Stefanini IT Solutions Named First in Latin America, according to Black Book of Outsourcing

Positioning in the most important company guide in the IT industry reinforces the company's growing presence in the United States

SAO PAULO, December 7 - Stefanini IT Solutions (www.stefanini.com), one of the most important IT
consultancies in the world, was named first in the list of the most important
outsourcing companies in Latin America, according to the Black Book of
Outsourcing study. "Leading the companies in Latin America, Stefanini's
positioning reinforces a commitment to continue growing through the offering
of high quality services to its customers in the United States and other
regions of the world," said Marco Stefanini, founder and president of the
consultancy.

The Black Book of Outsourcing, part of Datamonitor Group, is a globally
recognized annual study compiled by the Brown-Wilson Group that evaluates the
cost x benefit of outsourcing processes, based on answers to questionnaires
distributed among more than 26,000 executives worldwide.

With a presence in 16 countries, Stefanini placed first, achieving the
highest score in an evaluation of 31 leadership and management criteria and
18 performance indicators. The study is based on customer experience, of
which more than 600 are Latin American, and include formation, extent of
services offered, scalability, reliability and price flexibility.

According to Antonio Moreira, Stefanini's director for North America,
being at the top of the list validates the quality of services that Stefanini
has been providing its customers, both in Latin America and throughout all of
North America, through Nearshore Delivery Centers. Moreira said: "The report
also points to Latin America as an important destination for North American
companies that are intensely seeking viable cost-effective alternatives
outside of the Asian region."

In this context, the 2009 report also includes information on Latin
America's growing position as a destination for IT outsourcing for the North
American market and identifies several favorable features, such as time zone,
variety of linguistic abilities, qualified labor, and free trade agreements
with the United States, in addition to an intense effort to make labor laws
more flexible. The survey also concluded that North American companies are
among the most satisfied with the outsourced services from the Latin American
region.

"Latin America is gradually moving up into the top IT outsourcing
positions, and the study points to leadership as the cause. Stefanini IT
Solutions is a leader in the reliable, scalable and cost-effective supply of
outsourcing solutions", concludes Scott Wilson, a partner of Brown-Wilson
Group and co-author of the Black Book of Outsourcing.
