National outsourcing association
Encyclopedia
The National Outsourcing Association (NOA) was founded in the United Kingdom
in 1987 by Martyn Hart. The organisation was the first European association to promote effective outsourcing
and it is the parent of the federal European outsourcing association
.
The NOA operates as a not-for-profit trade association and aims to promote best practice in outsourcing, lobbying government and regulators, and provide research and information to companies and managers using outsourcing.
As part of its remit in 2006 the NOA partnered with Outsource magazine
(published by EMP Media), an independent magazine serving the outsourcing
space and the first magazine to do so. Outsource magazine
became the NOA's official partner magazine. Additionally, Outsource
became the first magazine serving the outsourcing
sector to achieve ABC audit in Sep 2011. In 2009 the NOA then launched a dedicated online portal for the sourcing industry, sourcingfocus.com.
