Wipro Ltd, which is a global outsourcing, consulting and
information technology company, recently proudly announced that it managed to
find a name for itself amongst the top three in the '2013 Global Outsourcing 100'' list. Surely Wipro is literally ‘applying thoughts’ and I hope it will
continue to do so.
What is IAOP?
The list was compiled by International Association of Outsourcing
Professionals (IAOP) after analyzing the performances of various companies on
the annual basis. IAOP is basically a global organization, which is dedicated
to set the standards of the companies that run their businesses worldwide. It
is also an advocate for the ultimate profession of outsourcing.
Wipro’s improvement
from the last year
Wipro was ranked 7th in the same list for the previous year,
so this year it managed to improve its position by four places, as this year it
has been placed in the 3rd. Wipro is doing exceptionally well
businesses for past few years.
What is ‘Global
Outsourcing 100’ list?
This is the 8th version of the IAOP’s list. In this list it
eventually compiles the annual ranking of the world’s leading outsourcing
advisors and service providers. The list is named as ‘Global Outsourcing 100’, and it includes companies across the whole
world. It is easily understandable that it covers almost the full spectrum of global
outsourcing service providers under its umbrella.
What are the
parameters of the ranking?
The ‘Global Outsourcing 100’ has managed to gather tremendous popularity
in the last seven years. It is an honor to be listed in top 100 even for most
of the leading companies of the world.
The list judges companies on the basis of global presence and customer
experience (to be precise satisfaction). Along with these two most important
parameters, there are a few more like relevant certifications, investments in
the development project especially for the mankind, advanced technology and
processes, industry recognition, trust factor, and last but not the least the
executive leadership of the company.
Wipro’s view on being
included in the top three
Mr. Puneet Chandra, who is currently handling the position of Chief
Marketing Officer at Wipro, expressed his joy on the time of commenting and
announcing on this inclusion in the ranking list. He was very happy indeed, and
he explained Wipro’s modern approach of outsourcing and customer reliability.
The following is an excerpt of what he had actually said in his speech.
"Today’s
rapidly changing market environment is triggering tectonic shifts in technology
trends and customer requirements, and Wipro is constantly looking at solutions
that will help businesses 'differentiate at the front' and 'standardize at the
core'. This prestigious recognition is a testament to our customers’ continued
confidence in our capabilities towards adding value to their business; and our
renewed emphasis on account management, deep domain skills, building targeted
solutions and enhancing customer and employee engagement."
IAOP’s stand on the
list and Wipro’s inclusion in it
IAOP’s Chief Advisor of Thought Leadership Mr. Jag Dalal, who was also
the honorable Chairman of the judges’ panel, said that the competition was much
tougher in 2013. He added that the applicants were trying hard to raise the bar
by adopting various key strategies, and the global outsourcing industry too was
continuously growing at a very heavy rate along with being mature in many
important markets.
He didn’t forget to congratulate Wipro in his speech. Mr. Dalal said, “Being named to The Global Outsourcing 100 and The World’s Best
Outsourcing Advisors is a great achievement, particularly given the strong
competition, and we are proud to recognize Wipro for their excellence."
Conclusion
It is a proud moment for Wipro for sure to be featured in that high
position of this prestigious list. I think now Wipro will target to secure the
pole position in the next year’s ranking, and I hope it will be able to do that
too. It has to be added here that the list was prepared by an independent panel
of judges, which were organized by IAOP itself.
