Companies scoring well in the cloud, data analytics, and future of work themes lead the thematic screen of the analyst’s IT services sector scorecard. This is dominated by global IT services giants Accenture, IBM, and Infosys, closely followed by Capgemini and Tata Consultancy Services (TCS). Indian heritage vendors occupy half of the top 10 vendor positions, suggesting they are successfully adapting their strategies to the long-term concern of a declining cost advantage versus their US and European peers.

Leading IT services companies continue to upskill their workforces in artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, particularly generative AI, as they see a significant advisory opportunity. This typically comes in the shape of partnerships with cloud vendors like Alphabet, Microsoft, and Amazon. However, there are significant challenges in achieving enterprise-level accuracy and reliability. Just this quarter, McDonald's had to remove an IBM-developed AI ordering technology from its drive-through restaurants in the US. After an initial experimentation phase with lots of pilots, IT services customers are likely to become more demanding in terms of the return on their generative AI investments. Furthermore, as customers explore AI delivery models involving private and hybrid cloud, we expect systems integrators such as DXC Technology, Fujitsu, and Kyndryl to become increasingly involved.
