IT services Managed Services book-to-bill measures Managed Services new bookings relative to Managed Services revenue.
Accenture reported $43.67B of Managed Services new bookings in fiscal 2026 and a 1.2 book-to-bill.
Managed Services bookings outpaced recognized revenue
The ratio was above one and higher than Consulting's 1.1 book-to-bill.
That points to stronger bookings relative to recognized revenue, not necessarily faster near-term revenue conversion.
Contract duration matters
Managed-services arrangements can span longer periods than consulting projects, so book-to-bill should not be read as a one-year revenue forecast.
Read it with Managed Services local-currency revenue growth and new bookings local-currency growth.
