Nearly 900 global and regional outsourcing providers of varied service offerings were analyzed by customers, employees, contractors and partners for the rankings. The survey was conducted using unaided research. That is, survey recipients were asked to name their top outsourcers, and were not provided with a list of outsourcers from which to select.
Survey respondents judged outsourcers in three main categories: operational excellence, products and services, and overall performance. Eighteen sub-categories were also employed to rank the firms.
"CIBER exemplifies technical leadership, flexibility, reliability, and delivery excellence in the higher education marketplace," said Doug Brown, President of the Brown-Wilson Group and co-author, The Black Book of Outsourcing. "CIBER held first place rankings in 50 percent of our 18 categories, and was in the top five in 94 percent of the categories. Clearly, CIBER knows the higher education market, understands clients' challenges, and builds solutions that exceed their expectations. CIBER has won the faith of the marketplace."
