Bleum Makes the "Top 10 to Watch in Emerging Asian Markets" in Global Services 100 List

Shanghai, China, March 21, 2007, Bleum, a leading software development firm and provider of offshore development center (ODC) services in China announced today that it has been named to “Top 10 to Watch in Emerging Asian Markets” and also to the annual Global Services 100 list of top outsourcing service providers by CMP Media's Global Services magazine in conjunction with the offshore outsourcing advisory firm neoIT. Global Services and neoIT presented the awards to category winners at the 2007 Global Services Conference in New York City on Jan. 31st, 2007. Bleum has now been named to the Global Services 100 list each of the three years that it has been compiled.

Judges from Global Services magazine and outsourcing experts at neoIT made their evaluation based upon over 250 data points provided by the service providers and third parties regarding effective operations, service offerings, client relationships and human capital. According to Rusty Weston, Editor-in-Chief of Global Services magazine, the Global Services 100 firms were selected because they demonstrate a pattern of market leadership, innovation and outstanding customer service. Rather than rank each company from one to 100, the approach used in this study is intended to provide users a head start in the quest to maintain updated 'short lists' of the leading providers of globally delivered services.

"Being ranked as one of the ' Top 10 to Watch in Emerging Asian Markets' and included in the Global Services 100 list for the third year running is an acknowledgement of the consistent quality we are able to deliver to our customers,” Bleum CEO and founder Eric Rongley commented. “Our commitment to our core values of capability, security and communication allows us to deliver on the factors that matter most to our customers. Because we share the same business culture and speak the same language as our customers, we are able to provide them greater predictability in their business planning processes and a lower total cost of offshore outsourcing.
