Accenture (NYSE:ACN) has been recognized by independent analyst
firm Gartner, Inc. as a Leader in public cloud infrastructure
managed services. Accenture was placed furthest along the
completeness of vision axis, which assesses market understanding,
market strategy, sales strategy, offering (product) strategy,
vertical/industry strategy, innovation, geographic strategy and
business model.
The Gartner report titled “Magic Quadrant for Public Cloud
Infrastructure Managed Service Providers, Worldwide” – published
for the first time on 2 March 2017 – analyzed 20 vendors that offer
managed services and professional services related to
infrastructure and platform operations for one or more hyperscale
integrated IaaS+PaaS providers.
“Helping our clients embrace cloud to become liquid, scalable
and flexible real-time enterprises is the core of our Cloud First
strategy. We believe being recognized as a leader for public cloud
infrastructure managed services shows that our continued
investments in this strategy are successful,” said Jack Sepple,
senior managing director, Accenture Cloud and Accenture Operations
group technology officer. “We help clients on their Journey to
Cloud throughout the planning, migration and optimization phases of
cloud transformation. Our managed services help clients
continually optimize their cloud estate for maximum results.”
Among the customers that have tapped Accenture along the
entirety of their journey to the cloud is Towergate, one of
Europe’s largest independently owned insurance intermediaries.
Accenture has been working with Towergate since last year on an IT
infrastructure transformation project across its entire business,
to address challenges created by legacy systems and lack of
integration. Towergate is using Accenture’s industry-leading cloud
service capabilities, including the Accenture Cloud Platform, to
accelerate growth and enable front line staff competitiveness by
migrating infrastructure and applications to the public cloud.
“By transforming to the cloud, we now have service-on-demand, as
well as collaboration across all our businesses,” said Gordon
Walters, CIO, Towergate. “We’re working with Accenture to give each
business access to real-time information that allows them to
understand what we as an organization are doing. In short, we’ve
moved to a world where all of our employees are connected; we’re
better able to serve our customers; and can turn our data into
insight to help us to dominate our markets.”
