He represented Open Look Business Solutions, the Philippine counterpart of 032 Outsourcing which is based in Cebu City. They talked about various elements surrounding the outsourcing industry, especially in the Philippines.
Here are some great takeaways from their discussion:
- How Cebu is progressing as a premier outsourcing location for growing businesses – He was able to witness the growth of Cebu in becoming one of the rising business districts of the Philippines.
- Insightful views on jobs you can outsource
- Ways that niche markets are finding success in offshoring – He explained how they were able to find opportunities in catering to the underserved markets.
- Debunking some misconceptions about the publishing industry – Contrary to popular belief that the publishing industry is a dying industry, they talked about how it is evolving.
- Evidence that the outsourcing model is adapting to the industry’s needs
- Tips on how to find the right people – Having an open mind to the idea that most of the time, the people that you get is not the perfect fit for a certain role but you must look into the potential a person has to become that “perfect fit”.

Mike Obert began his outsourcing career in 2009 while developing offshore publishing solutions for a US-Based Niche Media company out of the Philippines. In 3 short years, Mike noticed a void in the industry and a lack of reliable outsourced options for all publishers, which ignited the vision to create his first Outsourcing firm. 2012 marked the first year of operations, providing Graphic Design & Page Make-up, Photo Editing and Enhancement, and telemarketing for niche magazine publishers across the US.
