This program for the Philippine software industry consists of 21 quantifiable action items encompassed in five action areas:

1.  Grow the domestic market;   2.  Increase software exports;   3.  Develop more skilled software development professionals;   4.  Build the infrastructure for industry growth;   5.  Improve intellectual property compliance

INDUSTRY PERFORMANCE As the outsourcing phenomenon continues to grow, companies in the US, Europe and Japan have been seeking not only lower cost services but also providers of value and quality. The Philippines has become one of the preferred countries from which to acquire these services. In 2005, export revenues from software development amounted to $200M (an approximate 36% year-end growth) and software developers are growing in terms of headcount. Currently, the Philippines has over 28,000 software developers in the country.
