New IDC 2017 MarketScape Series Assesses Worldwide Business Consulting Services Market

FRAMINGHAM, Mass.--()--International Data Corporation (IDC) today published a new series of MarketScape reports that provide an assessment of the leading providers of global business consulting services. The reports utilize a comprehensive framework and a set of parameters that evaluates providers relative to one another and to those factors expected to be most conducive to success in a given market during both the short term and the long term.

For the study, IDC MarketScape: Asia/Pacific Business Consulting Services 2017 Vendor Assessment (IDC #US42327717), nine firms were evaluated, including the five largest business consulting firms. IBM and PwC were named Leaders in the report.

For the study, IDC MarketScape: Americas Business Consulting Services 2017 Vendor Assessment (IDC #US41569317), ten firms were evaluated, including the five largest business consulting firms. Deloitte, EY, IBM, and Accenture, were recognized as Leaders.

For the study, IDC MarketScape: EMEA Business Consulting Services 2017 Vendor Assessment (IDC #US41569517), 11 firms were evaluated, including the five largest business consulting firms. Accenture, Deloitte, EY, IBM, KPMG, McKinsey, and PwC were named Leaders.

For the study, IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Business Consulting Services 2017 Vendor Assessment (IDC #US41569617), nine firms were evaluated, including the five largest business consulting firms. Deloitte, EY, and IBM were identified as Leaders.

"While consulting providers are generally perceived as capable, this evaluation discovered that generally enterprises are disappointed with the consulting provider's ability to drive business change across the organization, manage vendor staff turnover during a project's lifetime, or challenge corporate culture, activities essential to many significant business transformation initiatives. In this research and others, we find that some vendors are better able to produce meaningful results than others," said Cushing Anderson, vice president, Business Consulting Services research at IDC.
