Accenture also received the highest scores possible in the Vision, Partner Ecosystem and Innovation Strategy criteria.

“It’s no surprise that COVID-19 has accelerated the need for omnichannel commerce strategy and capabilities, but what it takes to engage customers in the right moment may be surprising. We believe agility, innovation, and experience are the keys to delivering a seamless commerce experience that allows customers to drive and pace their own needs rather than the other way around,” said Deb Corrao, senior managing director, Accenture Interactive. “Given the speed of change this year and how significantly market conditions have shifted, our clients’ commerce strategies and experiences have never been more important. We believe Forrester’s recognition underscores our ongoing commitment to creating 360-degree value for our clients in today’s rapidly changing digital world.”
