When people say outsourcing, a select few countries would immediately come to mind.  But while the economy continues its recovery and business continues to thrive, more and more places are being tagged as ‘the best’ or ‘the hottest’ outsourcing destination.  Not all outsourcing destinations however were created equal, which is why many outsourcing providers have branched out in one place or another, some obviously preferring that destination, some to sample the local flavor to see if they’ll prosper there.

June Signals Expansions Into Different Regions

For June, three big companies announced expansions, all in different parts of the world.  First of which is French company Teleperformance (EPA:RCF).  The company announced on the 7th of June that they are expanding their presence in the Asian market by establishing an Asian regional headquarters in Makati City, Philippines.  Known for the reliable source of quality manpower in terms of customer relationship management, the Philippines has long been one of the preferred outsourcing destinations, primarily because of the talent, and quality of manpower that can be found in the country.  Commenting on the development, David Rizzo, President of Teleperformance Asia Pacific said, “The new center and Asia/Pacific regional headquarters are in an ideal setting for us. It offers access to the highest caliber of talent to help meet and exceed the quality of service goals of our Clients and partners.”  Notably, Teleperformance had only just this January announced another center opening in the Philippines, which speaks volumes of just how much the company views the Philippines as an outsourcing destination.

Indian company Wipro Technologies (NYSE:WIT) on the other hand, has expanded with a new center in Seoul, Korea on the 17th of June.  Banking on the potential of Korea to be a viable IT outsourcing destination, the company has established a center in order to enhance its position as a business transformation analyst.  Although relatively lesser known, Korea’s information technology talent pool is hailed to be above reproach, making it attractive for companies, hence, Wipro’s decision to expand into the Korea – South Korea, to be exact.  As Rajat Mathur, Senior Vice President and Chief Sales and Operations Officer APAC, Wipro Technologies, said, “South Korea is an important market for us and in addition to our existing clients, we will be pursuing both new business and partnership opportunities.”

Lastly, multinational corporation Sykes Enterprises (NASDAQ:SYKE) has expanded into the EMEA region with the opening of a new center in Cluj, Romania.  Another IT outsourcing hub, Romania had been slowly gaining steam, albeit at a slower rate than other destinations, but the country’s performance last year has shown a marked decrease in its growth.  Sykes, however, is still banking on Romania as an ideal location.  “Given the long-term growth opportunity in the customer contact management industry, the expansion into Cluj, Romania, builds on our initial beach-head in Eastern Europe going back more than a decade and further strengthens our low-cost near-shore delivery capability for the European continent,” said Chuck Sykes, President and Chief Executive Officer.

TCS Meanwhile Banks on Latin America

On the 24th of July, India’s top software exporter, Tata Consultancy Services Ltd or TCS, after the release on the 15th of July of their stellar results for the past quarter, announced that they will be banking on business in the Latin American region to double their sales within the next five years.  According to Alejandro Valenzuela, the company’s manager for Peru that the sales target is over $1 billion.  Based on the company’s last quarter results, the company’s growth in the Latin America was at 4.3%, with the region’s economic growth expected to reach 5% this year according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF).  Just recently on the 25th of July, the company announced that they are already going forward with the plan, and has announced their entry into the Peruvian market, in Lima.

Countries are now aligning themselves with the outsourcing industry to attract more companies. And while companies expand even further, not all outsourcing destinations will prove to be the best option.   Some companies may opt to go the tried and tested route while some may take the road not taken.  In any business however, location is still key.

Does your SEO agency use SEO marketing it’s a great SEO tool. Using articles to promote your business lets you demonstrate your expertise within a certain area. On top of this you can use articles to gain mass exposure, increasing your authority of a subject on the web and get backlinks to your site.



Using articles to get backlinks



There are a number of benefits to article marketing. Many article directory sites enable you to have keywords rich anchor text back links within your article. Some article sites offer “dofollow” links others are “nofollow”. As well as getting a back link from the site where you publish the article when other webmasters re-publish the content on their site you will also get a back link from them.



