New York, May 5, 2009 - DataArt, a high-end software development company with R&D centers in Eastern Europe, was named the world’s top 100 service provider by IAOP for the fourth consecutive year. DataArt was also honored as 2009 Best 20 Company by Services Offered: Research & Development.

IAOP gave the highest possible ranking to DataArt’s achievements and industry recognition, followed by company growth, client references and employee management. IAOP included DataArt in several Honors sub lists, including Best 10 Rising Star by Industry Focus: Financial Services (Banking & Markets) and Entertainment & Media, and Best 20 Rising Star by Regions Served: U.S., Western Europe and UK.

“These companies on the Global Outsourcing 100 list have what it takes to succeed in the new game of outsourcing,” said Michael Corbett, Chairman of the International Association of Outsourcing Professionals.
