Explore MoreWith recent political changes in the U.S., the focus on tariffs has intensified. Many believe tariffs will bring about change by encouraging local production and boosting jobs. But the reality, especially for industries like Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) companies, is far from that ideal. Tariffs, combined with already high labor costs in the U.S., could instead contribute to a new wave of inflation, making it even harder for businesses to stay competitive.
As someone with years of global experience, I’ve seen how such economic policies play out in real time. Let’s break it down with an example that’s easy to relate to:
Take the clothing industry as an example. Tariffs are often designed to pressure manufacturers into setting up factories in the U.S., creating local jobs and avoiding import taxes. However, what actually happens is that these manufacturers find U.S. labor costs too high to justify such a move. Instead, they pass the additional tariff costs directly to consumers by raising prices.
The end result? Inflation. Clothing becomes more expensive, but the local job market doesn’t see the boost it was promised. Consumers feel the pinch, and businesses struggle to maintain their margins in a market with shrinking purchasing power.
The same logic applies to service industries like MSPs and BPOs. Tariffs don’t apply directly to service providers, but the ripple effects of inflation and high labor costs do. In an effort to cut costs, U.S.-based companies might be tempted to keep operations local, hoping to avoid the complexity of offshore outsourcing. But the numbers simply don’t work.
Labor costs in the U.S. remain significantly higher than in countries with skilled talent pools, such as the Philippines. Trying to rely solely on domestic resources often leads to inflated service costs, making it harder for businesses to remain competitive. Inflation further exacerbates the issue by increasing operational expenses across the board. At MotivIT, we provide an alternative: a proven outsourcing model that balances cost efficiency with high-quality service.
What sets us apart is our global service center in the Philippines. Our team operates under strict global standards, delivering the same level of quality and reliability as any top-tier local operation—if not better—at a fraction of the cost. This is the essence of our tagline: “Global Standards, Local Expertise.” We bring best practices from across the globe, tailoring them to meet the specific needs of our clients. This allows businesses to navigate economic challenges like rising costs and inflation without compromising their ability to deliver top-tier services.
Over the years, I’ve worked across markets in the USA, APAC, and China, tackling challenges in different economic landscapes. I’ve learned that the key to staying competitive is flexibility and the willingness to adapt. At MotivIT, we’ve built a platform that embodies those principles, helping businesses thrive in unpredictable markets.
If tariffs, rising costs, or inflation have you concerned, let’s have an honest conversation. MotivIT isn’t about gimmicks or sales tactics—just practical solutions based on real-world experience.
