"The Black Book of Outsourcing" has ranked outsourcing service providers
each year since 2004. Written by Doug Brown and Scott Wilson, the book
reveals business strategies and offers insight into the increasingly
important topic of outsourcing. According to
http://www.theblackbookofoutsourcing.com, "This handy guide presents an
intelligent overview of the costs and benefits of outsourcing, its uses and
applications, and the processes used to manage it."
According to Bersin & Associates, outsourcing in the learning industry is
on the rise. In "The Corporate Learning Factbook 2009," they state, "As
companies downsize their training staffs, many are turning to external
providers to fill the resource gaps. Large businesses, in particular, are
outsourcing more functions to third-party providers, as their staffing
numbers have been the hardest hit in 2008."
The report illustrates how organizations are tapping external resources for
their learning needs. "Overall, outsourcing has increased over the past
year in the areas of instruction, LMS administration and operations, and
learner support. Although outsourcing of custom content development has not
increased across the total market, certain segments (including midsize and
large businesses) have increased their outsourcing in this area."
"We are honored to be among such great companies on this list," said Ramesh
Ramani, Founder and CEO of Expertus. "As outsourcing becomes demystified
and more organizations realize the benefits that external providers bring
to the table, it's important that they know who to consult for quality
products and services."
In 2008, Expertus was the recipient of two other distinguished awards:
-- CLO Magazine's Learning in Practice: Excellence In Customer Service
-- Training Industry, Inc.'s 2008 Top 20 Companies in Training
