Research Firm Evaluates CompuCom on Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute
DALLAS — April 5, 2011— CompuCom Systems, Inc., the leading IT outsourcing specialist, has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the “Leaders” quadrant of the 2011 Magic Quadrant for Help Desk Outsourcing, North America.* The report positions Help Desk service providers based on ability to execute and completeness of vision.
The report found that more than 85 percent of the client organizations interviewed for the study used the same provider for desktop and help desk support. This increased from the previous years because end-user computing virtualization and cloud computing are driving clients to consider more portions of each IT tower (help desk and desktop as examples) as well as multiple IT towers to be delivered by a single provider.
“Our Integrated Infrastructure Management solution delivers significant business value through a tight integration of processes and automation tools that consistently delivers industry-leading service quality while driving down costs,” said Michael Keogh, vice president and general manager of CompuCom Integrated Shared Services. “The ITIL® service desk is a focal point for the end-user experience and a gateway to maturing IT infrastructure operations for more strategic contribution to business value.”
The Magic Quadrant positions providers based on ability to execute, which includes service offering, sales execution and pricing, marketing execution, customer experience, operations, market responsiveness and track record, and overall viability when evaluating ability to execute. Completeness of vision is evaluated based on service offering strategy, business model, market understanding, sales strategy, vertical market strategy and geographical strategy, with direct feedback from extensive interviews with the provider's clients.
