Agreed. I can't reach the article as the site is down, so my comment may be out of context, but i do agree they're doing something right. I haven't been following their stock price, but i do take the odd glance at their movements.

I was in talks with an employee at a blue-chip here in the UK, about assisting them with their digital strategy. They clearly needed alot of help. Unfortunately a major player swooped in - fast forward 12 months - they've helped them turn things around and now the client is doing great.

Turns out the major player that swooped in was IBM. Who knew IBM was actively doing digital marketing. I mean they're an IT company, right? I.e. networks, servers, software.

I think the reality is, they're a consulting company for big business that will help their clients get anything done and it only has to be remotely technical.

So i think they'll be around for a long time to come.

Right! They are mostly a consulting company now (much like PwC consulting was...), and we should judge them as such. As I'm interested in tech R&D, that makes them completely uninteresting to me, and I don't think they should be valued higher than my current employer (Microsoft), but the market works in mysterious ways.
