based BPO firms are still targeting the US market, he said some are already looking to Europe for possible opportunities.
