Lionbridge Ranked as One of the World’s Top 50 Global IT and Business Process Outsourcing Service Providers

18,000 Business Leaders Ranked Lionbridge #36 Among More than 1,400 Qualified Vendors in Black Book of Outsourcing Survey

WALTHAM, Mass. - 19 June 2007 - Lionbridge Technologies, Inc., (Nasdaq: LIOX), today announced that it was chosen as one of the top 50 global outsourcing providers in a survey of over 18,000 business leaders by Brown-Wilson Group, authors of “The Black Book of Outsourcing” that ranks the top outsourcing firms globally. More than 1,400 vendors qualified for the ranking. Lionbridge was recognised among the top 50 vendors for its expert software testing as well as its strong management team, rich outsourcing experience, and a growth focus in BPO with onshore, nearshore and offshore options. This builds upon Lionbridge’s ranking as the #1 outsourced testing provider in a report published by Brown-Wilson Group in February 2007.

“This formal recognition places us among the world’s 50 most well-known outsourcing providers and reflects Lionbridge’s long-standing reputation as a trusted partner for our clients’ worldwide outsourcing initiatives,” noted Rory Cowan, CEO and Chairman, Lionbridge. “Reaching the Top 50 for the first time acknowledges the evolution of our three year strategy to develop a global digital backbone, build true multishore service delivery capabilities, and broaden the reach of our in-country teams to 25 countries around the world. This enables Lionbridge to offer our clients a cohesive approach to quickly and efficiently roll out global applications and product offerings, while making strategic use of global resources.”

All companies in the Top 50 Best Managed Outsourcing Vendors report were required to demonstrate consistent strength in four survey areas: human capital performance, C-level commitment, corporate direction, and leadership impact, with each area weighted for significance. A total of 26 criteria were presented for feedback based upon the four survey areas.

In the report, it was found that C-Level commitment is the most crucial area in outsourcing initiatives. Without a strong team of champions at the top of a company, no "best managed" status or management improvement initiative can have long-term success. Also, after the initial savings rush, a major shift in client satisfaction is changing from “cheaper and faster” to “better and more supportive innovations” from their outsourcing partner.

“Lionbridge has a long history as a globalisation services provider and in delivering innovative outsourced solutions for its clients,” said Doug Brown, Brown-Wilson Group. “Their addition to the top 50 list this year is a testament from its clients that reflects exemplary service and their positive customer relationships.”
