KPMG International has moved up to the top spot, leading this year's rankings of The World's Best Outsourcing Advisors by the International Association of Outsourcing Professionals® (IAOP®), a standards-setting and professional advocacy organization. Last year the firm ranked second on the IAOP list, which is comprised of 20 Advisory firms.
"This achievement is important in the context of the Indian market which is seeing a significant increase in the use of Outsourcing and Shared Services as levers to achieve operational excellence and cost optimisation," said Viral Thakker, Head of Shared Services and Outsourcing Advisory practice, KPMG in India. "KPMG is committed to improving the value clients derive from their outsourcing and shared services initiatives and in working with vendors to improve their margins"
To make the list, companies that provide consulting and legal advice to outsourcing buyers and sellers submitted applications covering various criteria, including customer satisfaction, size of revenues and global presence. The rankings were awarded by an independent judging panel organized by the IAOP.
"This is a significant accomplishment and is a result of the strategic investments our member firms have been making to further strengthen our global capabilities in the shared services and outsourcing areas," added Mark A. Goodburn, Global Head of Advisory, KPMG International. "We are honored to be recognized for working with the world's leading organizations to create and protect the sustainable value of their business."
"In today's economy, it is more important than ever for outsourcing end users to be able to easily identify and select the right company for their outsourcing needs," said IAOP Chairman, Michael Corbett. "The Global Outsourcing 100 and The World's Best Outsourcing Advisors lists are essential for companies who are looking for proven leaders and rising stars in the outsourcing industry."
