Abstract

This IDC study uses the IDC MarketScape model to provide an assessment of a number of providers participating in the Americas 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 a given market during both the short term and the long term.

"In the Americas, consulting providers are generally perceived as being able to integrate their engagement teams with those of their clients, offer high-quality staff/service, and understand the unique needs of each client's business," noted Gard Little, vice president, Global Services, Markets and Trends, "but, generally, enterprises are less impressed with the consulting provider's ability to directly improve their commercial performance, to provide the required spectrum of strategy consulting services, and to integrate appropriate technologies."
