Before joining ProBenchmark, Mr. Davies was executive vice president for North America at Compass Management Consulting, where he previously served as managing director for South Europe; head of consulting for the UK & Benelux; and consulting services director for the Compass Group.

"ProBenchmark is an important strategic investment for Alsbridge - and represents the future of benchmarking for us and other users of the tools. With the new services ProBenchmark continues to create and offer, we will leverage Howard's extensive experience and outsourcing knowledge. We are pleased to welcome Howard to our rapidly growing team," commented Ben Trowbridge, CEO of Alsbridge, Inc., a leading outsourcing consultancy and investor in ProBenchmark.

ProBenchmark offers both online benchmarking software-as-a-service (SaaS) and project-based benchmarking consulting services. The revolutionary ProBenchmark Online Market Assessment delivers price benchmarks at a fraction of the cost of expensive consulting engagements. The patent-pending web application utilizes MARQbase™, the massive database of thousands of real-life data points representing hundreds of current outsourcing contracts to deliver accurate market price data for a nearly infinite number of outsourcing scenarios. Unlike subjective, labor-intensive benchmarking services from Accenture, Compass, Deloitte, Equaterra, Gartner, Hackett Group, PricewaterhouseCoopers, and TPI, ProBenchmark's services are data-driven, automated, and repeatable, yielding the most accurate, cost-effective, reliable benchmarks in the industry.
