IAOP’s Global Outsourcing 100 to Appear in FORTUNE 500 issue of Fortune® Magazine

LaGrangeville, NY – The International Association of Outsourcing Professionals (IAOP) announced today that The 2007 Global Outsourcing 100, its annual ranking of the world’s best service providers, will be unveiled in the upcoming FORTUNE 500 issue of Fortune® magazine. Each company selected for The Global Outsourcing 100 will be recognized with its company name, a statement of its services, and website address. In addition, more than 25 sub-lists based on services provided, industries served, and geography are being created and published by IAOP. To be considered for the list and sub-lists, companies must complete the online application at www.globaloutsourcing100.com by December 7th, 2006.

“It’s an honor to collaborate, once again, on this esteemed program with one of the top business magazines,” says Jag Dalal, world-renowned outsourcing expert and leader of the evaluation team. “Because of the unique approached used in compiling this list, insights will be shared that will not be available elsewhere.”

The application itself consists of 16-questions covering most of the factors a customer would consider in qualifying potential providers. The final rankings are based on weighted average of the judges’ scores in the following four categories: demonstrated competencies; size and growth; management capabilities; and customer references. The issue will hit newsstands in late April.

The deadline to apply is December 7, 2006. To learn more, visit www.globaloutsourcing100.com.
