PwC named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Asia/Pacific Cloud Professional Services 2023–2024

PwC is a leader in the IDC MarketScape: Asia/Pacific Cloud Professional Services 2023–2024 Vendor Assessment (November 2023, IDC #AP50426623). 

‘IDC's assessment of aggregated customer feedback suggests that Cloud Professional Services (CPS) vendors generally performed well on the following:

• Services at the infrastructure layer (infrastructure as a service [IaaS])

• Seeking client feedback and acting on it in a timely manner 

• Complying with new or existing regulations 

• Providing technical insights and competence.’

The report states, ‘PwC provides a full range of cloud and digital consulting services across advisory, design, build, implement, and operate, across industry verticals and hyperscaler platforms. PwC's CPS business is organized by go-to-market (GTM), solutioning, and delivery functions, and has practices by hyperscalers (AWS, Azure, GCP), Ali Cloud (in some markets), data analytics and AI, and engineering.’

Scott Evans, Partner, Digital Innovation Cloud Engineering Lead, PwC Australia, says, ‘Today, the question isn’t whether you’re going to move to the cloud but how you’ll do it and how fast. We help our clients to refocus your cloud strategy from a purely technical lens to one that puts the needs of the business and drives value first.’

Sudhir Kesavan, Partner, Cloud Transformation Lead, PwC India, said, ‘Taking a fresh, bold and innovative approach to unlocking value by seamlessly powering a shift in mindset, Cloud is the driving force powering digital transformation today. But harnessing the cloud in all its forms —whether it’s new digital revenue streams, smarter ways of working, on-demand software applications, data and infrastructure services, or delivering superlative customer experiences — can be an overwhelming proposition. We start with the business outcome you’re after and radically rethink how cloud technology can help you get there more quickly, by combining the power of our software accelerators, industry know-how and robust cloud engineering capabilities. Fast forward your business with PwC’s Cloud Transformation solution - a business-first approach to leveraging cloud.’

The report highlights some key strengths of PwC:

• ‘PwC brings a strong industry-aligned, business outcome focus to its cloud transformation engagements. 

• Customers that IDC interacted with commended the vendor's ability to deliver innovation, help comply with new/existing regulations, and support projects with local presence, and generally felt that they got good value for the fee paid.’

The IDC MarketScape report goes on to say, ‘Consider PwC when you want a strong business transformation partner that operates with an industry lens and can provide robust compliance, risk management, and security services as part of its cloud services.’
