Summit Shares Lessons from Asia

Business process outsourcing providers – along with their clients -- benefit from our industry's expanding pool of knowledge, technologies and best practices. Professional conferences showcase distinctive approaches and productivity solutions developed in one sector or one geographic region.

This month, a two-day Asia-Pacific Outsourcing Summit focuses on "special opportunities and challenges facing organizations in Asia." Its organizer, the International Association of Outsourcing Professionals, stresses that "outsourcing in Asia is central to the success of any global enterprise in the 21st century." The agenda includes topics we know well, such as "China’s Potential as an Outsourcing Leader" and "Cross-Cultural Knowledge Transfer: When East Meets West."

Because CPI participates in similar events in China and the U.K., our executives are not at the Malaysia summit hosted by an association we belong to. Naturally, we are proud of this latest attention to outsourcing innovation and case studies from our region.

CompuPacific recognized as 'Rising Star' in 5 industry areas
May 15, 2009, News release
 
CompuPacific International is recognized in five "Rising Star" categories in the fifth annual Global Outsourcing 100 rankings, announced recently in New York by the International Association of Outsourcing Professionals (IAOP).
 
CPI is classified among the Best 5 Rising Stars in the Healthcare Industry and Financial Management Services. In addition, it qualifies as one of the Best 10 Rising Stars in China and in the  Financial Services (Insurance) Industry.

Its fifth honor salutes the European division. CPI is among the Best 20 Rising Stars Serving the U.K. market. CompuPacific Europe, Ltd. was created  in January 2008 and is based in Liverpool, U.K.

Rising Star designations go to fast-growing companies that are not among the largest outsourcing providers. CPI also was recognized in 2008, when it ranked 92nd on the global association's main list. This year's overall position just missed the top 100 cutoff.
