The report authored by Daniel Barros, Helen Huntley, Karen A. Hobert was published on January 30, 2017.

The Leaders quadrant indicates the direction of the managed workplace services (MWS) market. However, most digital workplace offerings still have low adoption rates.

Leaders have demonstrated their experience in delivering managed workplace services and understand the requirements to successfully deliver these services. They have proved their ability to execute and their completeness of vision."
The report evaluated 21 different software vendors on 15 criteria including their completeness of vision, service delivery capabilities, customer experience, operations, market understanding, strategy, innovation, and has placed Wipro in the 'Leaders' quadrant. The full report is available here.
