The report evaluated Accenture and 12 other companies that

“Our leadership position in this report again this year
recognizes Accenture’s position at the intersection of business and
technology. Our deep domain expertise, ability to deliver
innovative, industry specific solutions and end-to-end service
capabilities, set us apart,” said Andrew Smart, managing director,

strategic acquisitions, talent development and industry solutions
to help our clients compete in today’s digital world. We are
excited by the work we are delivering with oil and gas companies,
to help them transform core operations and create more agile,
digitally enabled businesses.”
Accenture was recognized as being ahead of the curve in
developing solutions for the oil and gas industry that are well
conceived and start from a business standpoint. The report notes
Accenture’s differentiators include more than 40 years servicing
the oil and gas industry and the deep domain expertise combined
with technical skills needed to deploy high-impact solutions across
the hydrocarbon value chain.
“IDC Energy Insights believes that clients are demanding deep
industry expertise combined with technical capabilities from their
service vendors especially for complicated and high-impact
initiatives. These kinds of skills helped to fuel Accenture to hit

performance,” said Chris Niven, Research Director, IDC Energy
Insights Oil & Gas.
In addition to interviews with multiple major and large oil and
gas companies, oilfield services, and manufacturers of oilfield
