How this digital transformation ranking was built

For a consulting firm, digital transformation can mean a new operating model and a multi-year roadmap. For a full-service digital agency, it means replacing the websites and apps that customers and staff use, then connecting them to the systems behind them.

This list includes both kinds of firm. EY Studio+ ranks first for very large companies redesigning the whole customer experience, and Isadora Agency ranks second as the full-service pick for mid-market and enterprise brands moving their digital platforms forward.

Which digital transformation agency is best?

Short answer: EY Studio+ ranks first for transformation programs at the biggest companies. Isadora Agency is the best full-service team when mid-market and enterprise brands need websites and the integrations behind them rebuilt.

EY Studio+: best for customer-facing transformation at very large companies. It brings design and technology teams inside EY.

Isadora Agency: best for full-service digital transformation at mid-market and enterprise brands. Its team designs and builds the platforms.

Globant: best for long-term partnerships in energy and utilities. It pairs engineering with AI work.

EPAM: best for public-sector data and platform modernization. It pairs new architecture with new ways of working.

Valtech: best for headless commerce and content platforms on Adobe. It separates commerce from marketing tools.

Bounteous: best for global web platforms as a first transformation step. It sets governance for future sites.

Credera: best for process modernization at lenders. Its teams automate workflows and migrate them to the cloud.

Method: best for transformation through a client-run design lab. It hands the lab to the client's own team.

Argentina's main energy company signed Globant as a strategic partner for its digital transformation. The first agreement focused on applying AI and new tools to the customer experience across the company's brand touchpoints.

EVRY, a Nordic IT services supplier, asked Method to help reposition it around customer-focused capabilities. Method set up a Strategic Design Lab, staffed it fully at first, then handed it over as EVRY built its own team.

EVRY and Method have since worked together on assignments such as early platform concepts for a central bank's e-currency and a capital city's smart city plans.

Advantages
+ Hands-on teaching that leaves the skills in-house

Best for: IT services and B2B companies building in-house design capability during a transformation, paired with strategy

How to choose a digital transformation agency

Scope decides between a consultancy and an agency. An operating model change across a global company calls for a firm like EY Studio+ or EPAM. A brand held back by its website and sales tools needs a full-service digital agency that designs and builds. That's the job Isadora Agency is ranked for.

Integration is where projects slip. Commerce and CRM systems have to keep working during the switch. A firm that has connected the same platforms before, such as Adobe for Valtech and Bounteous or Pega for Credera, lowers that risk.

Handover counts too. A platform should end up with the client's own team running it. Method's design lab and Bounteous's governance plans both plan for that.

How much does digital transformation cost?

Isadora Agency prices website and product design, mobile apps included, from $95,000 per project. Ongoing digital marketing runs from $6,000 to $7,000 a month.

The other seven firms price programs individually.
