This is a repeated recognition for the company for the past few years.
The study recognizes Birlasoft as a company that serves mature global customers through advanced global delivery models, has broad portfolio of service offerings as well as niche leadership, and has demonstrated continuous business excellence.
"We are honored to accept this recognition of our distinctive attributes in the marketplace," said Ravi Kathuria, Head Global Marketing & Alliances for Birlasoft. "Birlasoft has strategically developed domain expertise, acquired companies, and formed alliances to provide successful solutions and enhance return on investment for its clients.

This award recognizes their efforts and celebrates the commitment of the entire team and our partners. I thank Global Services and NeoAdvisory for placing value on commitment and excellence."
"2009 was a tough year for the outsourcing industry. Service providers in the GS100 list are typified by their resilience to weather the economic downturn, the ability to retain market leadership, and the flexibility to play by the changed rules of the industry," said Ed Nair, Editor, Global Services.
"There is a recognition in large companies that outsourcing as a means to reduce costs has had its time; these companies are increasingly looking at service providers being able to make their operations more effective globally and even to transform key areas of their business. The GS100 companies are the ones who are delivering on these fronts and are equipped to demonstrate new forms of value in outsourcing to their clients," says Atul Vashistha, Chairman, NeoAdvisory.
Companies who opted to participate in the survey were asked to share exhaustive information through an online survey done during April & May 2010. The top 100 list and the names in the categories are derived using a scientific research methodology based on over 200 data points.
Birlasoft was rated on its management excellence, thought leadership, innovation capability, marketing excellence, resource profile, risk management measures, HR practices and policies, and several other performance indicators including customer maturity, verticals and geographies represented, sectoral diversity, customer case studies, etc.
A weighted scoring scheme was used to rate each of the above areas based on a scoring scheme designed by a panel from Global Services' and NeoAdvisory's practice experts. The 2010 GS100 List can be accessed online at http://www.globalservicesmedia.com .
