The Largest in Business rankings include 50 different categories, created in cooperation with the SME daily and the Finstat company. The key parameter for these rankings was revenue, but in some categories, it was a combination of several criteria (e.g. turnover, number of employees, etc.). Within the financial sector, the ranking was typically based on asset value.

The detailed results are available in the Largest in Business yearbook.
According to the BSC Forum, these companies brought €500 million in employee taxes and levies to the state budget. The biggest one is the American IBM with approximately 5,000 employees. Others of significance include AT&T, Dell, Deutsche Telekom, Henkel, Johnson Controls, and Siemens.
Often, these companies are seen as mere call centres. However, this was only true when these companies first started in Slovakia in the 1990s. Today, they offer more sophisticated services.
For example, people from the Slovak branch of Accenture, for instance, took part in the development of biometric technologies. This helps people who do not have IDs, an estimated one-sixth of the world’s population. Shared service centres work on assignments related to accounting, human resources, and social media.
