KPMG, an international accounting and professional services firm (they’re part of the ”Big 4″ auditing firms alongside Ernst & Young, PriceWaterhouseCoopers, and Deloitte) has just published a report titled “Exploring Global Frontiers”, on emerging BPO destinations. Ho Chi Minh City was listed among cities like Brisbane, Australia and Boise, Idaho as promising alternatives to more traditional locations in India or China.
According to the report, reasons to look to cities in the Asia Pacific region include “[...] younger populations, plenty of government incentives and the lessons learned from the numerous outsourcing centers which already dot the region.”

Mark your calendars for June 15-18,2009. In a little over a month, TPL will be flying out from Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, to Boston, Massachusetts.
We’ll be exhibiting at the Internet Retailer 2009 Conference and Exhibition (IRCE ’09). It’s the largest e-commerce conference in the U.S., with big names like Amazon, Google, Zappos.com, and everyone in between. TPL went to the IRCE in Chicago last year and made a lot of great contacts, and we’re looking to do the same this June.
Of course, since we’ll be in Boston, we’re hoping to catch a Red Sox game at Fenway! (We hear the Sox are on a hot streak.)
We’ll be at booth 225, so make sure to stop by and say hi! Check out where we are:
