Cloud Native. The PEAK Matrix is a framework for identifying the relative market success and capabilities of service providers.
Accenture’s strong performance in securing year over year growth saw it identified as cloud enablement services market ‘Star Performer’ in the Services PEAK Matrix.

In the area of vision & capability, Accenture has improved from last year in measured criteria including vision and strategy, scope of services, innovation and investment, and delivery footprint.
Accenture excels because of its wide range of strategic alliances and partnerships with leading technology vendors and cloud services providers on a global scale.
