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 fourth year. Colliers' 12th place ranking records a rise from the 18th place last year.
Each year, IAOP and FORTUNE ® magazine release their rankings of the Global Outsourcing 100, which include prominent companies from all corners of the business arena that provide a full spectrum of outsourcing services. Colliers was named on this list because of its 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.
"Each year the competition to be named to the top 100 companies continues to reach higher levels, as the outsourcing industry continues to grow and mature in many markets. This year, the judges evaluated the most diverse set of applicants we've ever had, " said Jagdish Dalal, Managing Director, Thought Leadership, IAOP and chairman of the judges' panel.
Having enjoyed many accolades over the years, today's news further supports Colliers' excellence in outsourcing. In 2006, Colliers was a finalist in CoreNet's Global Innovator's
Awards, and in 2004, the company was named the Corporate Real Estate Partner of the Year at the CoreNet Global Awards. Colliers has also been recognised by the mid-Atlantic chapter of CoreNet with the Service Provider Leadership Award.
"To be included within the top 15 firms in this prestigious list of the best global outsourcing companies is a great accomplishment for both our firm and our clients," said Richard Kirke, Managing Director, Hong Kong, Colliers International. "As a leading real estate and capital asset management outsourcing partner, Colliers – and specifically, its corporate services professionals – will continue to excel at and take pride in our partnerships with and service to corporations around the globe."
Colliers' corporate services professionals act as the in-house real estate department for a variety of corporations nationwide, handling the full scope of these companies' commercial real estate needs, from site selection, to lease negotiation, to facility layout and design.
