Best Digital Transformation Companies in 2026

Eleven digital transformation consultancies, from Deloitte and Accenture to EPAM and Thoughtworks, ordered by latest published annual revenue.

A digital transformation company is a professional services firm that helps organisations redesign products, operations and customer channels around software, data and, increasingly, artificial intelligence. The work typically combines management consulting (deciding what to change), experience design, and software and data engineering (building and running the result). Large firms now report this work at significant scale: Accenture booked US$36.88 billion of consulting revenue in fiscal 2026, and Boston Consulting Group states that AI- and technology-focused services made up more than 40% of its 2025 revenue.

This list covers firms whose core business is strategy-led or engineering-led transformation work, rather than outsourcing or infrastructure management, which is covered separately in lists of managed service providers. Entries are ordered by the most recent annual revenue each firm has published in its own results releases or filings, with the fiscal year stated for every figure.

What digital transformation firms do

The market divides roughly into three groups. Professional services networks and integrators, such as Deloitte and Accenture, sell strategy, implementation and long-term operation under one contract structure; Deloitte groups this work under its Strategy, Risk & Transactions and Technology & Transformation businesses. Strategy firms with technology arms, such as BCG and its BCG X unit, begin from the board-level question and build software products or AI tools where the strategy calls for them. Engineering-led digital consultancies, such as EPAM, Globant, Nagarro, Endava, Grid Dynamics and Thoughtworks, are organised around software delivery teams and tend to be engaged on platform modernisation, product development and data work.

The boundaries are porous. IBM reports its consulting business as a separate segment alongside software and infrastructure, while Kainos combines public-sector digital services with a Workday consulting practice and its own software products.

Methodology

Inclusion. A firm was included if its published materials describe strategy, design, engineering or AI-led business transformation as a core service line, and if it publishes an annual revenue figure in a results release, annual report or regulatory filing that could be opened and checked. Firms known for this work but for which no firm-level revenue figure could be verified from a primary source, including McKinsey & Company (and its QuantumBlack AI unit), Publicis Sapient (reported within Publicis Groupe) and Slalom, were not ranked.

Ordering. Entries are ordered by the latest annual revenue each firm has published, in its reporting currency and for its own fiscal year. Figures are not like-for-like in scope: Deloitte's figure is the aggregate revenue of its global network, including audit and tax; Accenture's includes managed services; and IBM's is its Consulting segment only. Endava's most recent audited figure is for the year to June 2025, because its fiscal 2026 results have been delayed by an audit committee investigation. Gaps between adjacent entries in different currencies are wide enough that the order does not depend on the exchange rate. Revenue measures scale only, not delivery quality or price. Thoughtworks, which stopped publishing results after it was taken private in November 2024, is placed last because its most recent public figure dates from fiscal 2023.

The list

1

Deloitte

Best for: Enterprises wanting strategy, implementation and risk advice from one network

Deloitte is a network of legally separate member firms coordinated by Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited (DTTL), which itself does not provide services to clients. For the fiscal year ended 31 May 2026 the network reported aggregate revenue of US$74.5 billion, up 5.7% in US dollars and 3.8% in local currency, with nearly 500,000 people in more than 150 countries and territories. Transformation work sits mainly in two consulting businesses: Strategy, Risk & Transactions, whose revenue grew 4.4% in local currency, and Technology & Transformation, which grew 2.5%. Deloitte does not publish a US-dollar revenue figure for either business, so the headline total also includes Audit & Assurance and Tax & Legal.

  • Auditor-independence rules can restrict consulting work for audit clients
2

Accenture

Best for: Large programmes that combine transformation with long-term operation

Accenture plc is registered in Dublin, Ireland. In the fiscal year ended 31 August 2026 it reported revenue of US$74.18 billion, split between consulting (US$36.88 billion) and managed services (US$37.30 billion). New bookings for the year were US$84.54 billion, of which US$40.86 billion was consulting. The company reported approximately 814,000 people at year end. Accenture's consulting line covers strategy, technology implementation, industry-specific transformation and creative services, while managed services covers the longer-running operation of applications, infrastructure and business processes.

3

IBM Consulting

Best for: Enterprises modernising core systems on hybrid cloud, especially IBM estates

IBM Consulting is one of IBM's reporting segments, alongside Software and Infrastructure; IBM is headquartered in Armonk, New York. The segment reported revenue of US$21.06 billion in 2025, up 2% as reported and flat at constant currency, with fourth-quarter revenue of US$5.35 billion. IBM said its company-wide generative AI book of business stood at more than US$12.5 billion at the time of the January 2026 release. The consulting business works heavily on enterprise application programmes and hybrid-cloud modernisation, and it is the services arm through which IBM's own software, including its AI and automation products, is often implemented.

