For this report, IDC assessed 17 Adobe Experience Cloud professional services providers through the IDC MarketScape model, providing a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the characteristics that highlight each vendor’s success in the marketplace. The evaluation is based on a comprehensive framework and set of parameters expected to be most conducive to success in providing cloud professional services in both the short term and the long term.

Accenture was recognized for Adobe-specific thought leadership, people quality and industry knowledge and expertise.

Clients love the way Accenture combines ground-level technology skills with both strategic insight and the ability to drive business transformation.
