HAMPTON, Va. -- (EON: Enhanced Online News) -- Liberty Source PBC, a flexible onshore business process outsourcing (BPO) model that uniquely harnesses the talent of military spouses, and AOL Inc. (NYSE:AOL), today announced that they have entered into a three-year outsourcing relationship. Under the terms of the agreement, Liberty Source will deliver finance and accounting processes out of its newly opened headquarters at decommissioned Fort Monroe in Hampton, Virginia - the oldest US Army fort in continuous use.

"By delivering processes from an onshore location, Liberty Source drives further efficiencies by eliminating many of the challenges inherent in offshore outsourcing."

AOL represents the flagship client for Liberty Source, which offers companies the first scalable onshore alternative to the traditional offshore BPO model. Liberty Source delivers business processes such as finance and accounting, human resources, and administration for clients seeking a cost-effective and flexible onshore solution. It combines a uniquely productive business model with a compelling, socially conscious mission—providing career and training opportunities to a talented, under-employed pool of dedicated military spouses.

"AOL is an ideal founding client for Liberty Source," said Deborah Kops, Chair and Founder, Liberty Source. "AOL shares our vision about the importance of both the quality of delivery and the quality of the customer experience when outsourcing business processes. What’s more, they share our passion to tap into the abundantly skilled community of military spouses that make our onshore model a competitive alternative to offshore outsourcing."

Cynthia Gallagher, Deputy Controller for AOL adds, "While our decision to enter into any business relationship is predicated upon good business sense, the fact that our partnership with Liberty Source allows us to engage with, and give back, to the military community that has served so selflessly is a benefit that can’t be ignored."