Writing Articles



It can be really difficult to come up with interesting content for your website so it is common for many website owners to use article directories to find content for their site. The most successful articles are the ones that get republished a lot. These articles tend to be lists of things like top 10 tips or the most expensive whatever product. Another good way to come up with interesting articles is to see what is popular on social bookmarking sites and create unique and interesting content similar to what is hot at the moment.



Article marketing is quite similar to online PR and when used by SEO agencies quite often they have the same purpose which is to create backlinks and increased online exposure. The main difference is a Press Release tends to be a more newsworthy article or quite often is some sort of company announcement. Whether you are writing articles or press releases for distribution they both have to be interesting to have the maximum impact.



When we write content for distribution we never know what is going to be a big hit, quite often articles about brands will get re-published a lot as articles are used by a lot of affiliate bloggers.



When writing articles for distribution I would not recommend you put these on your own site as you may get duplicate content penalties. This is because article directories with the masses of content added to them daily are indexed and crawled quicker than most regular sites. Google will usually only index content from where it believes to be the initial source so even if you added the article to your site first you may not be attributed by Google as the article originator.

Nokia’s latest messaging handset is the E5. It looks similar to the E72 and E63, but runs a simplified menu system that’s all about staying in touch via text, email and social networking. The full qwerty keypad makes typing quick and easy, while wi-fi and 3G allow you to browse the web at speed.


The E5 will no doubt be a big hit and is already proving to be a popular choice. If you’ve got one, there are a number of Nokia E5 accessories you can buy to help you get the most out of the phone. As there are so many to choose from, here are 5 recommendations from us.


Nokia E5 Carrying Case CP-506


This case from Nokia has been created especially for the E5. It’s a stylish pouch that you slide your phone into when it’s not in use. It has a microfibre lining to keep your phone clean and free from fingerprints or scratches. Like most modern cases, there’s no belt clip, just a wrist strap. The case still allows you to use your headphones and charger while the case is on your E5.

Martin Fields E5 Screen Protector


The Martin Fields E5 Screen Protector is without doubt one of the best quality screen protectors you can get. They’re crystal clear and will keep the screen of your phone looking like new. They don’t reduce the clarity of your screen and colours look exactly the way they’re supposed to. If your screen protector gets dirty, they can be removed easily from the phone, cleaned and refitted. They are available individually or in a twin pack.

Nokia 8GB MicroSDHC Memory Card


If you want to store your music, photos and videos on your E5 you’ll need to increase its memory. Despite being advertised as a multimedia handset, it only has a tiny amount of internal storage – just 250MB. Nokia do include a 2GB card to get you started, but this will soon fill up so one of the first purchases you will need to make is a memory card. The E5 supports Micro SDHC memory cards of up to 32GB in size. 8GB is enough to store up to 7000 high quality photos, 1500 songs and 9 hours of video. Memory Cards are currently available in 2GB4GB8GB16GB and 32GB.

Nokia BH-505 Stereo Bluetooth Headset


If you want better audio, but don’t want wires, then you need to get yourself a Stereo Bluetooth Headset. They work in pretty much the same way as a standard Bluetooth Headset, but as they have two earpieces, you can listen to your music and calls in stereo. As there are no wires connecting the BH-505 and the Nokia E5, they’re a great choice for when you’re at the gym, cycling, running etc, as you’re not going to get tangled in a mass of wires. There are music controls on the headset, so you can play, pause, skip tracks and answer calls, all without having to touch your phone.

Nokia E5 Silicone Cover CC-1007


Sometimes the simplest cases are the best. Silicone cases are made from a thin, tough silicone gel that protects the back and sides of your Nokia E5 against knocks and scrapes. They add very little to your phone in terms of weight and size and are designed to repel dust and fluff. They allow full access to your screen and keypad but as they leave the screen exposed you’ll need to invest in a Nokia E5 screen protector to go with it. The CC-1007 is available in White, Black and Blue.

