OREANDA-NEWS. February 26, 2013. The International Association of Outsourcing Professionals® (IAOP®) published the unranked 2013 Global Outsourcing 100® and World’s Best Outsourcing Advisors lists. IBA Group was selected as one of the world’s best outsourcing service providers in the Leaders category.

The 2013 Global Outsourcing 100 and The World's Best Outsourcing Advisors recognizes the world's best outsourcing service providers and advisors. These rankings are based on applications received and evaluated by an independent judging panel organized by IAOP.

"Global competition is at an all time high, which is reflected in this year's rankings," said IAOP CEO, Debi Hamill. "This comes at a time when companies that outsource are scrutinizing their providers more closely. The Global Outsourcing 100 is the only guide to help companies research and compare service providers with whom they are considering outsourcing relationships."

"As applicants continually raise the bar and as the outsourcing industry continues to grow and mature in many markets, competition is tougher," said Jag Dalal, Managing Director of Thought Leadership, IAOP and chairman of the judges' panel. He added: "Being named to The Global Outsourcing 100 and The World's Best Outsourcing Advisors is a great achievement, particularly given the strong competition, and we are proud to recognize IBA Group for their excellence."

"As 2013 begins to see moderate growth in the economy, choosing the right outsourcing partners will be more important than ever," said IAOP Chairman Michael Corbett. "The Global Outsourcing 100 and the World's Best Outsourcing Advisors lists help companies easily identify partners that will help them emerge as leaders."

IAOP unveiled the unranked list at The 2013 Outsourcing World Summit® held from February 18 to February 20 in Phoenix, Arizona. IBA Group exhibited at the Summit for the first time as a member of IAOP, which the company joined in January, 2013.

The 2013 Global Outsourcing 100 and World's Best Outsourcing Advisors ranked lists will appear in a special advertising feature in FORTUNE® Fortune 500 May 20, 2013 issue, reaching the magazine’s worldwide circulation of over one million and readership in excess of five million.
