Of note, Persistent outperformed the market in the following criteria by voters: effective execution, creating value for all stakeholders, cultural alignment with enterprise customers and strong collaboration within customer ecosystems.

Through its 2020 “Voice of the Customer” study, ISG surveyed more than 2,000 enterprise customers, across a multitude of leading IT Services providers, to obtain their feedback on the provider service quality. Enterprises were asked to rank providers of established technologies in the areas of collaboration, execution, governance, innovation and people. The chosen enterprise respondents all had direct exposure to providers and represented a broad cross section of industries, company sizes, geographies and areas of responsibility. The winners were selected from 24 service providers that consistently demonstrated the highest standards of customer service excellence in the past year.
