30 August 2016 – Dimension Data, the $7.5 billion global ICT solutions and services provider, today announced that Gartner, Inc., a leading IT research and advisory firm, has ranked Dimension Data among the top 10 fastest-growing consulting service providers, 2014-2015 in the new report, “Market Share Analysis: Consulting Services, Worldwide, 2015.” Authored by Jacqueline Heng, Dean Blackmore and Julie Short, the report was published in May 2016.

The list ranked consulting providers worldwide according to “annual revenue growth rates for 2014 and 2015 (with a cutoff at $20 million consulting service revenue; the cutoff serves to keep the table relevant).”

Key report findings include:

• Consultancies advising on digital business must help clients clearly articulate their service purchases to the overall business growth of a company.
