Houston (April 29, 2009) – EquaTerra, a global business advisory firm, announced today it earned one of the highest rankings on The Global Outsourcing 100™ list of World’s Best Outsourcing Advisors compiled by the International Association of Outsourcing Professionals™ (IAOP™). To make the prestigious list, companies that provide consulting and legal advice to outsourcing buyers and sellers submitted applications covering 18 criteria, including customer satisfaction, size of revenues and global presence. Rankings were awarded by an independent panel of judges comprised of industry experts from both business and academia.

“EquaTerra ranked #2 behind PricewaterhouseCoopers and was the top ranked pure sourcing advisory firm within the overall ‘advisory’ category,” said Mark Toon, CEO of EquaTerra. “Since that is our specific market niche and expertise, I am pleased to have ranked higher than any of our direct competitors. I’m delighted our team of advisors has been so publically recognized for the respect and trust they’ve earned from hundreds of clients worldwide in the six years since we launched the company.”

The Global Outsourcing 100 and the World’s Best Outsourcing Advisors are valuable reference tools for companies seeking to work with the best providers and advisors, according to IAOP Chairman Michael Corbett.  “The companies named on these lists have demonstrated their expertise following a rigorous, independently judged process and represent the tops in the industry.”
