The report evaluates service providers across a broad spectrum of technical and business requirements, including implementation and evolution for major platforms such as SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, and Workday. Deloitte’s top-tier performance extended to its Application Management Services and discovery and design capabilities, according to the findings published by Gartner in May 2026.

Leadership at the firm attributes these results to a shift in how they approach digital transformation. By integrating proprietary tools like Zora AI and the Deloitte Ascend platform, the organization focuses on value realization rather than single-event project completion. According to D'Arcy Mathias, Deloitte Global Enterprise Technology and Performance leader, this strategy prioritizes practical, scalable outcomes over traditional implementation models.

This recognition underscores a broader shift in the professional services sector toward long-term operational support. Keshav Mithal, Deloitte Global Enterprise Technology and Performance Operate leader, noted that the firm’s philosophy treats transformation as a permanent capability. By maintaining a focus on industry-specific innovation, the company aims to help clients navigate changing business needs long after the initial go-live phase.
