IBM consultants are not on site. It wouldn't be possible for them to be on site because as a consultant you typically do not have just one client doing one assignment for 6+ months. The "consultants" that need to be on site for extended periods of time aren't doing consulting, and they are called contractors not consultants. Accenture and all those sorts of companies are not actually consultancies, they are outsourcing firms that adopted the term to give a positive spin to being a meet grinder. IBM mostly does consulting, they spun off a lot of contracting and on site stuff when they ditched Kyndryl, but even before they ditched Kyndryl GTS wasn't generally deploying people to a customer site unless there was an urgent problem with hardware.
