SAINT HELIER, Jersey, May 11 /PRNewswire/ –

CPA Global has been recognised by the International Association of Outsourcing Professionals (IAOP) as one of the world’s top outsourcing providers.

The IAOP’s 2009 Global Outsourcing 100 rankings of outsourcing providers - including the major business process and IT outsourcing companies - placed CPA Global in 60th place overall, the highest position of any pure-play legal process outsourcing (LPO) provider. CPA Global was also among the top ten of privately owned outsourcing companies, following rigorous analysis from an independent panel of judges on areas including the company’s size, growth, certifications and customer references.

CPA Global’s Executive Vice President, Legal Support Services, Chris Veator, said: “We are delighted to have been recognised as a leader in legal process outsourcing in the IAOP’s Global Outsourcing 100 list. Our high ranking reflects not only the scale and quality of our operations, but also our commitment to delivering excellent service to our clients, who include some of the world’s biggest corporations and law firms. The comprehensive range of services we provide, our stringent quality assurance metrics, strict security controls and the high calibre of our people are also critical factors in CPA Global achieving a leadership position in the LPO market.”

Jagdish Dalal, chairman of the Global Outsourcing 100 judges panel, commented: “Each year the competition to be named to the top 100 companies continues to reach higher levels, as the outsourcing industry continues to grow and mature in many markets. Getting named to The Global Outsourcing 100 is a great recognition, particularly given the strong competition. CPA Global should be proud of achieving excellence in their field.”

In addition to being ranked as one of the world’s leading outsourcing providers, CPA Global was also named as one of the top five companies by industry focus in the pharmaceutical sector and one of the top 20 companies by industry focus in the services and technology sectors in the 2009 Global Outsourcing 100 list.

CPA Global’s inclusion in the IAOP rankings follows its success in the Brown & Wilson Group Black Book of Outsourcing in 2008, where it was recognised as the number one LPO provider for contract and legal document review. CPA Global also ranked first in a number of other Black Book categories around innovation, training, trust, reliability, brand image, and value add.
