Accenture Positioned as a "Leader" in Inaugural Gartner Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Architecture Consultancies

Accenture (NYSE:ACN) is positioned in the “Leaders” quadrant of
independent analyst firm, Gartner Inc.’s, “Magic Quadrant for
Enterprise Architecture Consultancies1.” Accenture is positioned
the furthest on both the completeness of vision and ability to
execute axes.
To complete the report, Gartner assessed nine vendor-neutral
providers of enterprise architecture services that have more than
one percent of the enterprise architecture market, as defined by
Gartner, across the Americas, Asia Pacific, Europe, the Middle East
and Africa.
Gartner said, “Leaders provide mature offerings that meet market
demand, and they demonstrate the vision to sustain their market
position as requirements evolve. The hallmark of Leaders is that
they focus on and invest in their offerings to the point where they
can affect the market's overall direction. As a result, Leaders are
the vendors to watch as you try to understand how new offerings
might evolve. Leaders typically possess a large, satisfied customer
base (relative to the size of the market) and enjoy high visibility
within the market. Their size and financial strength enable them to
remain viable in a challenging economy. Leaders typically support
broad market requirements. However, they may fail to meet the
specific needs of vertical markets or other more specialized
segments.”
“We think our position in this Gartner Leaders quadrant
underscores Accenture Strategy’s view of the important role of
enterprise architecture in using digital technologies to drive new
opportunities that create business value for our clients,” said
Daniel Benton, managing director, Accenture Technology Strategy.
“It also reflects the breadth and depth of our capabilities which
can provide the foundation for dynamic enterprise architectures
that successful CIOs can use to support C-suite growth
initiatives.”
