Most of EU countries havr some kind of consultancy embedded deep into the their core financial and governments and other critical institutions. The EU commission is full of barely competent consultants developing some sort of applications. Probably getting EY or Accenture to solve the problems is one of the key steps in becoming accepted as a 1st world country.
