Named a Leader in the Americas, EMEA and
Asia-Pacific versions of the report reinforcing capabilities of
Accenture Strategy & Consulting
Accenture (NYSE: ACN) has been named as a leader in the IDC
MarketScape: Worldwide Business Consulting Services 2020 Vendor
Assessment report. The IDC MarketScape also named Accenture a
leader in three regional versions of the report covering the
Americas, EMEA and Asia-Pacific.
In the worldwide report, the IDC MarketScape found that
consulting providers are generally perceived as successful at
offering functional insights. Of Accenture specifically, the IDC
MarketScape notes that it “is seen to excel at providing functional
insights and competence,” and that “understanding clients' unique
business needs and meeting the project timeline” is an additional
and differentiating strength.
“As we reshape our business to better respond to our clients’
growing needs for more innovation and agility, we have brought many
of our practices together in one organization to unleash the
transformational talent that was previously dispersed across
Accenture,” said Annette Rippert, group chief executive, Accenture
Strategy & Consulting. “Our positioning as a Leader in this IDC
MarketScape reflects how we deepened our industry and functional
programs, expanded cross-industry connections, and infused a full
spectrum of digital capabilities – including applied intelligence,
data, innovation and human-centered design capabilities – across
all of our offerings to help clients capitalize on disruption and
position for growth.”
Gard Little, vice president of Global Services Markets and
Trends for IDC said: “Accenture continues to be recognized by its
customers as a leader in providing business consulting services.
Given its deep industry knowledge and functional competence,
Accenture is well-positioned to continue to help its clients
address complex, mission-critical issues by working closely with
C-suite executives to help steer and shape their innovation and
transformation agendas.”
The scope of the four reports includes advisory and
implementation services related to management issues across three
main areas: strategy consulting; operational improvement
consulting; and change and organization consulting. Clients
globally rated their providers, in aggregate, best at helping them
with the following business priorities: developing digital products
and services, transforming critical processes, and adapting to
change and becoming more agile.
“Companies are experiencing unprecedented disruption. The
challenges – and opportunities – presented by COVID-19 demand we
reimagine our businesses and take action, not only to weather this
storm, but to emerge stronger. We are excited to work with leaders
embracing this moment to innovate and accelerate their digital
capabilities, and to transform and grow their businesses through
the power of data, analytics and technology,” said Kathleen
O'Reilly, who leads Accenture Strategy. “Across industries, from
strategy to operations, we are thrilled to see this recognition of
Accenture’s diverse talented teams finding innovative ways to
create value for our clients.”
