Dallas: October 27th, 2004 – Trowbridge Group (TG), the premier global Sourcing Advisory Firm founded to assist companies in navigating the complete sourcing lifecycle, announced today the launch of an innovative HR BPO division with an emphasis on Enterprise Effectiveness through successful sourcing. As the HR outsourcing market rapidly evolves, an ever-changing set of outsourcing solutions is now available to accelerate enterprise effectiveness. Experienced advisors are now required to sort through the range of HR options available in order to find the provider that can best fit the goals of the enterprise.

“HR Outsourcing is increasingly seen as a key enabler of people and team transformation. Properly defined goals that are supported by innovative outsourcing can drive a company to the next level of enterprise effectiveness,” comments Ben Trowbridge, founding CEO and managing partner of the Trowbridge Group. The HR Outsourcing division will specialize in the efficient use of outsourcing to achieve organizational optimization and best practices that focus on the total impact of HR and Enterprise Effectiveness. HR Outsourcing expert Ed Rankin, who joins TG as an integral part of the executive team and brings a unique mix of HR senior management skills and pragmatic outsourcing knowledge to each client relationship, will head the new division. As a pioneer within the HRO field and formerly a senior HR executive at a variety of companies, Ed will lead the HR Outsourcing team that will shape, architect and evaluate world class outsourcing arrangements for corporate clients. “We believe strategic outsourcing of HR processes and functions should not only help reduce and contain costs, but should also enable our clients to have a better approach to attracting and retaining the most productive workforce possible. The HR function should support the organization’s strategic business objectives. Our Enterprise Effectiveness approach helps ensure our clients have efficient, highly effective HR support,” according to Ed.

The Trowbridge Group provides strategic advice and deep tactical experience from some of the largest BPO and IT contracts in the Americas, Europe and Asia, with a total contract value of over $40 billion.