Boston Consulting Group reported revenue of US$14.4 billion for 2025, up 7% from US$13.5 billion in 2024 and its 22nd consecutive year of growth. The firm had 33,500 employees and said that AI- and technology-focused services represented more than 40% of total revenue, with AI services growing 25% year on year. Its technology work is organised largely through BCG X, which builds bespoke AI solutions and industry platforms; BCG names examples such as Auto AI, Retail AI and Deep Customer Engagement AI, and it launched a BCG X AI Science Institute in 2025. BCG is privately owned by its partners.

EPAM Systems is headquartered in Newtown, Pennsylvania. It reported 2025 revenue of US$5.457 billion, up 15.4% year on year, or 4.9% on an organic constant-currency basis; the release attributes 9.2 percentage points of growth to recently acquired businesses. At 31 December 2025 the company had approximately 62,850 employees, of whom about 56,600 were delivery professionals. EPAM's business is weighted toward software engineering: building and modernising customer-facing platforms, data platforms and enterprise systems, with consulting and design capabilities layered on top.

6

Globant

Best for: Consumer-facing digital products and experience design with nearshore delivery

Globant S.A. has its registered office in Luxembourg. It reported 2025 revenue of US$2.455 billion, up 1.6% year on year, and ended the year with 28,773 employees, including 26,906 technology, design and innovation professionals. Management highlighted US$20.6 million of annual recurring revenue generated from its AI Pods, a subscription-style offer of AI-assisted delivery teams. Globant combines product design, software engineering and digital marketing technology, and much of its delivery capacity is in Latin America, which suits North American clients wanting time-zone overlap. Growth slowed markedly in 2025, and its guidance for 2026 implied revenue growth of no more than about 2%.

Endava

Best for: Payments and financial-services platform engineering

Endava plc is headquartered in London. Its last audited full-year figure is revenue of GBP 772.3 million for the year ended 30 June 2025, up 4.3%, or 6.3% at constant currency, with 11,479 employees at year end. In October 2026 the company said an audit committee investigation into the accounting treatment of certain customer and supplier agreements would lead it to restate its fiscal 2026 interim results, that previously issued fiscal 2026 guidance should no longer be relied on, and that it did not expect to file its 2026 annual report by the 2 November 2026 deadline. Endava's core market is payments and financial services, where it builds and modernises transaction platforms.

11

Thoughtworks

Best for: Engineering-culture change and complex custom software

Thoughtworks was taken private by funds advised by Apax Partners in a transaction completed on 13 November 2024, at US$4.40 per share and a value of approximately US$1.75 billion. As a result it no longer publishes financial results. Its last full-year report, for 2023, showed revenue of US$1,126.8 million, a decline of 13.1% from 2022. At the time of the take-private the company described itself as having more than 10,000 employees across 48 offices in 19 countries. Its Chicago address is the business address listed in its SEC filings. Because its last public figure is three years old, it is placed at the end of this ranking.

Developments in 2025 and 2026

Three patterns stand out in the most recent results. First, AI work is now reported as a distinct source of revenue: BCG attributes more than 40% of revenue to AI- and technology-focused services, Grid Dynamics reports AI revenue above US$90 million, and Globant reports recurring revenue from AI Pods. Second, growth among the engineering-led firms has diverged. EPAM grew strongly but largely through acquisitions, Kainos and Grid Dynamics grew by double digits, and Globant and Nagarro grew by less than 3% in reported terms.

Third, governance and ownership have changed for several firms. Thoughtworks has been private since November 2024, and Endava announced in October 2026 that it would restate parts of its fiscal 2026 results after an audit committee investigation.

Frequently asked questions

What is the largest digital transformation company?

By published revenue, Deloitte's global network (US$74.5 billion in the year to May 2026) and Accenture (US$74.18 billion in the year to August 2026) are the largest. The figures are not directly comparable: Deloitte's total includes audit and tax, while Accenture's includes managed services. Accenture's consulting revenue alone was US$36.88 billion.

What does a digital transformation consultancy do?

It helps an organisation change how it operates and serves customers using software, data and AI. Typical work includes defining a transformation strategy, redesigning processes and customer journeys, replacing or modernising core systems, building new digital products and data platforms, and training staff.

How do engineering-led firms like EPAM or Globant differ from strategy firms?

Engineering-led firms are organised around software delivery teams and are usually engaged once the direction is set, to build and modernise platforms. Strategy firms such as BCG begin with business-model and operating-model questions and add technical build teams where needed. EPAM, for instance, reported about 56,600 delivery professionals out of roughly 62,850 employees at the end of 2025.

Is Thoughtworks still a public company?

No. Thoughtworks was acquired by funds advised by Apax Partners in a transaction completed on 13 November 2024, at US$4.40 per share and a value of about US$1.75 billion. Its shares no longer trade, and it no longer publishes financial results. Its last full-year revenue report was US$1,126.8 million for 2023.

Why are McKinsey and Publicis Sapient not ranked?

This list orders firms by annual revenue figures that could be verified from a primary source such as a results release or filing. No firm-level revenue figure meeting that standard was found for McKinsey & Company or for Publicis Sapient, which reports within Publicis Groupe.
