OREANDA-NEWS. September 23, 2015. This IDC study represents the vendor assessment model called an IDC MarketScape. The research is a quantitative and qualitative assessment of the characteristics that explain a vendor's current and future success in the marketplace, assessing the capability and business strategy of many of the leading business consulting firms. The evaluation is based on a comprehensive framework and set of parameters expected to be most conducive to success in providing business consulting services during both the short term and the long term.

Dennis Chesley, Advisory principal and Global Risk Consulting leader said:  "We're delighted that the IDC MarketScape has once again recognised PwC as the leading provider of risk services globally. This recognition validates that our innovation in proactive risk management strategies and approaches continues to provide clients with what's needed, not just to survive but to thrive in this increasingly complex business environment. This result is especially pleasing since it is based on the IDC MarketScape's assessment of market and client feedback. We look forward to continued evolution in the risk consulting space, particularly as we bring our Strategy& colleagues to clients to help them build more risk resilient strategies and organisation.”

Marco Amitrano, Global Risk Assurance leader said:  “We are thrilled that the IDC MarketScape's great work reflects the significant investment we have made with our clients in this ever more important arena. We look forward to building on this with our clients and business partners as we seek to lead the next phase of market developments."
