For this report, Everest Group evaluated 15 leading application modernization service providers based on various criteria, including characterization and approach to application modernization, which it defines as the migration of an existing environment to a new one so as to significantly improve user experience and value. The report commented on Accenture’s “proactive approach and extensive technical knowledge” in identifying modernization opportunities for clients.
“At Accenture, we see application modernization as a key part of the digital transformation that helps clients strip out unnecessary operating costs, reduce capital spend and allow IT staff to focus on creating value for the business,” said Bhaskar Ghosh, group chief executive, Accenture Technology Services. “We are honored to be recognized by Everest Group as a Leader in this endeavor, and we look forward to continuing to set goals that transform organizations by making them more automated and intelligent.”
The report highlighted four of Accenture’s key proprietary solutions:
- Accenture Software Remediation Tool: Identifies elements within source code that can be identified and remediated, and ultimately decreases the time required for development by 50%.
- Accenture Systemic Diagnostic: Provides an X-ray of clients’ systems for value assessment, generates automated details of business processes, customization, and evolution of changes, volumetric analysis reports and details templates for additional data capture. This system improves the efficiency of planning and design by up to 30%.
- Accenture myWizard: This cloud-based platform with a modernization virtual agenda helps delivery teams integrate the most appropriate modernization strategy into their processes.
- Accenture Cloud Migration: This process establishes dedicated resources and tools to focus on running proofs-of-concepts, demos and performing workload migrations to drive application modernization. Migration efforts are reduced by 30% using this system.
Adam Burden, global lead for Advanced Technology & Architecture at Accenture, added: “Application modernization is all about helping organizations accelerate their digital agenda while extending the useful life of their systems and doing it in a way that is least disruptive to the business. We’ve invested extensively in solutions such as Accenture myWizard, which has more than 45 patents and uses cloud and artificial intelligence innovations to bring our application modernization methods to the leading edge.”
“As part of their digital agenda, enterprises are not only adopting emerging technologies but are also modernizing their legacy systems.

Its proactive approach for client engagement and its investments in developing technical and domain expertise are resonating well with clients,” said Yugal Joshi, Practice Director of Application Services at Everest Group.
