China's ODC (Offshore Development Center) Experts, has been named to The Global Outsourcing 100 list for the third consecutive year. The list is compiled by the International Association of Outsourcing Professionals (IAOP) and was made public at the 2008 Outsourcing World Summit in Orlando, Florida.
Bleum CEO and founder Eric Rongley commented, "Being selected again as a rising star by IAOP is a great honor and validates Bleum's excellence in providing ODC services to Global customers from our development centers in China. Bleum has pioneered an operational model designed to achieve levels of customer satisfaction rivaling the best firms in India by providing the excellence in execution and operational transparency that customers in the West demand."
To produce the Global Outsourcing 100, IAOP has developed a rigorous selection process ranking vendors on four key criteria: size and growth, management capabilities, relevant certifications, and customer satisfaction.
High levels of customer satisfaction are achieved by Bleum's focus on cultural compatibility. This starts with transparency in managing a customer's ODC to best align with customer needs and prevent the surprises and missed commitments that typify the outsourcing industry. More importantly, Bleum has instituted an English-Only work environment that enables teams to improve their communication abilities quickly through immersion. By putting the customer's language as a top priority in the company Bleum ODC's are able to deliver an ease of collaboration previously thought unattainable in China.
