I am excited to share that Capgemini has been recognized as a Leader in the Everest Group PEAK Matrix® Assessment for Data and Analytics Service providers in 2021. I am proud to see how the combined strengths of our global Data, AI & Analytics offers, capabilities and talent has once again excelled, positioning us as a global leader, for the third year in a row.

The Everest Group PEAK Matrix report, which assesses 29 leading global D&A service providers on their market impact, overall vision, and capabilities, highlights three main strengths of Capgemini for securing this position:

  2. Our ability to provide cost-competitive services by balancing onshore and offshore delivery to optimize delivery costs for our clients.

The good news is the strengths recognized by Everest Group are just the tip of the metaphorical iceberg. Let me share some additional key underlying factors that I believe have led to our leadership position:
