ProKarma Selected as a Global Service 100 Provider.

 

Ranked as one of the top Emerging Mid-Tier Global ADM Leaders

 

ProKarma, a global IT solutions company, today announced that it has been featured in the Global Services 100, a survey conducted by the Global Services in association with Neo Group, a global advisory firm. The Global Services 100 list represents companies that demonstrate excellence in delivering ITO and BPO services globally using matured models of service delivery. The 100 companies are chosen through a rigorous methodology that evaluates each company across multiple dimensions, measured both quantitatively and qualitatively.

 

"ProKarma’s ranking in this year’s Global Services 100 underscores our global delivery capabilities and established service models," said Vijay Ijju, CTO, ProKarma."“We are honored to be selected and will continue to focus on innovating and delivering exceptional services and solutions to our global customer base."

 

ProKarma provides enterprise solutions, custom application development and IT infrastructure services to more than 150 companies worldwide. The company’s 1,400+ employees deliver technical and domain expertise across multiple platforms and industries to help enterprise companies drive productivity and efficiency and gain the most out of their technology investments.

 

"The global service provider landscape is increasingly getting complex; but buyers are looking at vendors with scale, skill, or both in delivering business outcomes and not cost-savings alone. The companies on the Global Services 100 list have demonstrated their ability to deliver complex solutions and services, manage global customers, and sustain successful financial performance," said Ed Nair, Editor, Global Services.

 

The Global Services 100, now in its seventh year, is a tool for buyers of business and technology services to identify and select the right vendor. The study is done under the guidance of Neo Group, a globalization advisory firm. Service providers opt-in to participate in the study that is conducted online. The GS100 analytical model is based on four key criteria: performance and leadership, quality and maturity of customers, breadth of services offered, and spread of global delivery capabilities.
