IAOP Releases The 2015 Global Outsourcing 100 and World’s Best Outsourcing Advisors

POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. - Feb. 16, 2015 - PRLog -- IAOP® (http://www.iaop.org/) today announced its annual Global Outsourcing 100® and World’s Best Outsourcing Advisors lists. The lists were released at the opening day of IAOP’s 2015 Outsourcing World Summit, at the JW Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge, in Phoenix, Arizona.

The outsourcing service providers named to the tenth annual listing of Global Outsourcing 100 includes companies from around the world providing the full spectrum of outsourcing services.


In its tenth year, there are several changes:

-> an expanded focus on innovation and corporate social responsibility (CSR) – areas customers say are increasingly central to their outsourcing decisions
-> a showcasing of the best companies in each of four judging categories: size and growth; delivery excellence; programs for innovation; and CSR
-> alphabetical instead of ranked lists making it both easier to find companies by name and placing greater emphasis on the merit required to make the list as opposed to relative ranking among these top companies

The association recognized the companies named to the lists at its 18^th annual summit that brings together hundreds of outsourcing customers, advisors and providers from around the globe to share strategies for success in today’s economy.

“Buyers understand there are hundreds of qualified service providers and advisors out there, but what they really need to understand now is what makes each exceptional,” said IAOP CEO, Debi Hamill. “The new Global Outsourcing 100 and World’s Best Advisors have done just that and we’re proud to recognize these organizations.”

The official lists will be premiered in a special advertising section on outsourcing in the 2nd Quarter 2015 FORTUNE 500 issue of Fortune magazine, on stands June 8, 2015.  All companies included on the lists will have demonstrated their global excellence; half or full "stars" will be awarded for all companies distinguishing themselves in one or more judging category, with the highest rated of those receiving "full stars."

“The ten-year milestone made it the perfect time to expand and build upon the Global Outsourcing 100’s growing recognition and value," said Michael Corbett, IAOP Chairman. “We’ve done that with a greater emphasis on making it easier to find companies and the excellence required to make the list. We’re please to once again recognize the field's top outsourcing providers and advisors at the 2015 Outsourcing World Summit and in FORTUNE magazine."
