EDMONTON, ALBERTA — New Media Capital 2.0 has announced its acquisition of Asiatel Outsourcing Ltd., a Metro Manila-based BPO company, in a 100% share exchange agreement.
This move gives New Media Capital 2.0 an immediate and significant presence in the Philippines, a globally recognized hub for business process outsourcing with access to over a million workers. Meanwhile, Asiatel Outsourcing Ltd. benefits from the acquirer’s financial infrastructure and its stronger international presence.
The deal reinforces the Philippines’s global reputation as one of the premier outsourcing hubs for a full spectrum of outsourcing solutions. It makes locally run BPOs excellent acquisition targets with strong return-on-investment potential.
Strategic Rationale and Market Impact
One of the reasons for the acquisition is Asiatel’s workforce and secure business operations.
The company serves over 100 accounts across the U.S., Australia, Singapore, and the U.K., with its comprehensive services proven to support growth and enhance efficiency. These, paired with the company’s scalable teams, make Asiatel a good partner for acquisition.
If New Media Capital executes this move well, it can increase its chances of becoming a mid-tier global BPO provider for SMEs in the U.K., the U.S., Australia, and Canada.
The acquisition isn’t just an expansion that brings in more workforce for the acquirer. Instead, it’s redefining what New Media Capital is, transforming it into a tech-enabled BPO provider, gaining not only revenue but also market credibility.
What This Means for the Industry
This move makes Philippine BPO companies more attractive to buyouts by firms seeking to scale quickly, especially those that have established themselves with solid delivery models.
Above the acquiring companies’ growth, the success of this deal also creates a clear path for mid-sized Philippine BPO companies to attract international acquisitions. This positions the country in a more prominent global role, with increased investment opportunities.
As for Asiatel Outsourcing, this move transformed the company from a mid-sized local BPO provider into a global-facing delivery center with international expansion opportunities. It makes the company ready to compete with higher-value outsourcing providers.
