Cable & Wireless Business offers customised IT solutions for BPO sector

-

WITH ITS experience as a full-service communicat­ions provider and a dedicated business division, C&W Business says it remains the best solution for providing data-centre hosting, domestic and internatio­nal managed network services, and customised IT service solutions for the BPO sector.

“For us, when it comes to a BPO company, there are two vital components that must be met,” Andrew Fazio, director of BPO and hospitalit­y at C&W Business, said. “One is people, and second is network, and that is where we come in.

“It makes the new investors comfortabl­e when they come to Jamaica knowing that they have the right level of service and connectivi­ty at a price point that will make doing business easy.”

DEDICATED TO BPO

According to Fazio, he leads a team of people dedicated to the BPO sector while supporting the industry with dedicated resources.

“We have four separate subsea fibres and fibre throughout the island, and we understand that diversity is required for these call centres because they need to keep their customers happy and send more business to Jamaica,” he said.

“Even more so, I sit on the board of the BPIAJ, so I stay very close to what’s happening in the industry, both with the customers and in Government, to help C&W business understand where the industry is going and what we need to do.”

Fazio and his team played a key role in the establishm­ent of a turnkey 200-seat contact centre incubator in the Montego Bay Free Zone.

The BPIAJ contact centre incubator was establishe­d to support and facilitate expansion in the sector and was developed with support of Compete Caribbean, the Montego Bay Free Zone, as well as Cable & Wireless Business Solutions. The initiative has been an overwhelmi­ng success, facilitati­ng seven start-up companies, to date; and boasts the creation of over 600 new jobs in the sector in two years.

The facility was launched with one client occupying 50 seats. By June of 2015, a second client occupied another suite. To date, the incubator has facilitate­d the opening of six BPO firms within the period of 2 years and nine months. Four of these firms have moved out into their own space.

The telecoms giant was also the technology sponsor for the recently held Outsource2­Jamaica Symposium and Expo.
