KPMG has been recognized as a ‘Leader’ in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Data Modernization Services 2024 Vendor Assessment (doc #US51234424, September 2024).

The report evaluates 27 firms and notes that, “IDC considers KPMG's strategies around offerings, delivery model, client adoption, portfolio, marketing, growth, and employee skills and retention as key strengths.” Adding, “KPMG also showcased strengths in achieving business outcomes for clients with data modernization services through case studies across a variety of geographies, industries, and business functions.”

We are proud of the commitment KPMG firms have demonstrated in building a leading practice focused on helping clients to establish data as a strategic asset. Our focus remains helping clients achieve better business outcomes. In support of this, the IDC MarketScape commented that “the KPMG discovery process ensures that solutions are technologically advanced, high performance, metadata rich, and aligned with the client's business objectives and industry needs”.

Further, “KPMG's advisory offerings for data modernization span five categories: Data, Analytics, and AI Strategy/Value Chain; Data for Business Insights; Powered Data Management; Data Foundation for AI; and Trusted Data. The firm has developed multiple proprietary platforms to deliver data modernization services, including KPMG Modern Data Platform, KPMG Ignite, KPMG Signals utility, KPMG Sofy Suite, KPMG Clara, and KPMG One Data Platform”.

The report continues: “Customers highly regard the company's ability to craft proposals that address their unique needs around data modernization deployment, integrate KPMG's project team with their internal teams, and resolve issues related to customer service.”

Our teams help clients remain laser focused on value creation and the delivery of differentiated customer and employee experiences. By helping clients start with the model answer, KPMG firms help accelerate desired change, with reduced risk.

We believe that our approach, solutions, and commitment to clients sets us apart.


I am proud of the role that we believe KPMG Lighthouse has played in this recognition. Our international team is a collective of data scientists, architects, engineers, developers, and modelers who work solution-oriented alongside KPMG firms’ clients to address enterprise challenges and unlock the value of their data.
