Accenture (NYSE:ACN) has been recognized as a Leader by IDC in
cloud professional services globally for the fourth consecutive
time, according to the recently published “IDC MarketScape:
Worldwide Cloud Professional Services 2018 Vendor Assessment” (IDC
#US42545318, April 2018) report.
Accenture received high marks from buyers for its growth
strategy execution, pricing flexibility and global presence. The
company also assessed well for its functional/industry offering
strategy, alignment of its pricing model with future market
direction (i.e., willingness to engage in business-outcome based
deals), and its employee strategy.
The report also highlighted Accenture’s “heavy investment to
mature its capabilities, while its strategy continues to focus on
scaling and integrating its existing services, as well as
developing new services, to adapt to buyers' preferences around
industry-specific or horizontal cloud stacks.”
IDC recognized Accenture as an early mover implementing cloud
services for its customers, starting almost 10 years ago, and that
Accenture continues to benefit from it today.
“Consider Accenture when you are looking for end-to-end cloud
solutions that include not only innovative strategy and design but
also the enablement of underlying cloud technology,” said Gard
Little, research director of Global Services Markets and Trends at
IDC. “Accenture’s strong domain knowledge, industry cloud offers,
and breadth of technology services that span from consulting to
managed services can fulfill cloud technology implementation needs
at a global scale.”
Jack Sepple, senior managing director of Accenture Cloud and
group technology officer for Accenture Operations, added, “For
nearly a decade, Accenture has invested in the right people,
process and technology to deliver unmatched cloud expertise. IDC’s
recognition validates that our investments are aligned with what
clients need in their journey to cloud plan. Most importantly,
Accenture is primed to help clients leverage the cloud for
intelligent operations in order to compete today and well into the
future.”
Paul Daugherty, chief technology & innovation officer at
Accenture, noted, “Our Cloud First agenda is rooted in helping our
clients embrace the full potential of the cloud to meet emerging
business and technology challenges while accelerating digital
transformation. Our placement in this report is a testament to our
industry leading cloud capabilities and the work we do every day to
drive value across the enterprise.”
The report evaluated vendors using a comprehensive framework,
incorporating feedback from more than 100 cloud professional
services buyers. Each vendor was placed in one of four categories
based on current marketplace success and anticipated ascendancy:
Leaders, Major Players, Contenders and Participants.
