According to ISG, the likes of Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Kyndryl, HCL Technologies, WiPro, InfoSys, Capgemini, Accenture and DXC Technology rank among the leaders in the U.S. data center services market. Plenty of recognizable names populate the challenger tier – think Rackspace, HPE, and Tech Mahindra – but only one earned the designation of Rising Star: LTIMindtree.
