Virtusa was among the leading providers in The Breakthrough Top 15 Sourcing Standouts for the Americas, Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) and the Asia Pacific regions based on annual contract value (ACV) won over the last 12 months, according to the Q2 2017 Global ISG Index. Now in its 59th consecutive quarter, the ISG Index provides an independent quarterly review of the latest sourcing industry data and trends.
“There is a seismic change happening in the IT outsourcing industry, with businesses looking for ways to break away from the traditional model, and moving towards applying automation and digital technology innovation to transform their businesses,” said Praveen Purushotham, global head of Marketing, Virtusa. “We are seeing increased demand for our transformational solutions and services due to our differentiated value proposition. Our IT outsourcing solutions and services address our clients’ strategic business goals of reducing operational costs and risk, while significantly improving IT support for emerging business demands. This recognition from ISG reinforces Virtusa’s reputation as a trusted partner providing best-in-class execution on large digital platforms and innovative thought leadership for clients across multiple industries.”

Each quarter, ISG names the top 15 commercial providers in the Big 15 (revenues of more than $10 billion), Building 15 (revenues between $1 billion and $10 billion) and Breakthrough 15 (revenues of less than $1 billion) categories in the Americas, EMEA and Asia Pacific regions. Each Top 15 category includes providers that compete in the traditional sourcing market, as well as those that compete in the as-a-service market, including IaaS and SaaS providers. Virtusa’s inclusion in the ISG Index™ is based on data the company submits to ISG each quarter.
