Companies are ranked according to 18 criteria, including revenue growth, the number of employees and their skills, the number of technical and business certifications, the track record of the management team, and the quality of customer service. The selection process also looked at factors such as education and training of employees and commitment to community development.

"Getting selected for the Global Outsourcing 100 is not easy," said Jag Dalal, managing director, Thought Leadership, IAOP and chairman of the judges' panel. "The application process was rigorous as was the competition among the applicants. The judging was based on a set of measurable standards as well as evaluation by a panel of industry-recognized leaders in outsourcing. Every company that made the list should be proud of its accomplishment. These are the organizations that businesses should carefully consider during their selection and due diligence processes."

"We are honored to once again be named as a global outsourcing leader," said Michael Matthews, chief marketing officer at Amdocs.