This isn’t the full range of Nokia E5 Cases and accessories, just 5 of the most popular. To see the full range, head over the the Nokia E5 Accessories page.

http://www.hangelbel.net/2010/09/data-entry-work-from-home-earn-

One of the lines that are actually making a good buzz as of late is data entry work from home jobs. They’re extremely easy to do, highly educational, and can really compensate well.

But what exactly is a data entry job? Basically, it is a kind of work that requires your typing skills to encode things and put them on a computer. There are a good number of different varieties of this line of work, and most of them don’t need you to be an expert just to get paid.

If you’re quite interested in pursuing a data entry work from home job, you have a number of options. Some of them are the following:

1. Becoming a freelance writer. Almost every person knows how to write. It’s just a simple manner of weaving words to convey a specific idea. You honestly don’t need to be an English major just to get in this job as long as you produce quality output that your clients will love.

Mainly, topics that you will write about can be about anything under the sun. This is why this job is loved by many, because not only are they able to hone their skills, but it also helps them learn a lot from all of the research that has to be done.

2. Work as a transcriptionist. If you have a keen ear with accents and pronunciations, this can be an excellent line for you. All you have to do here is to transcribe or put in writing a specific audio file that has been given to you. The only clincher with this job, however, is that there are a lot of sources of these audio files. Some of them are medical, while others are more corporate. Choosing the right line according to your skills and experience can help you be more efficient and capable of doing the task delegated to you.

3. Translation jobs. With more and more companies now trying to become more comprehensive, they need more documents, even from other languages, to be in their system. If you’re quite proficient in two or more languages, this can be an excellent opportunity for you.

4. Research. The field of research is one of the most industries that got hit by the recession and the internet bubble burst. However, this doesn’t mean that you can’t work for this industry, especially today when outsourcing is at its peak.

These four are just some of the top examples of data entry work at home jobs that you can take advantage of easily. In this industry, all you need is just a little bit of trainable skills, and you can already make a good living, even better than what you received while working nine to five jobs.

Years ago, voice dialling was a novelty feature found on only a few of the top end smartphones. These days it’s found on most mobile phones, Bluetooth Car Kits and Bluetooth Headsets. The idea behind it is simple, rather than having to mess around with the menu on your phone, you can simply tell your device to do something and it will do it.


As is often the case with mobile phones, each manufacturer implements the technology slightly differently -which makes it a little more difficult to use and can cause some confusion.


We’ve been asked a few times recently to help people to understand voice dialling on phones and car kits, so I thought I’d put a quick guide together that explains how it works, what it can do, what the differences are and what accessories will work with it.


Voice Dialling on your Mobile Phone:


To use voice dialling on your phone, you’ll normally need to press and hold a button on the keypad to put the phone into listening mode. You’ll normally hear a beep to say it’s ok to start talking and you should see a notification on screen too. Once you start speaking, the phone will analyse your voice and match it to a contact in one of two ways – either using voice tags or voice recognition technology. In both cases your phone needs to have the necessary software to process your voice and match it to an entry in the phone book.


Voice Tags


The voice tag system has been around for quite a long time now. The way that they work is that you need to manually record yourself saying the name of a contact in your phone book. They work well, especially if you have multiple people in your phone book with the same name as you can say anything and use it as the voice tag. Other people won’t be able to use the voice dialling on your phone unless they re-record the voice tag.


Voice Dialling using pre-recorded tags

Voice Dialling using tags


The biggest downside though is that it’s not all that accurate. If you record the tag in a quiet environment and then want to voice dial someone while you’re in the car, the phone will struggle to match it because of all the background noise – often the easiest way round this is to record the tag while you’re driving, but it’s still not ideal.


Voice Recognition


The other, newer option uses voice recognition technology. This is where the phone recognises what you’ve said and matches it to the text entries in your phone book. It’s not perfect, but it is a lot more accurate than voice tags and you don’t need to waste any time recording a voice tag for every entry in your phone. Once you’ve added a name and number to the phonebook you can call them using voice dialling straight away. As it doesn’t rely on a recording of anyone’s voice, voice recognition systems can be used by any one.


