Stream Named to the 2010 Global Services 100


Recognized in Annual Industry Listing of World’s Best Outsourcing Service Providers

BOSTON, MA. - August 16, 2010 - Stream Global Services, Inc. (NYSE AMEX: SGS), a premium, global business process outsource (BPO) service provider specializing in customer relationship management services for Fortune 1000 companies, today announced that it has been named to the 2010 Global Services 100 (GS100) list, as well as to the Top 10 Call Center and Customer Management Vendors and the Top 20 BPO Vendors lists.

Conducted annually by Global Services, the 2010 GS100 and corresponding category lists represent companies that serve mature global customers through advanced global delivery models, have a broad portfolio of service offerings or niche leadership, and have demonstrated business excellence. The 5th Annual GS100 study was conducted by Global Services in association with NeoAdvisory, a globalization and sourcing advisory firm.

"We consider it a great honor and accomplishment to be named once again to the GS100 and be recognized among our peers as a leading provider of BPO services," said Scott Murray, Stream's Chairman and CEO. "To be cited as a leader in the outsourcing industry truly underscores our mission to continuously provide innovative service solutions to our clients that create maximum value for their customers."

According to Global Services, the GS100 model for analysis is based on four primary pillars:

  • Management Excellence (includes revenue, growth, profitability, expansion, M&A, headcount, thought leadership, innovation capability, marketing excellence, leadership quality, resource profile, risk management measures, HR practices and policies, and several other performance indicators)
  • Customer Maturity (paying customers, new customers, verticals represented, geographies represented, sectoral diversity, contract sizes, customer case studies, complexity of projects, marquee clients, important wins, etc.)
  • Global Delivery Maturity (global delivery footprint, type of work done, expansions, headcounts, growth in headcounts)
  • Breadth of Services Portfolio (breadth of capabilities and service offerings across ITO and BPO, domain expertise across verticals, engagement models, vendor management practices, new capabilities and services launched, category leadership, ability to serve niche markets, etc.)

A weighted scoring scheme was used to rate each of the above areas based on a scoring scheme designed by a panel of practice experts from Global Services and NeoAdvisory.

"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," said Atul Vashistha, Chairman, NeoAdvisory.
