IT By Design (ITBD), an American company registered with the Board of Investments (BOI), is expanding its presence in the Philippines with the creation of 250 new jobs for Filipinos in the IT space.
“Each additional job created through foreign direct investment [FDI] is crucial and significantly enhances the quality of life for Filipino families. It represents not only economic advancement but also the realization of dreams and the potential for a brighter future. We deeply appreciate the contributions of investors like IT By Design, who fuel our economic growth and provide opportunities for our talented workforce to thrive.” said BOI managing head Ceferino Rodolfo.
ITBD, a unit of US firm IT By Design Inc., specializes in custom business solutions for managed service providers (MSPs). It offers a comprehensive range of services, including technology and infrastructure design, cybersecurity, cloud services and AI-powered talent management solutions.
“Our customers in the US are asking for Filipino talents, which is why we’ve decided to expand our operations in the Philippines. We started here with 15 jobs and are now scaling up to 250. Filipinos possess a high level of technical expertise and adaptability, and the potential talent pool is unlimited. We’re also bringing in our AI experts from the US to build the capability of Filipino cloud engineers and make them even more competitive as demands for IT jobs continue to grow because of AI,” said ITBD chief executive Sunny Kaila.
The company will initially operate with a 100-percent on-site work model, potentially transitioning to a hybrid setup in the future.
The firm will exclusively provide export services to small and medium-sized businesses engaged in MSPs and ICT in the United States. ITBD serves 10 US IT MSPs and aims to attract new clients in similar niche markets by strengthening its tech talent in the Philippines.
The Philippine subsidiary plans to establish a similar facility in Clark, Pampanga, demonstrating their long-term commitment to maximize the potential of IT talent across the Philippines.
