Clients' digital transformation requirements remain at the core of business decisions, as evidenced by the following:
- Save yourself money and prepare your company for an unpredictable year by updating its (automated) systems with AI/ML applications that could benefit both sides.
- Connect legacy systems and equip employees with data they need to adapt quickly to changing business demands in response to pandemic outbreaks.
- You may provide organic industry-oriented or professional applications requiring advanced applications, improved mobile accessibility, and increased access.
- These plans typically gain steam during and following an annual planning process, increasing activity during Q1 and culminating in March.
IBM's spinout of Kyndryl as a managed service has proven an unexpected market accelerator due to its spiraling attrition of clients and revenues, debt load, and tight margins.
Furthermore, Kyndryl's disruptive nature inevitably forces price increases at times when customers can least afford them; you can read about more in our blog post, Why March Is an Ideal Month to Restructure IT Services Deals.

Despite their difficult years, Zensar was included in 2023 ratings, experiencing revenue and workforce reductions, leading them to experience a 57% market cap decline versus last year.
We removed Zensar this year as they have not actively compete favorably for new deals or managed it services for small businesses been competitive enough in bids against others for deals that had come their way.
Although some IT Consulting firms, most notably Accenture, also provide IT (Outsourcing), we did not include them here due to a different classification strategy, as we will publish another piece specifically on consulting firms (Summer of IT consulting Love blog post coming soon.).
Remember, though: Accenture would likely rank midway on our list had it been evaluated using identical criteria as other suppliers; therefore, this classification decision cannot be seen as an error.
Intentional Exclusions:
- Accenture
- Bearing Point
- Capgemini
- Deloitte
- The EY
- KPMG
- PwC

Executive summary:
At Federated Market Intelligence (FMI), we employ a proprietary ranking method for suppliers in our Federated Market Intelligence.
This system comprises multiple layers of data and information, such as client feedback and our research, independent third-party market and supplier analyses by third parties, and live field interaction. Once results have been tallied up, they are weighted accordingly using historical examples and predictive modeling based on clients' priorities for the coming year.
These firms were selected based on our analysis of FMI and several other considerations, such as their frequency in client accounts as incumbents or insurgents, coverage and services models, alignment to client needs, intensity to win competitions, and willingness to do right by clients.
Data for our research came from various sources such as peer-review sites and technology websites - many of these will appear here on our blog.
Ranking of IT Service Companies 2023:
Our rankings for the Top IT Service Companies of 2023 are determined based on our combined experience, client feedback, and market research results.
Our conclusions are completely objective and empirical since we do not work with suppliers to collect information, do research, assess analyses, or produce content; this means they cannot influence or change our evaluations or change them in any way.
Anyone familiar with strategic sourcing projects and supplier performance management through us has likely witnessed our unique method for turning opinions-based analyses into empirical data - hence why Gartner Forrester or IDC did not make our Top 5 list.
Honorable mentions: These firms did not place in our top 10, nor did anyone score first overall, but when you consider your workload, they may all prove suitable choices.
- Cognizant
- Infosys
- Kyndryl
- TCS
- Tech Mahindra
The Top Ten IT Service Providers in the World:
- LTI had previously been ranked 4th when only considering India-specific IT Services firms; thus, slipping to 10th overall when measured against similar firms is a little setback.
They scored well for DEI and customer service, pricing, and overall satisfaction ratings from customers; unfortunately, their employees gave low scores when assessing satisfaction scores in our study.
- HCL had previously ranked 10th among all Indian IT Services Companies; moving up one spot this year and competing against international firms is evidence of its progress.
Though not first place overall in our categories, HCL achieved impressive performances across many of them and still earned high customer ratings through NPS scores; nonetheless, its NPS still needs to be higher.
- MindtreeThough not on our list, Mindtree received excellent customer service and quality ratings and their highest possible pricing rating.
- DXC faces unique heritage-related difficulties.
Of all firms considered, its NPS score ranks lowest; customer service and pricing also score lower for it than other firms considered, yet DXC ranks first overall when considering corporate culture, team culture, professional development opportunities for employees, CEO approval criteria for leadership culture as well as overall culture excellence.
- Although not in first place, Hexaware still showed strong performances across nearly all categories and only narrowly missed making the Top 5.
DEI proved especially challenging.
- Wipro stands out in every area except one: pricing.
Wipro's cost has long been an issue; however, their rate-per-hour system only measures productivity losses rather than potential benefits to our economy.
Hence, the economic value equation must also include productivity drag factors to calculate pricing effectiveness and value.
- NTT did not place first in any category, yet placed among the Top Five for every other one except pricing.
Their IT products may be valuable yet costly.
Still, their higher cost premium may only partially justify themselves as market options exist.
- Microland, one of our newly featured companies, had an outstanding showing - ranking highest for product quality, CEO scores, and employee satisfaction scores.
They have proven themselves to be an industry leader.
3.
Microland made waves when first appearing on our list with outstanding product quality scores for product quality, CEO scores, and employee satisfaction rankings, all standing at or exceeding 90% satisfaction.
4.
Microland excels on our list with their excellent performance.
They rank first overall for product quality scores, CEO scores, and employee satisfaction measures.
5.
- Mphasis was our top IT Services Firm, "India Based" winner from 2023.
This year, it continued its strong performance by ranking amongst our Top 10 IT Services Companies with increased competition, again appearing ahead in customer recommendations rankings and being named our Customer Satisfaction Winner for 2023.
- Fujitsu stands out as an unparalleled leader in our 2023 rankings, scoring highly across every aspect of business except professional development.
However, employees rated its compensation and benefits packages more highly than any other firm.
