United Kingdom (UK) Digital Services 2021–2022 RadarView™

November, 2021

This report provides a view into the adoption of digital services in the United Kingdom (UK), the ecosystem participants, their interplay, key challenges and the technology landscape. The report helps in identifying the right service providers that enterprises can partner with for digital transformation. We continue with a detailed assessment of 25 leading service providers offering digital services in the UK. Each profile provides an overview of the service provider, their digital services capabilities and solutions, and a list of representative clients and partnerships, along with brief client case studies. Each profile concludes with analyst insights on the provider’s practice maturity, investments and innovations, and ecosystem development.

Why read this RadarView?

Rapidly evolving customer behaviour and emerging business and operating models have made digital adoption imperative. However, despite being early adopters, UK firms have not been able to scale up their digital transformation initiatives because of a predominantly siloed approach. The role of IT must evolve to meet their strategic needs.

This RadarView helps companies use digital technologies to drive their digital transformation. It also provides information to assist businesses in choosing the right digital service provider in the UK.
