The coveted annual survey is an evaluation and compilation of the industry’s top brokerage process service providers.

One of the most comprehensive studies of outsourcing vendors and validated by over 1,400 users around the globe, each year Brown-Wilson Group and Black Book Research conduct a survey of buyer/user organizations’ satisfaction with their outsourcing services providers. Respondents’ assessments of client service and satisfaction are among the primary criteria in the evaluation of ranked providers, which includes 26 management criteria and 18 operational excellence key performance indicators. The results are valued by industry service providers as a benchmarking tool to validate their competitive edge against their peers, and are used extensively by prospective clients and end-users in the market for service providers that can help them cut costs, enhance profitability and streamline operations.

“We are honored to be chosen as the top overall brokerage process service provider for 2008 by The Black Book of Outsourcing,” said John Hogan, President and Chief Operating Officer, Broadridge. “Client satisfaction is a central tenet in our corporate mission and we consistently strive to deliver superior levels of performance and value to our clients’ everyday. We especially value industry recognition that comes from our clients’ evaluations of our offerings and service. We believe this award is a testament to the efforts of our associates worldwide.
