Local infocomm companies NCS Pte Ltd and Emerio Corporation were recognised by the International Association of Outsourcing Professionals (IAOP) as some of the best outsourcing companies in the Global Top 100 Outsourcing Services Providers for 2006. They were the only two Singapore infocomm companies to be recognised by the IAOP.

The IAOP is the global, membership-based organisation aimed at shaping outsourcing as a management practice, as a profession, and as an industry. The Global Outsourcing 100 represents the first-ever listing of the world's top outsourcing service providers by IAOP and is featured in IAOP's website (www.outsourcingprofessional.org).

Mr. Michael F. Corbett, Executive Director, IAOP says that selection to The Global Outsourcing 100 was based on a rigorous application process based on the critical factors for long-term outsourcing success. "As the global standard-setting organisation and advocate for the outsourcing profession, IAOP is pleased to be able to recognise the industry's leading providers with this listing," he added.

Emerio was the only Singapore company in the Rising Stars category. Founder & Chief Executive Mr. Harish Nim said, "This is a strong endorsement for Emerio and further reinforces the fact that its efficient infrastructure, quality processes and data security make Singapore an ideal outsourcing hun for IT services."

NCS came in 32nd in the list of industry leaders. Dr. Chong Yoke Sin, Chief Executive Officer of NCS Group, said, "NCS Group is pleased to be recognised as a global outsourcing leader in the first-ever listing of the world's top outsourcing providers. It shows that Singapore companies can compete with the best in the world. Many companies can claim to be outsourcing providers but customers need to know who the credible providers are and this list will act as a good reference for them."
