DALLAS, Texas – April 28, 2008 – Odyssey OneSource, a Texas-based human resources outsourcing company, was named the #1 overall PEO/ASO in the United States for 2007 by The Black Book of Outsourcing.

First developed in 2004, The Black Book of Outsourcing is widely accepted within the Human Resources/Benefits sector as the single industry measure of unbiased client satisfaction. The Black Book survey is recognized for its process objectivity, with rankings presented without the bias of application fees, judging panels, organizational support charges, association participation, sponsorship requirements, paid advertising and vendor partiality.

“We are honored to be named to such a distinguished list as The Black Book,” says Carl Kleimann, president of Odyssey OneSource. “This recognition supports our mission and vision to deliver dependable and personalized outsourced administrative solutions for employers.”

More than 120,000 individuals, including Fortune 2000 and Inc 500 C-level executives, were invited to participate in the survey that ranked over 100 human resource outsourcing companies.

Outstanding Performance Areas
Companies were judged on 18 performance areas. Odyssey OneSource ranked #1 in eight of these areas – more than any other company on the list. The eight areas included:

1. Vendor Overall Preference/Vertical Industry Recommendations. Organizational structure meets the needs of stakeholders or customers and stakeholder satisfaction is the most important priority. Is the client likely to recommend the PEO/ASO vendor for a Comprehensive HR Process initiative?

2. Training. Outsourcing leadership provides significant and meaningful training opportunities for employees and client staff. Leadership strives to develop technology staff, PEO customer service and HR consultant employees in particular.

3. Trust. Trust in enterprise PEO reputation is important to human resources support services clients, as well as prospects. Client possesses an understanding that their outsourcing organization has the people, processes, and resources to effectively deliver the desired business results, based on its industry reputation and past performance.

4. Deployment and Outsourcing Implementation. Outsourced HR solutions eliminate the excessive buyer supervision over vendor implementations. There is a minimized need for consultant management of deployments due to highly astute vendor staff. Vendor overcomes implementation obstacles and challenges effectively. Technical, organizational, and cultural implementation obstacles are handled professionally and timely. PEO Implementation time exceeds expectations.

5. Integration and Interfaces. Solutions are easily integrated to existing backend systems. Seamless interfaces to legacy applications are performed as required for optimal functioning. Human integration and interface activities are administered precisely. Cross-industry HR expertise is evidenced by execution and orchestration of multiple transaction and purchasing products, services and systems.

6. Reliability. PEO supplier meets agreed terms as evidenced by routine, acceptable service level reporting and industry expectations. Depth and breadth of applications/solutions are acceptable in meeting client needs. Online reliability is maximized and outages/downtimes are minimized. Solid product and outsourcing service capacities are demonstrated consistently. Service levels are consistently met as agreed. Services and support response is maximized by vendor team.

7. Data Security and Backup Services. In order to provide a secure and constantly dependable HR services offerings for corporate product development entities, an outsourcing vendor has to provide the highest level of security and data back-up services. In some cases, you may find the PEO’s service in these two areas superior to the security and back-up system in your own firm/corporation.

8. Best of Breed Technology and Process Improvement. Cross-Industry PEO/HR management and related technology services are considered best in breed. Vendor technology elevates customers via capabilities, equipment, processes, deliverables, professional staff, leadership, quality assurance and innovative initiatives.
