PwC rated as a Strong Performer in Microsoft Business Application Services

‘PwC is a strong business integrator and advisor...’

PwC announced that it was cited as a Strong Performer in The Forrester Wave™: Microsoft Business Application Services, Q4 2021.

Forrester notes that ‘customers seeking Microsoft Business Applications Services (MBAS) should look for providers that have:

• A complete, future-fit portfolio of MBAS offerings.
• Digital business transformation credentials.
• A sustained focus on innovation.’

The report states that: ‘PwC has a rapidly growing transformation-focused MBAS business. PwC impresses with the clarity of its vision, its accelerating investments in innovation, and its role in being a “business integrator” for clients.’

The report goes on to say that: ‘PwC has been strongly coinvesting toward expanding the partnership with Microsoft through joint labs, joint assets, and go-to-market motions and in upskilling and cross-training its advisory staff on the Microsoft stack. Among the advisory firms, PwC has one of the most well-rounded service portfolios, spanning MBAS consulting, implementation, and support. It differentiates with its BXT methodology — a UX-centric design and implementation approach that prioritizes business problem-solving and mirrors and extends Microsoft’s own Catalyst framework. PwC has invested in multiple industry and business process solutions, starting with finance, risk, and compliance and extending to smart factories, food and beverage and — notably, given the pandemic — healthcare. Reference clients appreciated PwC’s holistic technical capabilities, engagement flexibility, and business acumen; one client credited the provider for taking it “from nada to Prada.”

Patrick Pugh, Global Microsoft Relationship and Alliance Leader, PwC US, said: ‘We are really pleased to be recognised in this report and for receiving the top score in the strategy category in the Forrester Wave. We work with our clients to help them understand the benefits of Microsoft to their business and help them to gain the maximum value and achieve sustainable change.
