ATLANTA, August 27, 2013 – Rural Sourcing, the pioneer and an industry leader in the fast growing trend of low cost domestic sourcing today announced that the International Association of Outsourcing Professionals® (IAOP) has selected the company in the Rising Star category for the 2013 Global Outsourcing 100® service provider’s list. The International Association of Outsourcing Professionals® (IAOP®) is in its eighth year of compiling its annual ranking of the world’s best outsourcing service providers and advisors – The Global Outsourcing 100.

The Global Outsourcing 100 and its sub-lists are essential references for companies seeking new and expanded relationships with the best companies in the industry. The lists include companies from around the world that provide the full spectrum of outsourcing services — not just information technology and business process outsourcing, but also facility services, real estate and capital asset management, manufacturing and logistics. They include not only today’s leaders, but tomorrow’s rising stars.

“We are grateful to our clients who have shown their confidence in our capabilities to take on some of their toughest IT challenges and to our colleagues who continue to deliver outstanding service day in and day out,” said Monty P. Hamilton, CEO of Rural Sourcing. “We are also thankful to the IAOP for taking the time to recognize tomorrow’s leaders and disrupters to the status quo.”

“Global competition is at an all time high, which is reflected in this year’s rankings,” said IAOP CEO, Debi Hamill. “This comes at a time when companies that outsource are scrutinizing their providers more closely. The Global Outsourcing 100 is the only guide to help companies research and compare service providers with whom they are considering outsourcing relationships.”

“Rural Sourcing Inc. is honored to be recognized by IAOP for our rapidly growing US business and for our specific service to our clients in the Consumer Goods and Pharmaceutical Industries,” said Ingrid Miller, V.P. of Client Service of RSI. “The rapid revenue and employee growth in our business is a testament to both the under-served market needs for an affordable, reliable onshore outsourcing solution and the value created by all of our talented staff in the U.S.”
