New York, — Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited is pleased to announce today that Deloitte was positioned as a Kennedy Vanguard market leader in IT Strategy Consulting in Kennedy Consulting Research & Advisory’s IT Strategy Consulting Marketplace 2011, based on its business-led, IT-enabled approach.

The Kennedy report evaluated Deloitte in a group of 30 of the largest organizations providing services in this market, while also examining market trends, market share estimates, and the worldwide IT Strategy consulting landscape. According to the report, Deloitte’s depth in numerous vertical industries, strong breadth of skills and services, and its trusted brand has allowed it to become a leader in this global market.

“I am delighted by Kennedy’s recognition, which I feel emphasizes the powerful combination of deep industry knowledge, strong functional capabilities, and the leading-edge methods and tools represented within Deloitte’s IT Strategy consulting services,” says Peter Blatman, Global Technology Advisory Services Leader, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited. “In today’s market, with business needs shifting rapidly and the technological ’art of the possible’ continuously evolving, Deloitte looks forward to remaining dedicated to delivering the highest standard of client service at the intersection of business demand and technology potential.”

With its heritage in risk and compliance, the firm develops an IT Strategy that carefully considers enterprise risk associated with enabling technologies.”
“Deloitte pursues IT Strategy clients and projects where its differentiated capability would be most valuable. Its client service teams and target teams are assembling practitioners that represent a broad range of competencies to identify business issues and technical solutions that its competitors often cannot provide and that clients themselves sometimes have not considered.”
