Named as a Leader for Fourth Consecutive Year

NEW YORK; Feb. 1, 2016 – Accenture (NYSE: ACN) is positioned furthest and highest in the “Leaders” quadrant within the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Oracle Application Management Services, Worldwide, for both ability to execute and completeness of vision.

The report evaluated 17 companies providing application management services (AMS), specifically for Oracle applications on the following attributes and capabilities: ability to deliver a comprehensive set of application management services across the Oracle product line; insights across industries for Oracle AMS decisions; investments in industry-specific offerings; investments in intellectual property, tools, templates and accelerators; and insights into and investments in the Oracle application product line.

“Application services are being massively transformed by new innovations in IT, and our leadership position in this report reflects the extensive focus and investments we are making to be at the forefront of innovation,” said Terri Strauss, global managing director of Oracle business for Accenture. “We believe being named as a leader in Oracle services for the fourth year in a row is a testament not only to the breadth of our capabilities and industry experience, but also the business outcomes we deliver for our clients.”

“Application management used to be thought of as relatively constant and unchanging,” said Kishore Durg, managing director, Accenture Accelerating Applications and Testing Services Global Lead. “Today, the pressure is on to keep enterprise systems in sync with massive waves of technology and business disruption. With our market-leading Oracle application management services, Accenture is ready to help companies find untapped value in their Oracle environments while transforming them to be highly efficient and digital and cloud-ready.”
