In addition, Accenture received the highest score possible in the European practice size criterion within the Market Presence category. The report states, “…Accenture has been on a buying spree for its European business, with acquisitions of both the legacy Symantec business and security testing specialists Context IS. This has significantly added to its capabilities and skill sets over the past 12 months as well as its existing plans to expand its ‘cyber fusion’ centers to new locations including Naples."
"We believe this recognition from Forrester validates our European strategy and ability to develop and offer unique, industry-specific services that provide clients with tangible value."
