Notable Context

The Forrester Wave evaluation is an assessment of the top vendors in the market; it doesn't represent the entire vendor landscape. Additional vendors that Forrester considers to be notable for enterprise clients can be found in the corresponding report: The AI Consulting Services Landscape, Q3 2025. AI consulting services customers may also acquire 11 additional capabilities, such as AI lifecycle management and sustainability, through an AI technical services vendor. The vendors that offer these capabilities through an AI technical services offering are evaluated in The Forrester Wave™: AI Technical Services, Q4 2025.


FAQs

Q: Why do vendors appear one year and not the next?

A: Vendors are included based on: 1) A significant track record for delivering projects in AI strategy and execution (over $250 million in services revenue in the past 12 months), 2) A dedicated set of practices that Forrester considers to be AI consulting services, and 3) Mindshare among Forrester's enterprise clients. Vendors that met the defined inclusion criteria but declined to participate or contributed only partially to the evaluation are scored using primary and secondary research in accordance with Forrester's vendor participation policy and their positioning is published along with participating vendors.
