According to the report, Accenture is clearly differentiated in the Azure service market, especially in overall Market Impact around portfolio mix and value delivered. Accenture is also positioned strongly in Vision & Capability, which assesses vision, strategy, delivery footprint, innovation and investments.

"Cloud hyperscalers have now become a key lever for enterprise digital transformation, with Microsoft Azure aggressively capturing market share in the public cloud space. System integrators are playing a crucial role in helping enterprises derive business value from the full stack of Microsoft Azure offerings,” said Ashwin Venkatesan, vice president, Everest Group. “Accenture has built a highly successful Microsoft Azure business together with Avanade, its joint venture with Microsoft. Recent acquisitions by Avanade of Azeo and Alnamic AG have further strengthened overall capabilities, which coupled with Accenture’s investments in development labs and studios, position it as a Leader on Everest Group’s 2021 System Integrator Capabilities on Microsoft Azure PEAK Matrix® Assessment."

As strengths, Everest Group cites Accenture’s broad Azure offerings in infrastructure, platform, data, IoT, and cognitive services, specifically highlighting its end-to-end implementation and Azure data modernization solutions. Everest Group also acknowledges Accenture as having one of the largest pools of certified professionals, expanding its reach across geographies. The report notes that clients have identified Accenture’s strategy development, knowledgeable talent pool, cost optimization and client management as key strengths.
