The Global Sourcing 100, produced annually by the International Association of Outsourcing Professionals (IAOP), is devoted to featuring the best of today's leading outsourcing service providers and tomorrow's rising stars. Companies were judged as the world’s best outsourcing service providers and advisors globally. Relative rankings, selection process details and company strengths were featured in a special advertising section produced by IAOP in the May 23, 2011 Fortune 500 issue of FORTUNE® magazine. Companies were judged on four critical characteristics: size and growth; customer references; organizational competencies; and management capabilities.

Companies included in The Global Services 100 are chosen through a rigorous methodology that evaluates each company across multiple dimensions, measured both quantitatively and qualitatively. It is neither a study of 100 largest companies nor a survey aimed at choosing the hundred best companies based on financial performance. The study presents a complete view of the dynamics of the most significant segments that make up the IT and business process outsourcing industry.
