CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Smart Cube, a leading global business and investment research services firm, today announced that it has been named in The Black Book of Outsourcing's prestigious 2010 "50 Best Managed Global Outsourcing Vendors" list – specifically placing in the Top 3 firms worldwide.

The Smart Cube’s Top 3 ranking represents an improvement of 36 places from its ranking last year, placing it ahead of several notable industry giants, across a host of parameters including Financial Benefits, Risk Mitigation, Partnership Approach, Problem Resolution, Corporate Reputation and Skills and Resources.

The BBO Rankings were strictly based on responses from client surveys of 2,751 global outsourcing suppliers of various service lines and locations. Vendors can neither influence nor opt out of the balloting process. Developed in 2004, the study is recognized as the only independent industry standard for customer satisfaction in the global services industry.

Eamonn Kennedy, Black Book of Outsourcing Research Director at Datamonitor, comments: “Such a high ranking in Black Book of Outsourcing is very prestigious. Companies that make it into our rankings do so not because a vendor makes a lot of unsubstantiated claims but because their customers value the service they’ve received.”

“Achieving the #3 ranking in the survey is an exciting achievement for our firm and testament to both the value that our work has delivered to our clients as well as the quality of our team and their ability to realize this value,” said Omer Abdullah, Managing Director, The Smart Cube. “Continuing to provide excellent Client Service is an achievement and our core differentiator – one that we plan to continue building on for years to come,” Gautam Singh, Managing Director, The Smart Cube added. “All of this is founded on our talented group of people and their commitment to excellence. Without them, this ranking would not be possible.”
