Accenture (NYSE: ACN) has been positioned as a “Leader” in IDC’s
recently published report, “IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Oracle
Implementation Ecosystem 2012 Vendor Analysis.”1 The report
represents a vendor assessment, including both qualitative and
quantitative characteristics, of the 2012 Oracle-based systems
integration ecosystem through the IDC MarketScape model.
IDC assessed 12 of the largest Oracle applications systems integrators
for this report, which is designed to evaluate the characteristics of
each firm. In naming Accenture as a leader, IDC stated that, “Accenture
has a comprehensive set of services for Oracle in the market and is one
of Oracle's global partners. Accenture is known for its vertical
industry specialization and industry-tailored solutions, global delivery
capability, and breadth of service — including strategy, business
consulting, systems integration, technology consulting, and application
outsourcing – serving the needs of large-scale businesses and
governments.”
“Accenture’s being named a leader in this report is an affirmation of
our extensive track record of Oracle systems implementations worldwide,”
said Derek Steelberg, global managing director of Oracle business for
Accenture. “Looking ahead, we will continue to help our clients gain the
most business value from their Oracle implementations by leveraging our
global network, industry experience and strong alliance with Oracle,
combined with investments in innovative Oracle-based solutions for
vertical industries, customer experience, analytics, mobility and
engineered systems.”
IDC divides potential key strategy measures for success into two primary
categories: capabilities and strategies. IDC specifically noted three
areas of strength for Accenture: ability to integrate teams, capability
to provide functional insights and ability to manage changes in project
scope.
