We assessed 14 service providers across their value propositions (the why), execution and innovation capabilities (the what), go-to-market strategy (the how), and market impact criteria (the so what). The Horizon 3 leaders are, in alphabetical order, Accenture, Deloitte, EY, Infosys, and TCS.
These service providers have demonstrated their ability to support cards and payments across all three Horizons, including functional digital transformation (Horizon 1), enterprise-wide modernization (Horizon 2), and building ecosystems to create new value (Horizon 3). Horizon 3 for payment providers is launching new offerings at speed and scale.
These leaders’ shared characteristics include deep domain expertise, a full-service approach across consulting, IT, and operations, a strong focus on innovation, internally and externally with partners, co-innovation with clients and partners, and proven impact and outcomes for payment providers.

Note: All service providers within a “Horizon” are listed alphabetically
