“These firms on the Global Outsourcing 100 are leaders who are helping the companies that use their services realize greater value and business flexibility, as well as a lower cost structure that will make them stronger in the long term,” said IAOP Chairman Michael Corbett, who led the judges’ panel.
In the Leaders category of companies with more than $50 million in revenue or 5,000-plus employees, the top 10 players included a mix of companies from the U.S., Europe and Asia providing IT, facility services, customer relationship management, food and refreshments, and other services.
