The IDC MarketScape report names EY as one of the leading providers of consulting services to middle market firms, rating the organization most highly at providing “high-quality service” and helping clients manage risk through EY’s core consulting services provided by its Advisory practice, complemented by consulting services from other service lines.
According to the report, EY is considered by middle market clients to be “among the best” organizations for helping them identify options for growth and improve the experience of their end customers and at providing functional or technical insights, for example through the EY 7 Drivers of Growth framework and EY Growth Navigator™ diagnostic tool. In addition, EY is seen to be better than many of its peers at helping clients manage risk, transform processes and become more efficient enterprises.
The IDC MarketScape report evaluates companies based on a comprehensive framework and set of parameters that assess global business consulting service providers relative to one another. It also examines factors expected to be most conducive to success in a given market.
