2017 in Review Open Access BPO Most Notable Milestones


As we’re nearly at the end of 2017, Open Access BPO looks back on some of its biggest milestones this year.

It’s been another full year for Open Access BPO. This 2017 presented a host of opportunities for the company to establish an even stronger international presence and serve more brands all over the world.

Here’s a quick look at the multilingual call center’s notable achievements this 2017.

New site in one of the world’s biggest markets

In June 2017, Open Access BPO officially opened a new contact center in Xiamen City, China, primarily for foreign carriers entering the Chinese air transport niche. In addition to Makati and Davao (Philippines) and Taipei (Taiwan), this is the fourth Asian location established by the company.

Aside from airlines, Open Access BPO’s Xiamen site aids businesses in various industries in penetrating the Chinese market, which is one of the biggest in the world. Partnering with the company’s China branch helps make brands’ market entry seamless and quick. That way, they can gain access to around 13 million potential consumers even without a physical location in China.

In addition, Open Access BPO China employs customer support agents who speak Mandarin, Cantonese, Fookien, and other Chinese dialects, allowing new businesses to communicate effectively with their target customers.

Open Access BPO’s expansion to China is part of its mission to fortify its global presence and partner with fast-growing firms all over the world.

Open Access BPO celebrates its 10th year

Starting out as a telemarketing firm in 2007, Open Access BPO marks its 10th anniversary this 2017. From only a handful of employees then, the company now houses around 1,300 staff from various cultures, spread out across four Asian locations.

In its 10th year and beyond, Open Access BPO remains committed to providing world-class multilingual customer support and back office solutions to companies all over the world, enabling them to capture new, diverse markets. Its services are available in 35 Asian, European, and South American languages.

Running its second NYC Marathon

Last November 5, Open Access BPO participated for the second time in the TCS New York City Marathon, one of the biggest and grandest sporting events in the world. This year, it sent four marathoner-employees to run across New York’s boroughs, enabling them to represent the Philippines in a global arena.

The company’s participation in the prestigious event, which is a form of employee engagement, doubles as an initiative to support a cause. This year, it donated $30,000 to Ryan’s Run, a Pennsylvania-based nonprofit organization helping people with disabilities. Ryan’s Run is one of the Silver Charity Partners of the NYC Marathon.

Inclusive corporate cultures aren't built by accident, they are cultivated through continuous dialogue.

We recently brought our global teams together (both onsite at our Makati headquarters and virtually across our Davao, Taipei, and Las Vegas offices) for a dedicated Pride Talk focused on championing allyship and open communication in the workplace.

Led by Psychologist Riyan Portuguez, 𝘽𝙚𝙮𝙤𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙍𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙗𝙤𝙬: 𝘾𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙎𝙖𝙛𝙚 𝙎𝙥𝙖𝙘𝙚𝙨 𝙏𝙝𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝 𝘼𝙡𝙡𝙮𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙥 focused on actionable frameworks to strengthen our culture of openness.

By engaging our cross-border teams in these crucial conversations, we improve workplace collaboration and ensure that every member of Team Open Access feels empowered to contribute authentically.

Cultivating an environment of safety and equality remains one of our highest priorities as a global organization.

Sharing a simple, but meaningful, #PrideMonth message from Open Access Vice President, Joy Sebastian as we continue the celebration with our wider community.

Pride is about belonging, respect, and creating a workplace where everyone feels seen, valued, and supported living their authentic truths. This week is a reminder that inclusion is something we build together, every day, through understanding, openness, and genuine connection.

At #OpenAccess, we stand with our #LGBTQ+ community and reaffirm our commitment to a culture where everyone can show up as their full selves at work and beyond.

Happy Pride!

Open Access BPO recently traded desk time for running shoes, turning Ayala Avenue in Makati City into a wellness zone for its team, families, and friends during the company's Fun Run 2026 on May 24.

Participants took on everything from a high-energy 10K run to a relaxed 1K stroll with their pets.

In an industry where burnout is an identified risk, events like this show what actual support for employee well-being looks like in practice.

Read the complete recap here to see how we champion employee wellness:

Instead of just talking about culture on paper, getting everyone out on the pavement builds the kind of genuine connection that keeps a team strong and motivated.
