ACCENTURE NAMED A LEADER IN SALESFORCE
IMPLEMENTATION PARTNERS REPORT
Accenture (NYSE:ACN) has been recognized as a leader and “stands
out in scale, breadth, depth and focus on transformation” among
global Salesforce Implementation Partners by Forrester Research, a
leading global research and advisory firm. “The Forrester Wave™:
Salesforce Implementation Partners, Q3 2017” report evaluated 11 of
the vendors that matter most for digital transformation, based on
their performance in three main categories: current offering,
strategy and market presence.
In making its assessment, Forrester noted the following
findings:
- Accenture services run the full gamut
of client needs – from ideation in its own design studios or using
the Salesforce Ignite and Spark methodologies to implementation to
ongoing support.
- Accenture also holds a unique
partnership – which means it is often a first mover in newer
products and invests significantly in co-innovation with Salesforce
and Salesforce customers.
- Accenture is particularly well suited
to larger, global, and more complex deployments where business
transformation is a goal, as well as to clients looking to be on
the bleeding edge of technology.
Accenture received the highest possible score in business
transformation, prebuilt IP, market approach, innovation road map
and partner ecosystem. As the largest provider of Salesforce
Services globally, Accenture also scored highest in the client
experience and practitioners and skills criteria.
“We are thrilled about being recognized by Forrester as a leader
in Salesforce implementation. We believe this confirms that we’re
on a path to deliver exceptional value and meaningful business
outcomes for our clients,” said Saideep Raj, senior managing
director of Accenture Cloud First Applications. “Accenture is
driving Salesforce's largest transformational projects with a track

strategic alliance with Salesforce and continues to strengthen its
position as a leading Salesforce partner. From introducing nearly
