CIB.O is the first ICT Council of the Philippines and was founded in 2001. It was formerly called Cebu Educational Development Foundation for Information Technology (CEDFIT).
At present, CICCT Dean Dr. Gregg Victor Gabison of USJ-R serves as its president. The organization which he leads served as the model of success for the growth of the IT/BPM industry outside of Metro Manila according to CIB.O Managing Director Wilfredo T. Sa-a Jr.
CIB.O played a crucial role in transforming Cebu City and also inspiring the Philippine countryside with the creation of more than 80 ICT Councils all over the country. It is a few months older than the Contact Center Association of the Philippines or CCAP and three (3) years older than the IT Business Process Association of the Philippines or IBPAP. Both CCAP and IBPAP are national industry associations.
