For the Digital Services report, Everest Group researched 18
systems integrators with digital portfolios, including analytics,
interactive marketing, mobility, cloud and Internet of Things
capabilities, amongst others. The report assessed service
offerings, investments, design studios and innovation as well as
ecosystems, focusing on four key areas: performance, experience,
ability and knowledge (PEAK). Service providers were then
positioned on the PEAK Matrix™ based on the evaluation of two key
dimensions: market success and delivery capability.
“Enterprises are facing intensifying challenges across
industries and markets, and are leveraging digital technologies to
not only tackle them, but to stay ahead of the competition, both
current and potential,” said Chirajeet Sengupta, Everest Group.
“Accenture has used its industry-focused consulting heritage to
grow its lead in the digital services space, capitalizing on its
global scale and broad service portfolio to tackle clients’ core
business challenges, and to drive their digital transformation
efforts. Through acquisitions such as Fjord and subsequent organic
and inorganic growth, Accenture has provided integrated and
holistic offerings to help clients take advantage of the
opportunities presented by digital disruption.”
Supporting Accenture’s Leader position and Star Performer title,
the report emphasizes that Accenture Digital supports every phase
of an enterprise’s digital journey, from developing digital
strategies to implementing digital technologies and running digital
processes. With a global network of over 30 design studios and a
clear focus on innovation, Accenture is also recognized for its
growing base of design talent globally, and the inorganic expansion
of its digital service portfolio.
“In the last six months alone Accenture has announced the
acquisition of five digital service companies1,” said Mike
Sutcliff, group chief executive of Accenture Digital. “Multiple
advanced technologies are coming of age at the same time – from IoT
to Blockchain to Artificial Intelligence –and our aggressive
investment in both new and existing talent means we can help
clients ride the massive waves of disruption caused by their
convergence. Businesses are having to rethink not only how they do
things, but also the core of what it is they do. This report
recognizes that Accenture’s broad partner ecosystem, and ability to
offer integrated digital solutions at scale are key to our ability
to help clients take advantage of the opportunities for growth
presented by this fast-paced digital environment.”
