Neo Advisory (Formerly neoIT) Announces the Release of Its 2009 Global City Competitiveness Report

PLEASANTON, Calif., Jan. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Neo Advisory announced today that it has released the 2010 version of its much sought-after Global City Competitiveness Report. This report serves as an industry benchmark across the globe and is one of the most frequently downloaded research reports from Neo Advisory. In publication on an annual basis, this report has been published by Neo Advisory since 2005.

"Despite the ongoing economic crisis, the outlook for outsourcing remains optimistic. Organizations continue to adopt outsourcing as a business strategy and an effective optimization and transformation lever to help them mitigate the current financial and competitive challenges. As a consequence of increased adoption of outsourcing, the global sourcing landscape has been undergoing changes and many global locations are evolving to serve specific needs of organizations that embark on their globalization journey or evolve as mature globalizers," says Atul Vashistha, Founder and Managing Partner at Neo Advisory.

"Global sourcing is mainstream. While cost containment will continue to be an important factor in the global sourcing decisions of organizations, other factors such as access to a global talent pool, new market entry, and geographic risk diversification have become increasingly important. The cities covered in this report are by no means an exhaustive set of potential destinations. New destinations are constantly emerging in the global marketplace," says Sandeep Karoor, Managing Director at Neo Advisory.

The report provides its readers a view of the changing landscape across the more established as well as emerging destinations. The report provides insights on considerations and evaluation options as part of any organization's location strategy. The report analyzes a mix of established as well as emerging and nascent outsourcing destinations. The report covers 61 established and emerging cities across 29 countries. While traditional and preferred outsourcing destinations have been the focus of attention for over a decade, this report provides a perspective of many other locations that possess a strong potential to emerge as successful global sourcing destinations in future.

The report covers key insights and emerging themes on the global sourcing landscape:

• Detailed profiles of 61 cities across Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East, and Africa, and Central and Latin America
• Key outsourcing services from each city
• Current and future attractiveness of cities
• Established, emerging, and nascent locations by outsourcing service functions
• Data on annual graduate pool, ITO and BPO workforce for each city
