Industires
Our experience spans every industry and challenge, which gives us a unique perspective that we bring to every client relationship. We help you see the world differently, discover opportunities you may never have imagined and achieve results that bridge what is with what can be.
Agricultural Business
Agriculture and humankind have transformed each other for millennia, but new factors have altered the balance and accelerated the change. Disruptive technologies, relentless global competition, and urgent ecological concerns are forcing agribusiness leaders to undertake bold innovations that are sustainable—both for the planet and the corporate bottom line.
We can help you meet these challenges, and prosper. With more than 1,250 engagements across every region and sector of the industry, our agriculture consulting teams have the experience to help you grow sustainably, transform your cost structure, or update your operating model.
Our global network of experts will introduce you to the latest advances in regenerative and green agriculture, alternative protein, fermentation, and plant-based protein production. Our deep experience across the entire agricultural value chain means we can help you seize opportunities related to fertilizers, equipment, and biofuels. We’ve helped clients improve yields and capture more profit, whether they produce dairy, seeds, beef, pork, chicken, turkey, fish, or nearly any variety of crops, including corn, wheat, rice, oilseeds, and sugarcane.
Rising global demand and limited arable land mean it’s more critical than ever to maximize your yields and streamline your operating model. We specialize in helping you achieve a self-reinforcing cycle of discipline that merges operational excellence, capital productivity, commercial excellence, technology and data, and organizational capabilities.
We understand that you’re working in a complex business, where competition for alternative fuel sources is fierce. Governmental regulations can change and contradict each other, often threatening to suppress yield and disrupt trade. But you don’t have to navigate these issues alone.
Feeding the world population in the decades to come will require agriculture companies to operate with vision, discipline, and adaptability. We can help you meet every challenge—even those that remain unforeseen.
Cloud Computing
It’s hard to overstate the impact of cloud computing. What was once an intriguing technological option is now essential element of digital transformation. And with experts forecasting continued growth—to the tune of 21% annually through 2024—there’s no sign of a slow-down.
But just because “the cloud” has become a part of everyday conversation doesn’t mean everyone understands it well. Our cloud consultants have worked with nearly 200 companies, across many industries, to integrate private and hybrid cloud opportunities into product development and go-to-market strategies, infrastructure, M&A opportunities, investment decisions, and more. We work with established and next-generation technology companies on cloud strategies that will propel their own growth and help their clients succeed; with financial sponsors who must determine the impact of cloud on current or potential investments; and with CIOs and CTOs who are leveraging the cloud to enhance the way IT services are delivered.
A wealth of client experience combined with proprietary market research, unmatched access to C-suite leaders, and hundreds of dialogues with key players in the cloud ecosystem informs our unique perspective. As a result, we have a clear vison of where cloud is going, and what that means for companies that provide cloud solutions and enabling technologies. We have collaborated closely with our clients to assess the impact and opportunities of cloud computing from every conceivable vantage point. To cite just a few examples, we have helped companies:
-
Analyze user adoption trends
-
Understand how cloud adoption and growth potential varies by market segment
-
Assess which factors are influencing cloud migration strategies across the full spectrum of options
-
Explore user awareness of and views on major cloud vendors, and which factors influence vendor selection and conversion rates
-
Develop strategies for optimizing containers and serverless computing, two emerging trends that will exert a major impact on cloud computing
-
Understand how cloud is altering channel strategies, margins, and opportunities
Our broad expertise ensures that, whatever promise cloud may hold for you, we can help you maximize its potential.

We have helped companies manage costs, transform operations, embrace the latest digital technologies, and seize new market opportunities.

Our seamless global network of experts can provide unparalleled insights into the trends that make IT infrastructure management more complex every day. These include the ongoing shift to cloud, the proliferation of mobile devices and the Internet of Things, and the global battle to strengthen cybersecurity defenses. To stay competitive, IT services firms must help their customers build robust in-house data analytics capabilities, transition to “as-a-service” delivery models, and continue perfecting traditional offerings like remote infrastructure management and application development and maintenance.
We collaborate closely with you to develop new strategies and operating models, transform costs, reinvent supply chains, optimize pricing, and deliver superior customer experiences. We can help you augment your existing capabilities through an M&A strategy that spans target identification, post-merger integrations, and divestment.
Within India’s vast IT services market, we have advised eight of the top 10 IT services providers on their domestic and global operations. And our status as the leading consulting partner to the private equity industry extends to IT services, where we have advised on nearly 50% of the sector’s deals, in every region of the world, providing unmatched due diligence expertise.
