Executive Summary

This report provides a detailed, fact-based comparison of the 12 most prominent workplace systems integrators available in the market. Workplace systems integrators provide consulting and implementation services for various technology and software solutions to help clients improve workplace productivity, employee experience and building efficiency. Based on the proprietary Verdantix Green Quadrant methodology, our research spanned 90-minute live briefings, customer interviews, vendor responses to an 82-point questionnaire and data from a survey of 350 real estate decision-makers. The analysis finds that the leaders in the market are offering comprehensive systems integration services that enable their customers to get value from multiple technologies, including integrated workplace management systems (IWMS), workplace mobile apps and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies. The evaluation of service provider capabilities and market momentum reveals that five firms — Accenture, Cognizant, Deloitte, EY and JLL — currently lead the market, while other providers have strong capabilities in specific areas, such as access control, operational technology systems and energy management. Real estate executives and landlords should use this report to help them select the implementation partner best suited to meet their workplace needs.