Voice Dialling in the Car:


This is where it starts to get a little more complicated. Car kits are getting more advanced and are able to do much more than just act as a loud speaker. Just like phones, there are two different ways that voice dialling works when you use a car kit.


Phone Dependant Voice Dialling Car Kits


Just about all Bluetooth Car Kits support voice dialling, but most only pass your voice through to the phone. The way they work is that you press a button on the car kit to put it into listening mode. The car kit will then send a signal to the phone to tell it to listen out for a voice command and the car kit then relays your voice to the phone and the phone uses one of the two methods above to match your voice to a contact.


Most Car Kits activate voice dialling on phones

For these car kits to work, your phone still needs to support voice dialling. If your phone doesn’t have voice dialling, these kit’s won’t work, instead you’ll need to look for a car kit like the ones mentioned below.


Phone Independent Voice Dialling Car Kit


Phone independent kits work very differently to those mentioned above. Instead of passing your voice through to the phone, they process the signal themselves and tell your phone who to call.  There aren’t too many kits that support this yet, but more manufacturers are getting behind it and the prices are coming down. It’s normally found on fitted Car Kits rather than the Plug and Play Car Kits, but the Parrot Mini Kit Slim and Parrot Mini Kit Chic both support it.


Because it’s the car kit that processes your voice and matches it to a phonebook entry instead of your phone, you can use voice dialling even if your phone doesn’t have the feature.


Parrot Car Kits support Phone Independant Voice Dialling

Parrot Car Kits support Voice Dialling regardless of your phone


In order for this to work you’ll find that the car kit will need to synchronise with your phone and transfer a copy of your contacts to it’s internal memory. To make a call you press a button on the car kit to activate voice dialling and speak when prompted to do so. The car kit then matches your voice print to a phone book entry and then sends the number to your phone to initiate the call.


What can I do with it?


There’s no easy answer to this one as it’s all going to depend on the phone that you’ve got, but I can give you a few examples.



  • The HTC Desire users running the latest version of the Android can use their voice to search the internet, call people, search for an address and navigate to it using Google Maps.

  • iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 users can use voice control to find out the time, find out what song is playing, change track, play a specific album, dial numbers and call contacts from the phone book.

  • Nokia & Sony Ericsson owners can usually answer/end calls and call contacts from their phonebook.


Phones that support third party apps such as iPhone 4, Dell Streak and the HTC Desire will be able to download other apps that will enable them to do much more with their voice.

http://www.hangelbel.net/2010/08/finding-parttime-data-entry-job

If you’re looking for parttime data entry jobs, you need not fret. This is one of the easiest things to find online, especially since this industry is one of the most lucrative lines of work there is as of today.

But still, how do you find parttime data entry jobs? Well, here are some tips:

1. Check out different online classified ads. A lot of web workers are now outsourcing their own tasks because they can’t handle all the work there is available. You can benefit from this set up because the work load will probably be a lot easier.

2. Sign up with a trusted technical writing program. If you have no problem with a setup that requires a quota before you can withdraw your earnings, this can be an excellent gig for you. Normally, paid programs will let you get your own assignments according to your own preferences and capabilities. So, if you can only take a workload that you can finish within 2 to 3 hours, it’s perfectly fine with this environment.

3. Part time freelancing. Freelancing is one of the easiest methods to get parttime data entry jobs. All you have to do is take an assignment every time you have a free time, and you can already make some money out of it. This may be quite tricky, though, so you will really need to establish yourself first with a couple of employers who are willing to give you a number of things to do when you’re available.

In most cases, finding a parttime data entry job isn’t a big hassle. All you need is some knowledge with where you should look. Once you’ve got the science of this, you can already start making a lot of money out of your free time, which is always a great way to spend lazy weekends at home especially during tough times like these.
