IAOP Releases The 2008 Global Outsourcing 100 Outsourcing World Summit
The 2008 Global Outsourcing 100, the annual ranking of the world's best outsourcing service providers, was released today by the International Association of Outsourcing Professionals (IAOP).
The names of the top companies were unveiled at the opening day of the association's annual conference, the Outsourcing World Summit®, attended by hundreds of outsourcing professionals from around the globe.
This year's list included 25 new additions to the list who took part in the rigorously judged application process for the first time, showing the heightened level of interest by providers in being named to the list.
IAOP Chairman Michael Corbett called the Global Outsourcing 100, now in its third year, the "definitive go-to resource that companies use to make better informed outsourcing decisions and comparisons of providers."
Honorees represent both established companies and up and comers. Revenue reported by applicants increased 20 percent over the past two years and employment of outsourcing service providers also grew nearly 25 percent during the same period.
"The companies on this year's Global Outsourcing 100 list represent the elite of our field, hailing from every corner of the globe and providing an extensive array of cutting-edge services," he said.
IAOP Managing Director of Thought Leadership Jagdish Dalal, a Certified Outsourcing Professional (COP) and world-renowned outsourcing expert, led the panel. Other judges on the panel are from BASF, American Express, Safeco Insurance, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Booz Allen Hamilton and Quint Wellington Redwood.
"Getting selected to the Global Outsourcing 100 shows these companies came out on top following a rigorous application process and unbiased competition judged by an independent panel of recognized industry leaders in outsourcing," said Dalal.
The rankings of the companies named as well as sublists by industry, services and geography will be released in April.
