	December 1, 2005 The Forrester Wave™: Indian Vendor Consulting Capabilities, Q4 2005 Evaluation Of Top Indian Consulting Vendors Across 20 Criteria by Stephanie Moore with Tom Pohlmann, Olivia Ester, Katherine Brown

This is an excerpt

Executive Summary

As the use of Indian vendors becomes increasingly accepted for applications development, infrastructure management, and business processes outsourcing (BPO) tasks, companies are beginning to look to their Indian providers for IT and business process consulting expertise also. To assess the state of the Indian vendor consulting market and see how the vendors stack up against each other, Forrester evaluated the strengths and weaknesses of top-tier Indian vendors across 20 criteria. The result was that two distinctly different types of consulting capability emerged: technical consulting and business process consulting. While all the vendors evaluated had good to excellent technical consulting expertise, they had different capabilities in business process consulting. Infosys, given its investment in a separate IT/business consulting arm, is best positioned to offer high-value management consulting skills. Cognizant, despite its strong technical capabilities and technical consulting experience, is least equipped to deliver standardized business processes and strategy consulting services. Included in this report is an interactive vendor comparison tool that provides detailed service evaluations and customizable rankings.
