Highlights



Datamonitor is impressed with the speed that Avanade has developed, both in terms of company size & from a solution perspective. The ACA.NET framework is a good example of creating reusable assets based on traditional infrastructures & confirms the applicability of Microsoft technologies, web services & SOAs within critical enterprise environments.





One of the key challenges Avanade has to face is brand recognition it faces stiff competition from the likes of IBM & EDS, especially in heterogeneous environments & from smaller boutique consultancies in local markets. Given that it has reduced its dependency on Accenture to provide customer wins, it must be doing something right.
