Segment overview: Jerry Durant serves as the lead strategy development and engagement service leader for Red Core Solutions. In this capacity he is responsible for corporate development, operations maturity development and strategic service delivery serving as a limited partner. What sets Red Core Solutions apart from other outsourcing companies in the Philippines is that they are not just a programing shop, they are actually analysts and as a result of that they are able to not only look at the technology side of the house but also look at the business side as well. In this way they are able to provide a more unified solution not simply just building what somebody wants and then having them try and figure out how it’s going to fit in to their upcoming or desired market place. They have internal certification programs that every staff must go through so that they are not only rebuilding their capabilities for themselves but also they’ll be able to represent them in a very positive way to ensure clients that they are not just getting somebody, they are getting somebody that’s qualified. Red Core Solutions deal with technology, they utilize technology as the backbone to support sound business process. According to Jerry, companies that are actually looking for outsourcing used to look for labor but now they’ve been looking for positive value generation and that is where they fit the bill quite nicely.
