Abstract

This IDC study uses the IDC MarketScape model to provide an assessment of several providers participating in the EMEA business consulting services market. The IDC MarketScape is an evaluation based on a comprehensive framework and a set of parameters that assesses providers relative to one another and to those factors expected to be most conducive to success in each market during both the short term and the long term.

"In EMEA, business consulting providers are generally perceived as being able to understand the unique needs of a client's business, meet the project timeline, and integrate their project teams with the ones of the client. They are also considered very capable of providing technical insights and competence and offering high-quality staff and service," said Bjoern Stengel, senior research analyst, Business Consulting Services at IDC. "This evaluation discovered that generally clients in EMEA are less impressed with consulting providers' ability to directly improve their commercial performance, provide the required spectrum of strategy consulting services, and integrate appropriate analytics into the engagement — all essential to many significant business transformation initiatives."
