Accenture has been positioned as a leader in the inaugural Verdantix 2020 Green Quadrant for Operational Excellence Digital Services report.

The Verdantix Green Quadrant assessed the capabilities of the 12 most prominent vendors in the market on their ability to meet customer demands for operational excellence digital services. That is defined as consulting engagements that blend knowledge of industrial processes with digital technologies, to deliver improvements in operational excellence strategies across asset reliability, maintenance, turnarounds and environment, health and safety.

Accenture was recognized for key strengths, including its ability to successfully deliver a wide gamut of asset reliability and integrity projects. These range from traditional reliability-based inspection deployments and consulting on process design to implementing predictive analytics, robotics and mobility solutions. Verdantix also highlighted that this ranking is supported by long-standing partnerships with well-known engineering, Internet of Things and data system providers.
