Manufacturing Growth Slows, But EMEA IT Services Vendors Find Lifeline in Public Sector Wins 

/by

This quarter, we look at Accenture, Atos, Capgemini and IBM Consulting in the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) market, and compare how their industry diversification, portfolios and localization strategies position them for revenue growth.

Joint offerings may motivate clients to invest in these solutions rather than only implementing AI into existing solutions.
