5 Reasons Why Outsourcing and ITIL Should Go Together

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Although outsourcing is a powerful growth hacking method, there are still some issues with its flow which can be compensated with the implementation of ITIL.


ITIL - A Growing Trend in the Outsourcing Market
The demand for IT is continuously growing – this insatiable market is spreading day after day. If your business is one of the many in this sea, you must be aware of the fact that the competition is very tough and, sometimes, just staying in the niche can be challenging.

Your success comes down to one thing really – the quality of your products or services, and if you capitalize here, there’s no reason why your clientele would ever have to stop being loyal to you and go to another brand. We’re all familiar with outsourcing and its power for growth hacking, but perhaps that power can be enhanced. To remain ahead of your competition, you need to be in continuous search for tools which will enable you exactly that, which is why it’s necessary to consider ITIL.

A Solid Structure

ITIL, which is short for Information Technology Infrastructure Library, provides its users with a very clever system which contains the finest practices and methodologies. It’s an operating standard for IT businesses which offers a system that can regulate all activities happening in a complex business that supplies the market with various services. When implemented, ITIL can regulate IT operations of companies working together and create a solid structure for their cooperation. Specifically for telecom, you can build a solid structure by….

A Strong Connection

A learning curve and an adaptation process are necessary when ITIL is implemented into a business, and although it may seem like it slows you down at first, you’ll be able to see its benefits quickly. Some of the benefits are… Project managers in different companies can communicate via its systems and thus be able to distribute clear tasks to different departments within their business. Telecom is the strength behind communications

Safety Net

Although a management team is responsible for regulating work within a company and they are responsible for its outcome, they too use project management tools to function. Because management software can only do so much, ITIL would become a safety net for two different businesses that are partnering up. It can help with… in the telecom world.

Communication Tool

The biggest problem with outsourcing is a lack of transparent communication, and many factors are contributing to this – different time zones and cultural differences are the most important ones. A system like this provides the means for clear communication between parties, which contributes to increasing the quality of their results and the efficiency when it comes to time and staying within the deadline. It helps by… Naturally, a lot depends on finding a reliable business when outsourcing, but transparent communication plays a very important role here.

Possibilities for Expansion

We already mentioned how a set of these practices and methodologies provides a solid structure for the functioning of two businesses that are distant, geographically speaking. However, another great benefit comes with the appliance of ITIL, and that’s room for expansion. When implemented, this set of systems establishes routines and frames the procedures necessary for completing tasks and thus, it takes off a load of work from the whole business, leaving room for employees in different departments to refocus and invest their time and creativity towards growth.

With these benefits, ITIL is obviously a tool which can make the workflow of a business a lot smoother if used properly. Although there are changes that need to be introduced to the way you do business, and your employees will need some getting used to, it’s definitely worth your while.

Andres Bonifacio as first Philippine President Proposed

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Atty. Gary Bonifacio, great-great-grand-nephew of 19th century Katipunan revolutionary movement founder Andres Bonifacio and great-great-grandson of the hero’s brother Procopio Bonifacio, made a public appeal on November 29 at the non-partisan Pandesal Forum of Kamuning Bakery Café in Quezon City for the government to declare his forebear as “the first president of the Philippines based on the recommendations of many nationalist historians and scholars to correct historical injustices”.

Atty. Bonifacio, now an election officer in San Juan City, clarified: “Supremo Andres Bonifacio’s Katipunan was not only a revolutionary organization but it was a revolutionary government of the Philippines. He referred to all Filipinos and the Philippines as Tagalogs and the Tagalog republic, because he refused to use the colonial name imposed by the Spanish colonizers. When he used the term ‘Tagalog people’, it referred to all of us whether Tagalogs, Visayan, Ilonggo, Ilocano, Tausug. Andres Bonifacio had a vision and concept of our nationhood, in fact, he even opened Philippine citizenship to foreigners living in our isles, to Chinese who were already second-generation here and to fourth-generation Spaniards here.”

Andres Bonifacio and his brother Procopio Bonifacio were both unjustly murdered on May 10, 1897 in the mountains of Maragondon in Cavite province. They were executed by the soldiers of and upon orders of General Emilio Aguinaldo, after their very controversial and unjust trial in Naic, Cavite and also after the controversial 1897 Tejeros convention. After the deaths of Andres and Procopio Bonifacio, other members of their family were persecuted and went into hiding for many years.

Andres Bonifacio founded the anti-colonial revolutionary movement and government called Kataastaasan Kagalanggalang na Katipunan (KKK) ng mga Anak ng Bayan or the Katipunan. He was unjustly murdered at age 33, while his brother Procopio was also murdered at age 28.

Complete Your Beauty Regimen with Proactiv Solution

Wazzup Pilipinas!

We highly recommend to include Proactiv on your complete beauty regimen.

Women’s beauty regimen may be deemed complicated by many, with all the elements that come with it to ensure that their beauty comes out in all its majestic glory.

But to achieve total beauty, it all boils down to having a healthy attitude and lifestyle. Of course, the Proactiv Solution completes any beauty regimen, especially when dealing with the dreaded acne, a common skin problem of anyone.

So, make your skin beautifully radiant with these healthy and practical tips from Proactiv for that worry-free look.

It starts with having clean hands before washing or touching parts of your face. Remove any trace of makeup and dampen skin with lukewarm and not hot water since it won’t kill acne bacteria. It will just make your face turn red because of increased blood flow in your face. Hot water also won’t open your pores, and neither would cold water close them, if that’s what your friend told you. Your pores’ appearance really depends on the amount of oil, dirt and dead skin cells that accumulate in your pore area.

And like what Proactiv always says, keep exfoliating. Exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells, and with Proactiv Solution’s exfoliating beads, will aid in shedding those dead cells and prepare your skin for any medication that will be applied.

Plus, whatever happens, never scrub. While exfoliation means the gentle removal of dead skin cells, scrubbing is its violent counterpart if you think it will remove acne. It will not only create small skin tears, but also make it more prone to infection and inflammation. Don’t use cleansers with strong alcohol content as well for it will remove the skin’s natural moisture and oil content.

Lastly, avoid picking your pimples. Learn to pick the proper treatment and certainly, picking or squeezing your pimples is not one of them. And whatever you do, spot treatment won’t work. Apply the Proactiv Solution on your whole face and not on select or pimple-marked areas. The secret is consistency, which means applying Proactiv Solution every day without fail.

Good thing for Filipinos is that the well-loved Proactiv Solution is here to stay and help solve Filipinos’ perennial skin problems such as acne. It uses a 3-Step system to achieve that clear and healthy, glowing skin you’ve always dreamed of.

Complete your daily beauty regimen with Proactiv Solution. Price is at Php 2,495 for the 30-day kit and Php 3,995 for the 60-day kit. Just visit any Watsons and SM Department Store nationwide.
