Even if the global economy slows during 2023, clients’ IT spending will not disappear as IT is a necessity that enables clients to establish new business models, grow revenues and create efficiencies to drive cost savings. Vendors’ talent management strategies emphasize finding highly specialized talent and right-sizing nonspecialized talent pools to establish resource benches to address demand for digital transformation. While intense competition for talent remains, macroeconomic headwinds will cool down the labor market in 2023 and shift vendors’ activities from hiring to upskilling, reskilling, career development and improving employee experience.

Market conditions remain unpredictable, leading firms to prepare business models with resilience and the capabilities to respond to a wide range of needs and goals spanning strategy, operations, resource management and technology. As the lines between business segments begin to blur, requiring input from each group, firms will need to bring together the right people and capabilities to drive value for clients. Talent recruitment and retention will remain a challenge for firms, which will dictate success. Lastly, maintaining client trust will help vendors offset competitive pressures and remain go-to-market partners by increasing visibility across different environments.

We believe the opportunity around cloud, analytics, cybersecurity and product engineering services remains strong as enterprise buyers continue to adjust their operating models to ensure business continuity, leveraging cloud-enabled technologies at both the infrastructure and applications layers. Given its continued success, Accenture has raised expectations about its future performance, a target we believe the company is capable of reaching as long as it does not drift too far into one particular area, such as the metaverse, and instead maintains a pragmatic approach to its diversified go-to-market strategy.

Expectations for GenAI Deployment in IT Services in 2024

Generative AI (GenAI) has been unavoidable, but the early 2023 hype has now been tempered by concerns around cost, technology challenges and ethics. To keep clients interested, IT services vendors and consultancies have pivoted from art-of-the-possible to business-backed use cases. Persistent challenges around deploying actual GenAI-enabled solutions at scale have not abated, even as IT services vendors, consultancies and their clients have become more familiar with AI’s potential and limitations.
