The Philippine Software Industry Association was first established in 1988. It is involved in promoting the Philippines as the preferred choice for software development services.
The PSIA (formerly Philippine Software Association) has worked with the Philippine government in developing policies to make the Philippines competitive in the software services market worldwide. As a result, Philippines was awarded as the Best Off-Shoring Destination of the Year in 2007 by the National Outsourcing Association (NOA) of the United Kingdom.
Famous quotes containing the words industry and/or association:
“Whatever I may be, I want to be elsewhere than on paper. My art and my industry have been employed in making myself good for something; my studies, in teaching me to do, not to write. I have put all my efforts into forming my life. That is my trade and my work.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“It is not merely the likeness which is precious ... but the association and the sense of nearness involved in the thing ... the fact of the very shadow of the person lying there fixed forever! It is the very sanctification of portraits I think—and it is not at all monstrous in me to say ... that I would rather have such a memorial of one I dearly loved, than the noblest Artist’s work ever produced.”
—Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)
