Here's a look at the top SI vendors in the U.S. market and worldwide.
By John McCormick
IDC just published a report that lists of the top 10 systems integration vendors.
Among the findings in the report:
- Accenture and IBM Global Services are the biggest SI firms in the world and are virtually tied as the industry leaders - there's less than a 0.01% difference in market share between them.
- The U.S. market is dominated by Lockheed Martin, CSC, and SAIC, companies that IDC says do a lot of business with the federal government.
- Like just about every other market, the first quarters of 2009 should show what kind of affect the current economic turmoil will have on the
market.
SI projects that involve application modernization, consolidation, rationalization, and optimization are driving growth, as are specialized projects, particularly around SOA [service-oriented architecture], vertical-specific ERP [enterprise resource planning] solutions, MDM [master data management], and business intelligence and analytics," wrote Ali Zaidi, a senior analyst in IDC's IT Consulting and Systems Integration practice, in an e-mail to CIOZone.
What to look for in the first half of the year?
"Infrastructure improvement, including data center consolidation and virtualization, application consolidation, and data consolidation, was most frequently mentioned by IT executives as a priority aimed at achieving lower-cost and higher-performance IT," Zaidi said. "Many U.S. IT organizations are already reducing their spending for 2008 and for 2009, with more than half of the executives citing existing negative impact on their budget from the economy. Further, IT executives indicated that funding is moving back to being more centralized, in part for better control and efficiency. However, IDC notes that as far as the strategic SI projects are concerned, the SI market will not slow down per se, as companies continue to carry out mission-critical SI projects."
