A renowned audit, tax and advisory services firm, KPMG, has been named a leader among insight service providers in The Forrester WaveTM: Insights Service Providers, Q1 2017.
Forrester Research said, “KPMG has cracked the code for balancing business and technology expertise” and is “on the forefront of innovation.”
KPMG is cited for its “comprehensive approach to bridging a potential ‘trust gap’” and for its “compelling decision tools” that “present insights, alternative actions, and potential outcomes, and differentiate KPMG’s implementation support.”
KPMG believes that in a global environment defined by constant disruption, business leaders need to be confident in their decisions–and that means being confident in their data, their algorithms and their analytics capabilities.
At a time when nearly 60 percent of today’s CEOs say they don’t have a high level of trust in their data and analytics accuracy, D&A serves as an integral part of decision-making for businesses that want to thrive in today’s competitive environment.
Forrester noted the work KPMG’s teams have done in establishing the importance of trusted analytics.
“In less than two and a half years, we have seen our vision to be a leader in D&A become a reality. Congratulations to our global network of dedicated D&A professionals who have worked tirelessly to make this goal a reality. We continue to raise the bar to bring the best of KPMG to clients,” Global Head of Data & Analytics, Christian Rast, stated.
