London/Frankfurt, February 3, 2014 – In their latest report on business operations consulting, major industry analysis firm Gartner has recognized BearingPoint (www.bearingpoint.com) as a “challenger”, which was evaluated with its alliance partners ABeam and West Monroe Partners.

“We believe this industry recognition demonstrates the leadership of BearingPoint, ABeam and West Monroe Partners in delivering innovative solutions to our clients in the supply chain management and operations space.
