The leading provider of technology solutions developed from China, Freeborders, Inc., announced today it is ranked in the Rising Stars category in the International Association of Outsourcing Professionals industry wide benchmark for outsourcing excellence.

Judged by an independent panel of experts from the business and academic communities, the 2008 Global Outsourcing 100 list recognizes the world's best outsourcing service providers. IAOP's selection process, unlike many other rankings, takes into account not just company size and growth rates, but also important factors like a firm's ability to create value for its customers, depth and breadth of competencies, and top management talent.

Michael F. Corbett, Chairman, IAOP said: "The companies on this year's Global Outsourcing 100 list represent the elite of our field, hailing from every corner of the globe and providing an extensive array of cutting-edge services". "The Global Outsourcing 100 list has become the definitive go-to resource that companies use to make better informed outsourcing decisions and comparisons of providers, so it is an extremely valuable resource for both the players named on it and the businesses around the world that use outsourcing services."

"We are honored to be ranked in the Rising Stars category and among the top outsourcing providers in the world. While many factors have led to our growth, I believe a key contributor is the distinctive culture at Freeborders, which fosters collaboration internally and externally with our clients, alliance partners, and other services providers. Freeborders is committed to providing repeatable, reliable, high-quality services that help our customers realize the full value of their business", According to Chief Executive Officer of Freeborders, Jean Cholka.
