After opening a delivery center in Cebu City, MicroSourcing is set to open another office in January next year - this time at the Mall of Asia (MOA) Complex in Pasay City, Metro Manila.
This new office occupies the 10th floor of TwoE-comCenter, a modern structure that is designed for business process outsourcing (BPO) companies. Its features include an iconic archway that connects the two buildings. This creates a large window, offering a breathtaking view of Manila Bay.
TwoE-comCenter is registered under the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA), with 100% backup electricity, 20 elevators, smoke detectors, sprinkler systems, and a cabling system provided by the country's leading telecommunications companies. It is also environment-friendly, making use of insulated glass units and energy-saving air conditioning systems.
The building was developed primarily for the corporate sector, but it also has features and facilities for recreation and entertainment. It will soon be home to several establishments where employees and guests can shop. They can also eat and relax at fine dining restaurants located at the fourth level.

Outsourcing and offshoring solutions provider MicroSourcing had set another milestone as it officially opened a new office in Cebu City yesterday. This is the company’s first delivery center outside the Metro Manila area.
MicroSourcing’s new office has a capacity of 210 seats and is located at 12th Floor TGU Tower, Asiatown IT Park, Lahug, Cebu City.
Asiatown IT Park covers 24 hectares of industrial land at the northern district of Cebu City. It has an underground telecommunications setup with high-speed Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) backbone, 23 kv underground power supply, two back-up water deep wells aside from the local water supply, and centralized sewage treatment. Moreover, the IT park offers not only business space but also areas for recreation and entertainment.
The IT park is a Special Economic Zone which offers government incentives for developers, IT park facilities/utilities providers, and IT enterprises registered under the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA).
Weeks prior to the official opening, the Manpower Acquisition Department launched a Recruitment Caravan in select establishments throughout the city to find suitable candidates for various positions, primarily Computer-Aided Drawing Technicians who are needed by one of MicroSourcing’s largest clients. The company is also looking for individuals who can fill positions in the fields of IT, Human Resources, and Finance.

A total of 35 employees of MicroSourcing, consisting of representatives of the management team and the departments, started the journey towards ISO 9001 and 27001 Certification in a whole day event at Eastwood Richmonde Hotel last October 26.
Led by Sophie Woo, Head of Operational Excellence, and advised by Peter Duran and Richard Regalado, both experienced Quality and Information Security Management consultants, the certification has been identified as one of the company's main objectives for the first half of next year. After CEO Philip Kooijman explained the importance and benefits of establishing and maintaining a good quality and information security management system (QISMS) for MicroSourcing being a fast-growing global outsourcing solutions provider that sees significant growth each year, the kick-off was followed by training and interactive workshops.
Two teams were created for this initiative: the ISO Task Force and the ISO Project Team. The former is composed of senior management who will determine the ISO Project direction, approve ISO deliverables, and assign resources to the Project. On the other hand, the ISO Project Team is composed of representatives of the company’s departments who will be responsible for documenting and auditing the company’s processes and procedures in compliance with the ISO standards. They will likewise undergo a series of training courses to have a deeper understanding of both the ISO 9001 (Quality) and ISO 27001 (Information Security) management system standards.
With full support and cooperation from the management team and employees involved in this initiative, the company aims to be ISO certified by February 2012.

Last October 28, MicroSourcing held the “Halloween Spooktacular Treat or Treat: No Tricks, Just Treats” event at its headquarters in Eastwood City as well as at the Picadilly office in Taguig.
Employees invited their relatives (seven years and below) who all donned brightly colored and sometimes scary costumes. As part of the Halloween tradition, kids roamed around the entire office for the trick and treat in different departments. After filling the bags and buckets with candies and chocolates, everyone proceeded to MS Café for the awarding ceremony which was facilitated by the Human Capital Strategy and Delivery Group.
Eyob Kooijman (son of VP for Operational Excellence Sophie Kooijman) and Yumi Sison (daughter of Business Development Associate Reggie Sison) got the awards for best child “spooktacular” costume.
Meanwhile, members of the Manpower Acquisition Department got the best themed team/department “spooktacular” costume award as they dressed up and performed as the cast of popular TV series Glee.
Other employees also joined the event wearing costumes of famous movie characters such as Harry Potter, Death Eaters, Edward from Twilight, and Sailor Moon. Of course, the event would not be complete without employees who wore masks and dressed up as witches and vampires.
