PricewaterhouseCoopers Outsourcing Advisory Group has ranked sixth in the “full service outsourcing and offshoring advisors” category of the latest Black Book of Outsourcing survey, conducted by the Brown-Wilson Group. The survey aims to identify the 50 best-managed global outsourcing vendors as well as identify industry trends and client-vendor relationships. PricewaterhouseCoopers was the only Big 4 to be mentioned in this esteemed group.

The listing serves to provide buyers of outsourcing and consulting services with an unbiased assessment of the world's leading providers and advisers based on category. The lists are derived from an extensive annual research study which factors in voluntary and anonymous responses from "C" level executives evaluating outsourcing vendors based on four survey areas: C-level commitment, corporate direction, leadership impact, and human capital performance. The 2007 study included over 20,000 responses worldwide.

In the full service outsourcing/offshoring advisors category, these organisations had to have the staff, expertise and resources to deliver consulting advice on any and all stages of business initiatives. According to the survey, in 2007, the full service advisory consultants experienced increased client interest in many of the historically knowledge-based, often industry-specific processes. As clients’ outsourcing advisement needs have evolved with the tide of industry changes, these full service advisors are now assisting clients as they explore evolving areas such as clinical data trial management, market analytics, legal processes, complex supply chain programming, engineering services, pharma co vigilance, and research and development among new outsourcing programs. While these are not always direct revenue items, they are processes much closer to the revenue stream than say processes such as payroll, accounts payable, and data processing.


As a full service advisor, PricewaterhouseCoopers is able to guide our clients throughout the process, from the initial strategy through ongoing management to help our clients achieve their desired results.
