iGATE (Nasdaq:IGTE), the first Business Outcomes driven integrated Technology and Operations (iTOPS) solutions provider today announced being featured as a 2010 Global Services 100 (GS100) provider for the third year in a row.

The 2010 GS100 list represents companies that serve mature global customers through advanced global delivery models, have broad portfolio of service offerings or niche leadership, and have demonstrated business excellence.

The 5th Annual GS100 study was conducted by Global Services in association with NeoAdvisory, the globalization and sourcing advisory firm.  A scoring scheme designed by a panel from Global Services' and NeoAdvisory's practice experts evaluate companies on four key parameters - Management Excellence, Customer Maturity, Global Delivery Maturity and Breadth of Services Portfolio.

"There is a recognition in large companies that outsourcing as a means to reduce costs has had its time; these companies are increasingly looking at service providers to being able to make their operations more effective globally and even to transform key areas of their business. GS100 companies like iGATE are the ones who are delivering on these fronts and are equipped to demonstrate new forms of value in outsourcing to their clients," says Atul Vashistha, Chairman, NeoAdvisory. 

"Our business-outcomes driven approach is gaining more traction.  Customers are increasingly acknowledging the differentiated offering and the true partnership model we enable," said Phaneesh Murthy, CEO, iGATE.
