Supplier Evaluation

In addition to published research, supplier capability profiles and the supplier directory, the Supplier Intelligence practice offers multiple services to buyers of outsourcing and offshoring services at all stages of the transaction life cycle. Our specialization is a focus on suppliers in niche capabilities and geographies that are not commonly available through the top 50 suppliers. 

In addition to buyers of sourcing services, our services have also been used by investment firms for understanding supplier landscapes, and identifying potential investment or acquisition targets.
