AppLabs Named in 2010 Global Services 100, Now Third Year in a Row

(I-Newswire) August 11, 2010 - Philadelphia, USA; London, UK; Hyderabad, India: AppLabs, the world’s largest software testing and quality management company, announced today that it has been named in the coveted 2010 Global Services 100 (GS100) list for the third straight year. The 5th Annual GS100 study was conducted by Global Services in association with NeoAdvisory, the globalization and sourcing advisory firm.

“Making it to the GS100 lists for three consecutive years is a testament for AppLabs’ dedication to thought leadership and innovation in the testing space, like our proprietary SCORE methodology and Test Center of Excellence”, said Sashi Reddi Founder, Chairman and CEO, AppLabs. “It also underscores AppLabs’ customer successes, winning culture, and entrepreneurial spirit”.

Commenting on the listing, Ed Nair, Editor, Global Services said “2009 was a tough year for the outsourcing industry. Service providers in the GS100 list are typified by their resilience to weather the economic downturn, the ability to retain market leadership, and the flexibility to play by the changed rules of the industry,"

The GS100 model for analysis is based on four primary pillars - management excellence, customer maturity, global delivery maturity, and breadth of services portfolio. Companies that participated in the survey shared exhaustive information through an online survey. The top 100 list is derived using a scientific research methodology based on over 200 data points.

"There is a recognition in large companies that outsourcing as a means to reduce costs has had its time; these companies are increasingly looking at service providers being able to make their operations more effective globally and even to transform key areas of their business. The GS100 companies are the ones who are delivering on these fronts and are equipped to demonstrate new forms of value in outsourcing to their clients," says Atul Vashistha, Chairman, NeoAdvisory.
