Epixtar Adds Call Center Location
Monday, May 10, 9:04 am ET
400 Seat Center in Central Philippine City of Dumaguete
MIAMI - May 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Epixtar Corp. (OTC
Bulletin Board: EPXR - News) today announced that its Philippine
subsidiary has signed a letter of intent, subject to final
approval, to lease approximately 2,600 square meters (about
28,000 sq. ft.) of new office space. The future call center
site, to be constructed this year, is anticipated to be ready
for occupancy within 12 months. It is located in the city
of Dumaguete, which is the capital of Negros Oriental, a province
in the Visayan Island region of the country. The developer,
July Development Corporation, will build the three- story
structure according to the specifications provided by Epixtar.
Epixtar believes it is the first call center company to commit
to locating in Dumaguete, a city with three major universities.
The Company has formed an alliance with Foundation University
whereby Epixtar executives will guest lecture at the school's
business college and the University will provide placement
assistance for the Company. When fully staffed, Epixtar will
likely be the largest private sector employer in Dumaguete.
The new facility, once completed, will add an additional
400 contact center seats to the Company's Philippine operations.
There are currently 1,750 seats under development (with 350
completed thus far) at the Company's regional headquarters
in Manila and another 600 (with 250 in operation) in Alabang,
south of Manila, thus bringing to 2,750 the number of seats
currently in development. Additional locations are also being
considered.
"An abundant, well-educated workforce, coupled with
the region's reputation for stability, make Dumaguete an ideal
location for Epixtar's expansion," said Jonathan Smith,
senior vice president and country head for Epixtar. "The
cooperation of the local government and academia has been
an enormous help during the site selection process. We look
forward to a long and prosperous future in Dumaguete, and
throughout the Philippines."
