KMC Solutions, a leading staff leasing and serviced office provider in the Philippines, has boosted its inventory of “plug-and-play” office facilities catering to the robust business process outsourcing (BPO) industry with the opening of a new establishment in SM Aura Office Tower in Taguig last week.

The new serviced office—KMC Solutions’ fourth and one of the largest plug-and-play facilities in the country—offers 20,000 square feet of office space. The new facility currently has 200 seats available for teams ranging between three and 140 employees, the company said in a statement.

“The new business center in SM Aura is not the only new office in KMC Solutions’ pipeline for 2014,” said KMC Solutions managing director Michael McCullough, citing the launch of new offices in V Corporate Center in Makati and Unionbank Plaza in Ortigas.

McCullough said the company’s decision to quickly expand was due to the high demand for serviced offices from the continuously growing BPO sector in the Philippines.

“BPO firms are always in need of fast and cost-effective solutions,” he said. “Plug-and-play facilities fulfill that requirement as they allow businesses to set up and operate within days, instead of having to wait for [up] to 12 months, which is often the case for traditional offices.”

According to company chair Gregory Kittelson said, serviced offices “serve as vehicles for foreign companies” setting up shop in the Philippines.

“By utilizing serviced offices, investors save time and money, reducing risks and allowing them to immediately start operations in a prime office building in a central business district,” Kittelson said.

Aside from offering spacious rooms, KMC Solutions’ new business center is touted to be one of the most technologically advanced in the Philippines. Doris C. Dumlao
