DALLAS, Aug. 24, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Outsourcing Center, the premier source of information on best practices and strategies that produce value in outsourcing, announced today that nominations are now being accepted for the 2007 Outsourcing Excellence Awards.
"Since the awards program was launched in 1997, we have studied annually the best outsourcing relationships worldwide," said Debra Floyd, COO of Outsourcing Center and Awards Program Director. "The winning companies have proven themselves through all facets of outsourcing relationships, including tough challenges and collaborating on creative ideas that yield increased return on investment."
"The awards program assesses the critical information that organizations need to help them understand how to deliver quantifiable business improvements and meet their strategic goals through high-value outsourcing relationships," added Peter Bendor-Samuel, CEO of Everest Group, a leading business advisory firm and parent company for Outsourcing Center.
Winners in the eight categories in the 2007 award program will be recognized for demonstrating how companies leverage successful outsourcing relationships to address their strategic objectives.
For the winners, the awards will include spending an evening on the Forbes Highlander, a 151-foot yacht, enjoying a gourmet dinner under the stars while cruising New York Harbor. The following evening, the winners will receive their awards at the annual elegant, black-tie Awards dinner known as the "Oscars of Outsourcing."
Through articles in Forbes magazine and in Outsourcing Journal, each of the eight winning relationships will earn industry recognition as one of the top outsourcing relationships in the world.
