The digitalization wave sweeping across industries compelled enterprises to integrate software and next-generation technologies in their products and offerings, all while accelerating time-to-market and keeping a lid on costs. Leading service providers responded and engaged with enterprises to help them keep pace with rapidly evolving customer expectations. The PEAK Matrix® Provider of the Year awards help enterprises to identify distinguished providers with strong capabilities and successful services strategies that align well with the evolving enterprise engineering services demand.
