Editor's Notes

  • #3 Accenture is a global professional services company with leading capabilities in digital, cloud and security. Combining unmatched experience and specialized skills across more than 40 industries, we offer Strategy and Consulting, Interactive, Technology and Operations services—all powered by the world’s largest network of Advanced Technology and Intelligent Operations centers. Our 537,000 people deliver on the promise of technology and human ingenuity every day, serving clients in more than 120 countries. We embrace the power of change to create value and shared success for our clients, people, shareholders, partners and communities.
  • #4 At Accenture, technology and human ingenuity go hand in hand. When we bring our breadth of technological capabilities together with our people’s ingenuity, they are greater than the sum of their parts.
  • #5 Strategy & Consulting helps transform the world’s leading organizations, working across the C-suite to enhance competitiveness, grow profitability and deliver sustainable stakeholder value.   Interactive helps leading organizations design, build, communicate and run experiences across the entire journey for their customers, employees, patients or citizens.   Technology provides cloud services, systems integration and application management, security services, intelligent platform services, software engineering, and infrastructure services. It also leads our R&D activities (Labs), our investments in emerging technologies (Ventures), and our ecosystem relationships.   Operations runs business processes on behalf of clients – either for specific functions, such as finance & accounting, procurement or marketing, or for specific industries, such as banking, insurance or health care.   We are the only company with the ability to combine and integrate all these capabilities—strategy & consulting, interactive, technology and operations—at scale in an industry context.
  • #6 In today’s fast-changing business environment, where companies need to continually reinvent themselves, we are increasingly leading with innovation in our client relationships to help clients “imagine and invent” their own futures. Our unique approach, through the Accenture Innovation Architecture, enables us to combine our capabilities across the company to develop and deliver disruptive innovations for clients—and to scale them faster. Our innovation capabilities include: Accenture Research identifies and anticipates game-changing business, market and technology trends through provocative thought leadership. We have more than 300 researchers. Accenture Ventures partners with and invests in growth-stage companies that create innovative enterprise technologies, using an open innovation approach. Accenture Labs incubate and prototype new concepts through applied R&D projects that are expected to have a significant near-term impact on clients’ businesses. We have seven labs around the world – in Bangalore, India; Dublin, Ireland; Herzliya, Israel; San Francisco, CA; Shenzhen, China; Sophia Antipolis, France; and Washington, D.C. Accenture Studios build innovative solutions with speed and agility. We have more than 50 Liquid and Digital Studios worldwide. Accenture Innovation Centers demonstrate and re-use innovation use cases and assets, across more than 40 industries. Accenture Delivery Centers scale innovations across the business through our unparalleled network of delivery centers around the world.
  • #7 Our intellectual property portfolio is a key indicator of our innovation, as well as an important asset that drives differentiation and value for us in the marketplace. Over the years, we have made a significant investment in R&D in cutting-edge, disruptive technologies. We now have 7,900+ patents and pending patent applications in 45+ countries. We have strong IP positions in applied intelligence, automation, blockchain, cybersecurity, digital assistants, the ‘Internet of Things’ and other platforms  
  • #8 The chart shows acquisitions we have made since FY17. [updated March 2021] We have stepped up our acquisition activity significantly, deploying a total of more than $6B in the last five years. We usually make acquisitions for one of three reasons: To build our capabilities in the New more rapidly (digital, cloud and security) To deepen our industry expertise, typically in consulting To scale and gain a leadership position
  • #9 We are always looking ahead to anticipate and capture the next big waves of innovation – in areas such as extended reality, blockchain and quantum computing – to drive differentiation and make Accenture even more relevant to our clients: Extended reality (XR) – including virtual reality, augmented reality and newly developed immersive technologies – connects and engages users at deeper, more meaningful levels through combined physical/virtual environments leveraging wearable technology. Distributed ledger and blockchain technology fundamentally changes how data is managed, moving from a scenario where each organization maintains its own copy of a data set to one where everyone has controlled access to a shared copy. Quantum computing greatly enhances how information is stored and processed, allowing it to perform more efficient algorithms and offering the possibility of vastly outpacing traditional computing methods.
  • #10 We operate at the heart of our clients’ businesses, helping address their most complex, mission-critical issues. We have relationships with more than 6,000 clients, and serve 91 of the Fortune Global 100 and more than three-quarters of the Fortune Global 500. We are proud that 97 of our top 100 clients have been clients for at least 10 years. These long and deep relationships allow us to create demand – about 70% of our work sold is sole-sourced.
  • #11 Our industry leadership is best in class. Our industry capabilities are organized around 5 industry groups that serve clients globally in more than 40 industries. The five industry groups are Communications, Media & Technology; Financial Services; Health & Public Service; Products; and Resources. We are known for the depth of our industry insight and solutions.
  • #12 At Accenture, we have understood the power of platform technologies for a long time and have been increasing our own capabilities and broadening the number of platforms with which we partner. We have a privileged position in the technology ecosystem, at the intersection of business and technology. As the world’s largest independent technology services provider, we are agnostic about technology but have very clear viewpoints about what is most appropriate for a client’s particular challenge. Our aim is to deliver tangible value at the greatest speed in the market. We do this through a unique combination of capabilities we have developed: the most advanced technological skills in the market; the deepest relationships with platform partners; and the strongest insights into the way whole industries work and how functions are evolving within every business. We are the leading partner of many key players, and are a leading systems integration partner for SAP, Microsoft, Oracle, Salesforce and Workday, as well as with emerging technology partners. And through our Avanade joint venture, we deliver more Microsoft technology than any other company in the world. Together with our alliance partners, we drive continuous innovation across our business … from shaping new digital strategies … to enabling liquid and agile ways of working … to running and automating digital processes. And we are at the forefront in the evolution of new delivery models, offering differentiated digital-related services, in the cloud, driven by industry-rich intelligent tools and platforms.
  • #13 And we are famous for delivery. The scale and scope of our global delivery capabilities are unmatched in the marketplace, delivering innovative, high-quality, industry-specific solutions for our clients. Our deeply skilled professionals work from more than 50 delivery centers and at client sites around the world.

  • #17 Our core values guide how we behave and make decisions: Stewardship – Fulfilling our obligation of building a better, stronger and more durable company for future generations, protecting the Accenture brand, meeting our commitments to stakeholders, acting with an owner mentality, developing our people and helping improve communities and the global environment. Best People – Attracting, developing and retaining the best talent for our business, challenging our people, demonstrating a “can-do” attitude and fostering a collaborative and mutually supportive environment.
