Enterprise clients rate Accenture highly in
terms of industry cloud expertise and overall value delivery
Accenture (NYSE:ACN) has been positioned as a leader in the
inaugural IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Industry Cloud Professional
Services (doc #CA4052521, June 2016) report. The report assesses
professional services vendors that have leading experience in the
planning, designing and building of industry clouds – in which
end-user companies develop cloud-based platforms and offer their
own capabilities and expertise through the cloud to other end-user
companies in their own industry.
"The industry cloud market is young, yet growing fast, with
dozens of new industry clouds emerging each month across many
industries. We predict that by 2020, more than 1,000 industry
clouds will exist, generating revenue in the tens of billions of
dollars,” noted Eric Newmark, vice president of IDC's Industry
Cloud research “We see the industry cloud market representing one
of the, if not the, largest vertical growth opportunity for
technology vendors and professional services firms through 2025,
and Accenture is very well positioned to continue to be a leader in
this space given their investments and strategies."
Relative to other vendors discussed in the study and based on
feedback from multiple customer references, Accenture was rated
highly in industry cloud expertise and overall value delivery. The
report also highlights that Accenture helped develop a very large
number of industry clouds across 12 different industries, with a
robust footprint of the industry clouds spanning North America,
Europe and Asia.
“We’ve blazed an aggressive innovation and investment trail in
cloud over the past two years to further enhance our cloud
capabilities and help drive digital transformation for our
clients”, said Paul Daugherty, Accenture’s chief technology
officer. “By leveraging our Cloud First agenda, we are helping
enterprises move to and reap the benefits of cloud faster and
supporting their needs to become more nimble and embrace disruption
as opposed to fearing it.”
Accenture has a Cloud First agenda that offers industry-focused
cloud services that enables clients to move to the cloud in order
to transform their businesses in this new era where applications,
infrastructure and business processes are brought together and
delivered As-a-Service. Having worked on more than 20,000 cloud
computing project for clients, including three-quarters of the
Fortune Global 100, Accenture has seen the cloud market steadily
evolve and cloud services become a critical element underpinning
the future innovation and operations of digital businesses.
“Being named a leader of worldwide industry cloud services is a
testament to our commitment to scaling and integrating existing
cloud services and developing new ones to address client
preferences, whatever they may be,” said Jack Sepple, senior
managing director of Cloud at Accenture. “At Accenture, we put the
cloud first—recognizing that cloud is a necessary component for
everything our clients want to do to become digital
businesses—helping companies big or small, and in every vertical,
use targeted and industry-specific cloud services to win and
