Logica, the leading IT and business services company, has been named
number one European vendor of application management (AM) services in
Europe. Pierre Audoin Consultants (PAC) puts Logica at the top of its
table of revenues generated from standalone AM in Western Europe during
2007, ahead of Accenture, Capgemini, IBM Global Services and Atos
Origin.
‘Applications Management in Europe: a buyer’s guide’ provides an
overview of the AM sector in Western Europe, an assessment of the
vendor landscape and a supplier checklist for organisations developing
an AM strategy. PAC defines AM as the maintenance and enhancement of
existing applications, which can also include initial development with
a commitment to fulfilling pre-defined service level agreements on a
fixed price basis.
According to the report, Logica ranks as the largest provider of AM
services in Western Europe following its recent acquisitions in France
(Unilog) and the Nordic region (WM-Data) and the strengthening of its
global delivery capabilities.
Jean-Marc Lazzari, Logica CEO for Outsourcing Services, said: “We are
delighted to be ranked number one in this important report on the AM
marketplace. It is yet another sign that our strategy to build
strong customer relationships at a local level backed with blended
global service delivery is the right way to go. We agree with PAC’s
prediction that AM will remain a robust area of investment for our
clients during the economic downturn, because it can not only reduce
their costs but, with a supplier like Logica, provide added value to
their business.”
