Fiji’s shared services and outsourcing market will now have a greater global presence following the official announcement of Telstra’s acquisition of Digicel’s Pacific operations.
Outsource Fiji Executive Director, Sagufta Janif says a prominent global telco provider like Telstra will enable the industry body to further promote Fiji as an outsourcing destination of choice.
Janif says this sets a precedence for international companies who are looking to open up their shared services, to consider Fiji as a destination.
She says Tesltra is one of the largest global brands in the communications market and they have chosen Fiji not only for our cost competitiveness, but for our highly-talented workforce in the region, and our highly technology-savvy populous.
While welcoming Digicel Pacific in the Telstra family yesterday afternoon, Telstra International CEO, Oliver Camplin-Warner highlighted that they will continue with Digicel’s shared services operations and identify ways to leverage on the capabilities of the Fijians moving forward.
He says Telstra will add to it’s strengths with it’s more than 100 years of experience, building and operating the largest mobile network in Australia, and it’s extensive experience of operating for many decades networks around the world.
Janif adds this move will drive the improvement of the ICT infrastructure in Fiji.
