For eight weeks each spring, Brown-Wilson Group -- which authors The Black
Book of Outsourcing (Wiley Publishers) -- surveys outsourcing users and
C-Level officers to gain a buy-side decision-maker perspective on the global
services industry. After a stringent external auditing process, the client
experience responses of nearly 24,000 buyer executives determined the 2008
Black Book of Outsourcing rankings.
Developed in 2004, its annual study is recognized as the single measure as
the only independent industry standard for customer satisfaction in the global
services industry. Over half of the responses are gathered from CXO-Level and
governance respondents.
These top performance suppliers emerge through ranking the fifty highest
among 4,207 global suppliers of various service lines and locations, based on
the collective client experience of 24,910 user respondents in 2008. 1,690
suppliers from 45 countries, who received at least ten verifiable client
ballots, were qualified for the 2008 Black Book 50. Vendors cannot influence
or opt out of the balloting process.
According to Scott Wilson, Partner, Brown-Wilson Group and co-author of

due to its continuous focus on customer satisfaction in ERP and Extended ERP
