Colliers International: IAOP Names Colliers International to 2010 Global Outsourcing 100 List

BOSTON, February 18, 2010 -- Colliers International, the global real estate services firm, today announced its inclusion in The 2010 Global Outsourcing 100® list, which recognizes the world's best outsourcing service providers and advisors. The International Association of Outsourcing Professionals® (IAOP®) has named Colliers as a top commercial real estate service provider since the inception of the ranking, which is now in its fifth year.

Colliers has once again achieved this ranking for its unwavering commitment to clients’ success, depth of experience and proven track record in real estate outsourcing. Selection to The Global Outsourcing 100 stems from a rigorous application process based on the critical factors for long-term outsourcing success, according to IAOP.

"As the economy recovers, partnering with the world’s best outsourcing providers and advisors will be more important than ever," said IAOP Chairman Michael Corbett and chair of the judges’ panel. "The Global Outsourcing 100 helps companies easily identify those partners that will help them emerge as leaders."

Having enjoyed many accolades over the years, this news further supports Colliers' excellence in outsourcing. In 2009, Colliers was cited by Harvard Business Review as a leading global real estate service provider. In previous years, Colliers was a finalist in CoreNet's Global Innovator's Awards, and was named the Corporate Real Estate Partner of the Year at the CoreNet Global Awards. Colliers has also been recognized by the mid-Atlantic chapter of CoreNet with the Service Provider Leadership Award.

"Being named to The Global Outsourcing 100 is a great recognition, particularly given the strong competition, and these companies should be proud of achieving excellence in outsourcing," Corbett said.

"We are thrilled to be included in this prestigious global list of top outsourcing companies, for the fifth year in a row," said Douglas Frye, President and CEO of Colliers International. "As a leading real estate and capital asset management partner, Colliers – and specifically, its corporate solutions professionals – will continue to accelerate the success of corporations around the globe."
