360Quadrants powered by MarketsandMarkets™, the world’s only
comparison platform that combines expert analysis with crowdsourced insights
has released a quadrant on Managed Services
to help businesses make quicker and more informed decisions. The first release
of the quadrant has IBM, Cisco, and Accenture sharing space as Visionary
Leaders. 360Quadrants are generated post analysis of companies (product
portfolios and business strategy). Quadrants will be updated every three
months, and the position of vendors will reflect how buyers, industry experts,
and other vendors rate them on different parameters.

which 25 companies were shortlisted and categorized on a quadrant under
Visionary Leaders, Innovators, Dynamic Differentiators, and Emerging Companies.

Methodology
The methodology used to rank Managed Services
companies involved the use of extensive secondary research to identify key
vendors by referring to annual reports, press releases, investor presentations,
white papers, and various related directories and databases. 25 key vendors
were shortlisted on the basis of their breadth of product offerings,
organization size, and other criteria. The scores and weights for shortlisted
vendors against each parameter were finalized post research. After the ratings were finalized, each vendor
was placed in respective quadrants based on their score in the product offering
and business strategy parameters.
