Los Angeles, CA | April 3rd, 2023

Avasant, a leading global management consulting and research firm, has once again received the highest accolade granted by the International Association of Outsourcing Professionals (IAOP). The IAOP Global Outsourcing 100 is the sourcing industry’s most respected independent recognition and 2023 is the 14th consecutive year that Avasant has been awarded.

The Global Outsourcing 100 and its sub-lists are important references for companies seeking new and expanded relationships with the industry’s best companies. The list includes companies worldwide that provide the full spectrum of outsourcing services—not just information technology and business process outsourcing, but also facility services, real estate and capital asset management, manufacturing, and logistics. The IAOP award groups include top-tier industry leaders, advisors, and rising stars.

This year, Avasant’s top 100 position is fortified by a perfect score across all judging categories with added IAOP distinctions for Sustained Excellence and All Star.

“In a year when service providers and advisors navigated new — or more intensified — challenges and disruption, the 2023 Global Outsourcing 100® demonstrated that they could and did rise to the occasion,” said IAOP’s CEO, Debi Hamill. “We are especially proud of these organizations that strived to excel, innovate and pave the way in unprecedented times. Congratulations, Avasant on being included among the very best in the world.”

“Avasant is proud to receive a remarkable rating once again from the International Association of Outsourcing Professionals. In a time where political, economic, and social disruptions are creating challenges in outsourcing functions, Avasant continues to innovate to ensure that standard is never compromised”, said Chairman & CEO of Avasant, Kevin S. Parikh.

Judging is based on a meticulous scoring methodology that includes a review by an independent panel of IAOP members with extensive experience in selecting service providers and advisors for their organizations.

Annually, the IAOP conducts an independent evaluation based on a review of the following:

• Customer references, as independently evaluated by the selected company’s top customers.
• Awards and certifications, as demonstrated through industry recognition and relevant organizational and individual professional certifications.
• Programs for innovation, as demonstrated through specific programs and resulting outcomes that produce new forms of value for customers.
• Corporate social responsibility, as shown through corporate programs and outcomes that address such topics as environmental sustainability, gender equality, and youth education.

The 2023 panel, led by IAOP CEO, Debi Hamill, includes:

• Daniel Beimborn, Professor, Frankfurt School of Finance & Management
• Mary D. Lewis, COP, former Sourcing Manager II, Supply Chain Management, T-Mobile
• Heiko Gewald, Professor, Neu-Ulm University of Applied Sciences
• Mark Zammett, COP, former Senior Director, Globa Security Assessments, CIGNA

“A big thank you and congratulations to the companies named to The 2023 Global Outsourcing 100® for striving to excel, investing in their partnerships and innovating in unprecedented times”, said IAOP CEO, Debi Hamill. “The tenacity and leadership demonstrated in creating robust client experiences is to be applauded.
