Virtusa Corporation (NASDAQ: VRTU), a global IT services company that offers a broad spectrum of business consulting and outsourcing services, today announced that the International Association of Outsourcing Professionals (IAOP) has named it a Best 10 leader for Entertainment and Media, a sub-list of the 2010 Global Outsourcing 100 list.
