Accenture (NYSE: ACN) has been named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: European Professional Services for Data-Driven Personal Transportation 2022 Vendor Assessment

The report evaluates the capabilities of 13 professional services firms that are helping organizations across the transportation ecosystem execute their data-driven transportation strategies and implement data-driven mobility solutions.

The assessments provide businesses with a framework to measure the service providers against criteria such as delivery model, portfolio mix, range of services and customer satisfaction. The report notes that “Accenture is a convenient one-stop shop provider” and that customers appreciate “the strategic investment that Accenture has made in change management offerings that are necessary to transition towards a mindset that treats data as a strategic asset.”

“In their effort to deliver seamless data-driven transportation services and compete with emerging mobility start-ups, mobility providers are focused on developing offerings that can help them respond quickly to shifts in demand and identify needs efficiently,” said Axel Schmidt, a senior managing director at Accenture who leads its Automotive industry group globally. “We’re thrilled to be recognized by the IDC MarketScape as Leader in helping automotive companies and transportation operators enhance and re-design their offerings to meet the ever-changing customer demand and create unique mobility experiences.”

Kevin Eversmann, a managing director at Accenture who leads its automotive Global Data & AI group, said: “Data-driven approaches are now the core of every leading business. This development is fuelled by the ongoing industry convergence and is empowering enterprises to deliver new products, services and assets such as Catena-X, an automotive network that is helping develop an open ecosystem of information exchange within the automotive industry. We’re proud to be recognized by the IDC MarketScape as a Leader in this emerging area and that our clients appreciate our ‘one-stop-shop’ full-service capabilities.”

Massimiliano Claps, a research director at IDC and co-author of the report, said, “Accenture has been named a Leader based on the breadth of advisory and system integration services, ability to challenge the status quo by bringing new ideas and substantiating them with visionaries and technical experts, and investments in alliances with global technology platform providers, as well as mobility data and analytics specialists.”
