Leading providers of application services - EMEA

PAC recently published the first rankings at global and EMEA level, taking into account 2020 revenue. Usually we publish our vendor rankings considering the fiscal year ending in that specific year. We will stick to this policy for our multiple, extensive rankings (by country, by products and services, by industry, by topic/ offering). However, given the strong impact of the Covid 19 crisis in 2020, we decided to add some short vendor rankings at worldwide as well as at EMEA level considering a more comparable fiscal year. For this, we considered 4 consecutive quarters, with the last one ending in Q4 2020. This allows for a better comparison of supplier performance.

Looking at the top 10 application services at EMEA level, the adjusted ranking shows Accenture, Capgemini and IBM on the podium. TCS and CGI round out the top 5, followed by Deloitte, Sopra Steria, Atos, DXC and Infosys, with Cognizant knocking on the door (only €5 million behind Infosys). The race for 5th place will be particularly interesting this year, with less than €150m separating CGI (5th place) from the next 3 pursuers.

Clearly the performance varied strongly depending on the country mix (with companies strong in France particularly exposed to the crisis; impacting in particular SopraSteria, and to a lesser extent Capgemini, CGI and Atos) and the realized acquisitions (Altran’s acquisition even enabling a two-digits growth for Capgemini).
