The Tshwane BPO Park represents a major opportunity to stimulate socio-economic growth in the Hammanskraal area. The park is poised to become a centre of excellence for BPO in South Africa and will offer operators modern and high-quality integrated contact centre services, providing a one-stop-shop approach for all BPO needs.

Off-shoring (international business) will be a priority and the park will seek to develop niche markets that are not catered for by other South African BPO service providers. These will primarily focus on selected value-added, back-office activities.
