Patni Computer Systems Ltd., a leading global IT consulting and services provider, announced that it has been ranked as the global leader in engineering services in a research study conducted by Global Services and neoIT. Patni has also been ranked second in the human capital development category and sixth in the Best Performing IT Service Providers in the same study.

The Global Services 100 is a tool for buyers of business and technology services. Judges from Global Services magazine in conjunction with outsourcing experts at neoIT, a consulting firm that specializes in services globalization, identify and evaluate the leading service providers located on four major continents.

Commenting on the award Mr. Mrinal Sattawala, COO, Patni said, "We are very pleased that our product engineering practice has received its due recognition as the global leaders in the engineering services section of this survey. Our Product Engineering business has delivered outstanding growth in the last 2-3 years and we continue to see excellent potential as we go forward."

The evaluation for Global Services 100 was based upon data provided by the service providers and third parties regarding effective operations, service offerings, client relationships and human capital. The methodology employed by the study to arrive at each Top List was based on a rigorous frequency analysis followed by a proprietary weighting system allocated amongst the four major categories. The weighting system considers the client's perspective during the buying process.

Patni has consistently received global recognition in delivering value through innovation in IT to its clients. In a global Forrester survey in 2006, Patni received the highest customer satisfaction rating among Indian offshore supply chain solution providers. The BLACK BOOK OF OUTSOURCING too ranked Patni at #6 in the list of Best Managed Global Outsourcing Vendors for 2006. Patni has also received the 'Frost & Sullivan Customer Service Leadership Award in the IT Services Market for 2006'.
