Question: What are the top IT services companies in Europe, in the sense like Accenture / Infosys, those which are running IT services / outsourcing for banks / big corps etc?

Answer:

The top IT services and outsourcing companies operating in Europe (similar to Accenture and Infosys in scale, providing consulting, managed services, outsourcing, digital transformation, and IT solutions to large corporations, banks, and enterprises) include a mix of global giants with strong European presence and major European-headquartered firms. These companies often serve banking/financial services, manufacturing, public sector, and other large enterprises through large-scale outsourcing contracts, application services, cloud, and AI-driven solutions.

Here are some of the leading ones based on market share, revenue in EMEA/Europe, and industry reports (as of recent 2025-2026 data):

Accenture — The clear market leader in Europe/EMEA for IT services, with extensive outsourcing and consulting for banks and large corps (strong in digital, cloud, and finance sectors).
Capgemini (France) — A major European player, highly focused on digital transformation, cloud, and managed services for banking and large enterprises.
Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) (India-based) — One of the top 3 in EMEA, with significant growth and large outsourcing deals in banking and financial services across Europe.
IBM (with IBM Consulting) — Strong in hybrid cloud, AI, and enterprise services, serving major banks and corporations.
Atos (France) — Focuses on cybersecurity, cloud, high-performance computing, and managed services for large clients.
Infosys — Fast-growing in Europe, with strong presence in Germany/UK and outsourcing for banking/finance.
Sopra Steria (France) — A key European firm with expertise in banking software and IT services for financial institutions.
Deloitte (consulting arm) — Provides IT consulting and outsourcing-like services to large corps and banks.
Other notable mentions: NTT Data, Fujitsu, T-Systems (Deutsche Telekom’s arm, strong in Germany/Europe for enterprise IT), Cognizant, and Wipro — all with substantial European operations in outsourcing and services for big clients.

Many global Indian-origin firms (like TCS, Infosys, Wipro) have large delivery centers and client bases in Europe, competing directly with European natives like Capgemini and Atos for banking and corporate outsourcing contracts.

The ranking can vary by specific metrics (e.g., revenue in EMEA, managed services focus, or banking specialization), but Accenture, Capgemini, TCS, IBM, and Atos consistently appear at the top in reports for large-scale IT services and outsourcing in Europe.
