SAN RAMON, Calif., March 11 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Achievo(R) Corporation, a software development outsourcing and information technology services provider, today announced its inclusion in the 2009 Global Services 100 list, Global Service Magazine's annual measurement of the state of globalization and the outsourcing industry. According to Global Services, the Global 100 list represents companies who have the maturity and capability to lead the next wave of services globalization. The Global Services 100 study also identifies leaders in 11 sub categories. Achievo was further recognized as a leader in the category of emerging Asian markets.
"The Global Services 100 is like an index of globalization in the services industry," said Ed Nair, editor of Global Services. "This year's list comprises companies headquartered in 19 countries, with customer locations in over 30 countries, and service delivery locations in 31 countries. A company that figures in this list bears testimony to the fact that it can serve global customers from multiple locations."
"We're thrilled to add the Global 100 to our growing list of industry recognitions," said Bud Mathaisel, chief operating officer for North America and Europe, of Achievo Corporation. "In these difficult economic times, more companies are turning to offshore outsourcing to make the most of their IT budgets. The Global 100 list provides customers with a valuable means to ensure the credibility of offshore IT service providers."
The Global Services 100 ranking is based on a scientific methodology that measures size (including revenue, employee strength, and geographies coverage), customer base (including testimonials, references, and average contract size), and competencies (including range of offerings, delivery capability, quality initiatives, and vertical industries serviced). Factors such as attrition rate, training, and employee retention programs also figure into the methodology, which was designed by a panel from Global Services and practice experts from neoIT, an independent consulting firm.
