Alsbridge Inc., today
announced an expansion of its London-based UK operations to meet growing local
demand for sourcing advisory and benchmarking services.
“The UK and Northern Europe market for IT,
network and business process sourcing is one of the most advanced, vibrant and
competitive in the world,” said Homan Haghighi, Director of Alsbridge and head
of the new London office. “The decision to expand our operations here is a mark
of our long-term commitment to deliver insight, innovation and value to clients
in the UK, mainland Europe and the Nordic countries.”
London-based Alsbridge,
Limited is a wholly-owned subsidiary that will operate alongside the already
operational office in Frankfurt. The new entity will leverage extensive
proprietary data sets of global sourcing contracts and provide a full range of
benchmarking and network services, as well as sourcing advisory and vendor
management support to clients
US-based Alsbridge was
founded in 2003 and, prior to today’s announcement, has offered a limited range
of services in the UK via a separate franchise established in 2005.
“IT enterprises and service providers in the
UK and Northern Europe demand high performance, innovation and transformational
change,” said Haghigi. “Alsbridge has a proven consulting methodology based on
global outsourcing data built up over many years. We have the strategic vision,
project tools and operational detail needed to deliver meaningful change while
minimizing risk.”
