The rise of new outsourcing locations is the fastest
changing dynamic in the global services industry.
Through the year we have been featuring reports on the
emergence of various locations, hosting webinars on the
potential and prospects of various regions, and conducting
surveys on the emergence of new locations.
The Global Services Destinations Compendium 2010 will
be a one-stop resource that will bring together all the
relevant content related to destinations into one easily
referable compilation that will be a research resource for
buyers of services, service providers and the entire
ecosystem.
The centerpiece of the compendium is the annual research
on the Top 100 Emerging Outsourcing Cities research by
Tholons and Global Services, done annually since 2006.
The report is the most authoritative one of destinations
because of its research rigor, actionable insights, and
expanding coverage.
