HP keeps top spot in UK SITS rankings

The results season is far from over, but we thought you'd like to see how the 2009 UK software and IT services (SITS) rankings are shaping up. We’ve taken our cues from company quarterly and half-yearly results and trading updates, and projected how we think the major players will have finished the year. We’ll be doing our usual full rankings update mid-year.

We expect little change in the UK Top 10 for 2009, with HP, IBM and Capita likely to retain their positions at the top of the ladder. A superb performance from Capgemini UK at the halfway stage leads us to push them up the rankings, displacing Microsoft in 4th spot, while Atos Origin UK nudges into the Top Ten also with expected double-digit growth.

We still expect to see four India-based players in the Top 25 (TCS, Infosys, Wipro and Tech Mahindra) despite all getting a bit of punishment from BT, a very significant client for all (and a major shareholder of Tech Mahindra, of course).
