We share Olympic spirit and pride
Our home city is especially energetic and vibrant these days, as you know. CPI’s global marketing and administrative base in the Chaoyang District of northeastern Beijing is not far from Olympic Park and the dazzling new National Stadium, nicknamed the Bird’s Nest because exterior steel "twigs" form a massive, curving nest around a 91,000-seat bowl. Naturally, we feel the excitement and honor of hosting athletes, media, dignitaries and other visitors from around the world for the Summer Games that begin Aug. 8.

We look forward to reuniting with business associates and meeting new contacts during events at the American Chamber of Commerce, among other networking centers. But most of all, CompuPacific International employees join others in welcoming next month’s Olympics as an opportunity to showcase Chinese abilities, achievements and aspirations – as noted in our first article summary below.

Images of modern Beijing reflect the type of resources, technology and skills that also make China a premiere business process outsourcing destination. As “champions of BPO” for 10 years, we at CPI embrace Olympic-caliber standards such as continual training, consistent efficiency and maximum dedication. We hope you enjoy watching the Games.

June 30, 2008, Press release

CompuPacific International is designated as one of the top 10 BPO companies in China by the industry’s leading national association. Criteria for companies selected include capability, size, revenue and client satisfaction ratings.

This is the latest in a series of awards for CPI during 2008, its 10th anniversary year. The new recognition was presented June 13 in Beijing by ChinaSourcing Co., Ltd. during an international conference organized by the Ministry of Industry and Information, the Integrated Circuit Promotion Center (CSIP), the China Software Industry Association and the ChinaSourcing Alliance.

At the same 12th International Software China Expo, Xi’an Software Park – the site of CPI’s global production center – was named Best Software Park in China. “These honors are important for us and also for Xi’an as a BPO hot spot,” said Michael Liu, CEO and founder of CPI. “It’s gratifying to rank with BearingPoint, Symbio Group and other leaders listed by ChinaSourcing. Each tribute we earn reflects skill and dedication by our staff on four continents.”

In May, the company was featured in Fortune magazine on a "Global Outsourcing 100" list compiled by the International Association of Outsourcing Professionals. CPI also appears on this year’s Global Services 100 list issued by the neoIT consulting firm and Global Services Media.

CompuPacific provides vertically integrated business and technology support for corporate and government clients in China and around the world. Industries served include health care, finance, manufacturing, marketing, legal services and publishing. Offices are in Beijing, the United Kingdom, Australia and the United States.
