According to Scott Wilson, Partner, Brown-Wilson Group and co-author of The Black Book of Outsourcing, "Avasant, has continued its penetrating focus on demonstrating domain expertise within and throughout the Business Process Outsourcing landscape. Among those surveyed, Avasant is described as dynamic, entrepreneurial and flexible with an eye towards helping clients navigate the impacts of globalization on a company's financial and operating performance."
The #1 Business Process Outsourcing Advisor designation is based on a number of factors including client satisfaction with senior management direction, advisor impact of outsourcing results, business transformation practices, client relations, and indicators of consultant practice breadth, innovation, and implementation skills.
"Our global clients are constantly looking for innovative ways to drive value and to generate savings, which has led to an explosive growth in the demand for Avasant's BPO services. Our top global ranking is a combination of both our client's success and Avasant's strategic investments in the emerging India and China marketplaces," said Kevin S. Parikh, CEO of Avasant.
"The growth of our future Advisory Services rests on the strength of our innovative culture. Our people are proactive and strive to remain one step ahead of industry trends enabling delivery of greater value to the marketplace and the sourcing community. I am very proud of what our team has accomplished, as demonstrated by the rankings and rigorous research conducted by the Brown-Wilson Group," said Parikh.
"The role and impact of outsourcing advisory firms continues to grow, and Avasant's ranking in BPO and overall Top 10 ranking are a testament to the firm's excellence in outsourcing and superior client service and delivery," said Douglas Brown, president of the Brown-Wilson Group. "Full-Service Advisory Services firms have the unique opportunity to offer end-to-end outsourcing solutions, while focusing on dedicated client support, and Avasant's clients have recognized the firm as a key to their own outsourcing success."
