9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the step of classifying the plurality of suppliers comprises the steps of:

a. listing the classified suppliers; and

b. displaying the listed suppliers on a user interface.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein a higher rank is provided to a supplier with a higher score in supplier scorecards.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein a higher rank is provided to a supplier engaged in greater number of activities.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of suppliers is ranked based on business volume.

13. A method for automatically analyzing outsourcing of one or more activities of services to a plurality of suppliers, the method comprising the steps of:

a. retrieving values for a plurality of parameters from a database, wherein the plurality of parameters are associated with the one or more activities and the plurality of suppliers;

b. scoring the one or more activities to generate scores based on a predetermined rule set for the retrieved values;

c. generating an activity scorecard, the activity scorecard being based on the generated scores;

d. scoring the plurality of suppliers to generate scores based on the predetermined rule set for the retrieved values;

e. generating supplier scorecards, the supplier scorecards is based on the generated scores;

f. calculating an index based on the activity scorecard and the supplier scorecards

wherein the index is a ratio of an average score of a supplier for an activity to complexity in execution of the activity, the complexity in execution of the activity increasing with increase in a score for the activity in an activity scorecard;

g. ranking the plurality of suppliers based on the index, the activity scorecard and the supplier scorecards;

h. classifying the plurality of suppliers based on the ranks;

i. listing the classified suppliers; and

j. displaying the listed suppliers on a user interface,

wherein the steps of the method are performed by a computer system including a microprocessor.

14. A computer implemented system comprising a microprocessor for automatically analyzing outsourcing of a one or more activities of services to a plurality of suppliers, the computer implemented system comprising:

a. a database for storing values for a plurality of parameters, the plurality of parameters being associated with the one or more activities and the plurality of suppliers;

b. a scoring module configured for scoring the one or more activities and the plurality of suppliers based on the values for the plurality of parameters to generate scores;

c. a calculating module configured for calculating an index based on the generated scores from the scoring module

wherein the index is a ratio of an average score of a supplier for an activity to complexity in execution of the activity, the complexity in execution of the activity increasing with increase in a score for the activity in an activity scorecard;

d. a ranking module configured for ranking the plurality of suppliers based on the index; and

e. a classifying module configured for classifying, listing and displaying the plurality of suppliers on a user interface.

15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the scoring module generates scorecards based on the generated scores.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the scorecard is an activity scorecard.

17. The system of claim 15 , wherein the scorecard is a supplier scorecard.

18.
