Management Consulting
Our management consulting growth platform is responsible for the development and delivery of our strategic, operational, functional, industry, process and change consulting capabilities, working closely with the professionals in our operating groups and the other growth platforms. Our management consulting professionals help large, complex organizations design and execute changes to their business and operating models, either for one or more business units or across the entire organization. This growth platform comprises seven function-based service areas, as well as industry-focused teams of management consulting professionals with deep skills in the numerous industry segments that we serve. The majority of management consulting professionals have a primary focus on either one of the seven service areas or on an industry, with a secondary focus on the other (i.e., industry or service area).

The service areas are as follows:

The professionals in Finance & Enterprise Performance work with our clients’ finance and business unit executives to develop financial transaction processing, corporate finance and business performance reporting capabilities.

The majority of our management consultants—whether in a function-based service area or on an industry management consulting team—have a specific industry alignment, underscoring the strength of our industry assets and experience.

Technology
Our technology growth platform comprises three service areas: systems integration consulting, technology consulting and technology outsourcing.

Systems Integration Consulting
Our systems integration consulting services and solutions include:

Enterprise Solutions and Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”). We implement a variety of application software—including SAP, Oracle, Salesforce.com and Workday, among others—to consolidate operations, streamline business processes, connect geographies and manage and exploit data to make more informed business decisions.

Industry and Functional Solutions. We provide clients with industry and functional solutions that streamline, integrate and manage business processes, systems and information, based on other vendors’ software assets or our own assets. These are typically “add-ons” to our clients’ core ERP systems or software to support industry-unique functions such as trading solutions and billing systems. From design to implementation, these end-to-end services help our clients improve analytics-based decision-making, financial management, customer service excellence, supply chain management and human resource management.

Information Management Services. We provide services to help organizations manage the full range of their information needs to improve data quality, enhance decision-making capabilities and meet compliance requirements across social media, cloud and mobile platforms, as well as legacy environments. Our services include business intelligence; content management and portals; data management; and data quality solutions.

Custom Solutions. With deep skills and expertise in both J2EE (Java-based) and .NET technology architectures, we work with clients to develop custom solutions that meet unique business needs, often using open-source technology products and platforms.

Microsoft Solutions. Together with our alliance partner Microsoft and our Avanade subsidiary, we develop and deliver cost-efficient, innovative business solutions across the Microsoft platform and full set of software, leveraging our deep industry expertise and practical applications of technologies. We have also helped a significant number of clients implement Microsoft’s BPOS (Business Productivity Online Standard Suite) and other cloud-based tools using Microsoft’s Azure platform.

Technology Consulting
Our key technology consulting services and solutions include:

Information Technology (“IT”) Strategy. We help client CEOs and CIOs link IT investments to business results and help manage those investments to ensure that the planned business impact is achieved. We also help CIOs transform how IT works, both internally and with business partners, so that IT is “run like a business” to deliver high performance.

Infrastructure Consulting. We provide solutions to help clients optimize their IT infrastructures—whether on-premise, in the cloud, or a hybrid—while reducing costs. From virtualization of servers and desktops and service integration, to data center operations engineering and enterprise network design and implementation, our services are designed to enable clients to rationalize, standardize, optimize, secure and transform their IT infrastructures for improved performance of mission-critical business processes, applications and end-users.

IT Security Consulting. We help clients integrate security into key business processes and implement security tools and processes so they can become more agile in response to changing market forces and evolving threats. Working with us, our clients are better able to secure data and applications, protect identities, address threats and vulnerabilities, and meet compliance demands while reducing costs and improving efficiency.

Application Modernization and Optimization. We specialize in defining and executing strategies that transform our clients’ application portfolios into rationalized, flexible, cost-efficient and reliable assets. Our services and solutions help clients define and implement innovative approaches to extending the useful life of legacy applications at a significantly reduced cost or help to retire platforms and replace them with more modern, sustainable solutions.

Technology Outsourcing
Our approach to technology outsourcing goes beyond traditional cost-cutting measures to help clients improve the total performance of application and infrastructure development and maintenance. We provide a full range of application outsourcing and infrastructure outsourcing services and solutions:

Application Outsourcing. We provide a wide array of application outsourcing services under flexible arrangements, managing custom or packaged software applications—including enterprise-wide applications such as SAP and Oracle—over their complete development and maintenance lifecycles. Our scope of services ranges from standardized, discrete application outsourcing services—including application testing, application management of enterprise-wide software programs, and capacity services—to large-scale application enhancement and development for individual or multiple applications, or an entire portfolio of applications.

Infrastructure Outsourcing. We provide ongoing management of clients’ IT infrastructure capabilities and functions, with expertise in six service areas: service desk; workplace services; data-center services; network services; security services; and IT spend management. We provide discrete skills (e.g., capacity services) as well as fully managed services. Our services offer clients a more cost-effective, secure and responsive infrastructure that can be scaled and adapted to their business needs.
Accenture helps business leaders and IT leaders define and execute a digital agenda to support their business strategy, harnessing the power of digital technology innovation, including social media, cloud, big data and analytics, and mobility to help the entire organization better compete, innovate and expand. The following initiatives span our three service areas described above:

Cloud Computing. We provide cloud services in three areas to help clients improve IT efficiency and agility: we help clients plan, implement and manage services from our provider ecosystem; we develop Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions built on our proprietary assets; and we provide provisioning, integration and management of services to bridge operations across traditional and cloud environments through the Accenture Cloud Platform. In addition, we help clients implement SaaS, Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) solutions to meet their business needs with the added benefits of increasing flexibility and reducing total cost of ownership. Our cloud methodology and toolset enable delivery of cloud solutions across a wide range of services with leading providers including Amazon Web Services, Google, Microsoft, NetSuite, Oracle, Pivotal, Salesforce.com, SAP, Verizon and Workday.

Mobility Services. Accenture helps clients deliver mobility solutions, which are designed to run their businesses more efficiently so they can focus on improving connections with their customers and workforces. We develop and implement enterprise mobile solutions incorporating strategies, applications, and managed services; create and deliver mobile commerce solutions; and help organizations become digital businesses.

Business Process Outsourcing
Our business process outsourcing (“BPO”) growth platform provides business process services that help clients drive business value, achieve higher levels of performance and results, and/or reduce costs. Through our BPO services, we manage specific business processes or functions for clients, providing solutions that are more efficient and cost-effective than if the functions were provided in-house while also providing business insight to drive business outcomes.
We offer clients across all industries a variety of BPO services for specific business functions and/or processes, including finance and accounting, human resources, learning and procurement, among others. We also offer industry-specific BPO services, such as credit services, designed to address the unique needs of client organizations and deliver business outcomes. We provide these services on a global basis and across industry sectors through our Global Delivery Network.
