BPAP changes name to IBPAP

MANILA, Philippines - The Business Processing Association of the Philippines (BPAP) announced the formal change of its name to Information Technology and Business Process Association of the Philippines (IBPAP) to accurately reflect the range of information technology and business process management (IT-BPM) services provided from the Philippines. 

“This move represents the association’s strong commitment to the entire outsourcing sector, where buyers are looking increasingly at bundled IT-BPM services options. We recognize that IT is an important component of these options,” said Benedict Hernandez, outgoing IBPAP president and CEO.

According to Hernandez, who will officially assume the role of chairman of the IBPAP Executive Committee this month, the name change aims to represent the association in the global IT market since members serve customers for both business process services and information technology.

“Changing our name to IBPAP will help preserve as well as expand the Philippine industry’s brand. The new name also emphasizes the less-known fact that we provide the whole spectrum of world-class services from here, including corporate and complex services, creative processes and products, customer relations and healthcare information management, and software product development,” he said.
