TPI Founder Inducted into International Association of Outsourcing Professionals' Hall of Fame

TPI, the largest sourcing data and advisory firm in the world and a unit of Information Services Group, Inc. (ISG) (NASDAQ:III), announced today that Dennis McGuire, TPI founder and chairman emeritus, was inducted into the International Association of Outsourcing Professionals' (IAOP's) Outsourcing Hall of Fame. McGuire, who founded the sourcing advisory industry with the creation of TPI in 1989, received this honor during the 2008 Outsourcing World Summit in Orlando, Florida on February 19, 2008 to recognize his many impressive achievements throughout his career.

McGuire's induction into the Outsourcing Hall of Fame serves as acknowledgment of his integral leadership role in the growth and evolution of the sourcing industry. From its inception, TPI has been the global market leader in sourcing advisory services, collaborating with clients on sourcing transactions and helping organizations optimize their business operations through the best combination of internal service optimization, offshoring, shared services and outsourcing. Due to his expertise, McGuire is a frequent speaker at industry conferences, customer events and service provider forums.

In addition to his business accomplishments, McGuire has exemplified a strong commitment to non-profit organizations. He is currently on the board for Ummeed, an organization that helps children with developmental disabilities in India and is a trustee for the Star of Hope Mission homeless shelter, which strives to meet the needs of homeless men, women and children in Houston, Texas.

The Outsourcing Hall of Fame is one of the most prestigious awards available to individuals working in the outsourcing field. The award recognizes individuals for their contribution to the outsourcing industry overall as well as their contribution to society through outsourcing. Along with McGuire, executives from Infosys and General Motors rounded out the list of 2008 inductees.

"It is a true privilege to be recognized by the IAOP with this induction into its Hall of Fame," said Dennis McGuire. "It's equally meaningful to be associated with other such distinguished inductees - all tremendous innovators and leaders in this field. Nearly two decades ago, I founded TPI on the principle of providing objective expertise to Global 1000 companies seeking to make sustained improvements in their operations through sourcing-related initiatives. Today, most large companies in all parts of the world strategically consider the delivery of their IT-enabled services throughout their business functions. Whether the delivery model is a shared service, multi-sourcing, offshoring or outsourcing - their sourcing strategy, and the data and knowledge it requires, is a critical tool in helping them maintain an edge in today's competitive environment. Having been part of this evolution is truly exciting."

"These leaders have been providing, using and advising on outsourcing services since the inception of the industry," said IAOP Chairman Michael Corbett. "Through their management practice and leadership, these individuals and their organizations significantly contribute to business and society at large. They represent the very best of our industry and we are honored to induct them into the prestigious Outsourcing Hall of Fame, which is the only one of its kind in the industry."

Nominated by peers in the industry, recipients were selected by the IAOP Advocacy and Outreach committee and will be featured in a special advertising feature in Fortune Magazine this spring. Past inductees into the Outsourcing Hall of Fame include Paul Spence, CEO of Outsourcing Services at Capgemini; Filippo Passerini, Global Services Officer and CIO, Procter & Gamble; and Kevin Campbell, Group Chief Executive, Outsourcing for Accenture.
