IAOP®, the International Association of Outsourcing Professionals®, announced the Global Outsourcing 100™ at the 2010 Outsourcing World Summit® in Florida, USA.

(Lake Buena Vista, Florida, February 15, 2010) Grupo ASSA, the Consulting and Outsourcing Company that helps customers with their Business Process Transformation through Information Technology, today announced that for a second consecutive year it has been selected by IAOP as one of the 100 best outsourcing companies in the world.

In developing The Global Outsourcing 100, IAOP® applies a rigorous selection process led by a panel of independent experts, who evaluate each company’s capacity to deliver global outsourcing services based on four criteria: size and growth, management capabilities, depth and breadth of competencies and customer satisfaction.

The Global Outsourcing 100® list also highlights the 25 dynamic companies that IAOP® considers the year’s “Rising Stars,” which in 2009 and 2010 included Grupo ASSA.

The Global Outsourcing 100™® list was announced today at the 2010 Outsourcing World Summit® in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, and the Global Outsourcing 100® rankings will be published in the special advertising feature produced by IAOP® in the May 3 issue of FORTUNE® magazine.

"Recognition by IAOP® is truly an honor and recognizes Grupo ASSA as a world class company. At the same time, it acknowledges Grupo ASSA’s position as a leading multi-latin IT provider where business process transformation is a key driver in our offering outsourced applications maintenance and support services" commented Roberto Wagmaister, President and CEO of Grupo ASSA.

Currently Grupo ASSA provides outsourced applications maintenance and support services to 40,000 SAP and Oracle-JDEdwards end-users at Global Fortune 500 companies, multi-latin and large local companies in 30 countries, from its delivery centers in Latin America.

This international recognition by IAOP® follows up Grupo ASSA’s Global Services Top 100 and Great Place to Work awards in 2008 and 2009.

“As the economy recovers, partnering with the world’s best outsourcing providers and advisors will be more important than ever” said IAOP Chairman Michael Corbett and chair of the judges’ panel. “The Global Outsourcing 100 and The World’s Best Outsourcing Advisors help companies easily identify those partners that will help them emerge as leaders”.

“Our selection as a Rising Star by the IAOP is a great achievement since it is only awarded to 25 companies in the world! The success of our applications outsourcing model is based on business process transformation approach, excellence in execution, flexibility and personalization. The way that Grupo ASSA delivers its services, blending People, Processes, Applications and Technology is recognized by our clients as our differentiating factor," added Claudio Della Penna, Vice President for Grupo ASSA.

“The Global Outsourcing 100 program continues to grow each year in importance and has become the go-to resource for the industry” said Deborah Hamill, senior managing director global membership of IAOP.
