Dell Holds Business Forum in Cebu
By Paul Catiang

In their desire to build a relationship with the members of the Cebu business community, Dell International Services Philippines Inc. hosted a business forum on March 23, 2006 at the Cebu Marriott Hotel. The company also paid visits to local academic institutions such as the University of San Carlos and the University of Cebu.

The international computer manufacturing company had recently opened its call center operation in the Mall of Asia in Pasay City and, according to Country Manager Mike Garrison, was encouraged by the positive performance of Dell’s current Philippine contact center personnel. Mr. Garrison also told a local newspaper that expanding its operations to Cebu was not one of its immediate priorities; he said the company is still open to the possibility.

Dell International Services has 30 call center operations worldwide, located in countries like India, the United States, Canada, Panama, El Salvador, Ireland and China.
