Accenture (NYSE: ACN) has been positioned as a Leader in the
first ever IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Managed Cloud Services 2019
Vendor Assessment (Doc # US43251618, July 2019).
In the report, which evaluates 10 service providers across the
full spectrum of clouds and IT applications and infrastructure for
managed public, private, and hybrid cloud services, Accenture was
named a Leader.
“Managed cloud services are becoming a primary means of
enterprises getting critical support by third-party managed SPs to
help them manage their cloud environments,” said David Tapper, vice
president of Outsourcing and Managed Cloud Services at IDC. “The
breadth of its investment along with its strong consulting and
migration capabilities make Accenture a good partner for any
business looking to exploit the opportunities inherent in the
cloud.”
Looking at Accenture’s main strengths, the IDC MarketScape noted
the company’s high utilization rates of Platform-as-a-Service
delivery, investments in centers of excellence, strong financial
growth performance, high client retention, high service
availability, fast response times rates, and robust recovery
services.
The IDC MarketScape also noted that “Accenture’s growth rate in
the managed cloud services surpassed market standards.” Finally,
Accenture was rated highly for “application capabilities in
supporting SAP, Oracle, and Microsoft, along with systems
infrastructure software, that are deployed on public clouds.”
The strength of Accenture’s offering was underlined by highly
positive client feedback sourced by IDC during the writing of the
report. According to the IDC MarketScape, “Client feedback reflects
an overall high satisfaction rating, with strength in providing
technology expertise, possessing industry and/or business process
knowledge, and delivering a full array of security and recovery
capabilities.”
Kishore Durg, senior managing director and Accenture Cloud lead,
commented: “Businesses are increasingly looking to managed cloud
services for business transformation. Accenture’s approach is to
apply the innovation usually seen in public cloud to hybrid
alternatives, helping businesses with powerful automation,
self-service and microservice capabilities. It’s about staying
focused on business outcomes to make an impact within their
organizations. The IDC MarketScape shows that we are on the right
track, and we look forward to building on this strong leadership
position.”
In the IDC Managed CloudView 2018: Executive Summary, which
involved 1,500 respondents across six countries, used to complement
this competitive analysis, Accenture received a higher rating
against rivals in which respondents indicated that they would
recommend Accenture to a friend or colleague.
