Accenture Closes Three Deals in One Week

IT consultancy Accenture had a pretty good run last week, according to a Trefis report that says the company closed three high-profile deals in just seven days.

Accenture’s first agreement was with Nordea, the largest banker in the Nordic region. The latter hired the firm to develop and maintain applications that will help improve its business over the course of the next five years: the deal covers risk management and HR applications, plus the upkeep of its existing compliance reporting tool.

Accenture was also chosen by India’s Department of Electronics & Information Technology, which is looking to boost the nation’s role in the global semiconductor industry. The department is looking to attract investments of between $7 billion and $ 10 billion from global tech leaders that want to get into the semiconductor fabrication business, putting Accenture in charge of proposal review and most of the administration involved in the process.

Last but not least, the service provider announced last week that it has reviewed a lucrative contract with the Japan Pension Service to manage its recording system. It holds 1.2 billion paper records and 300 million digital records, a mass that requires 29 offices and 18,000 employees to handle it.

Accenture’s positive momentum managed to gain traction through the weekend, and this morning a release announcing a fourth agreement with Guardia Civil. Spain’s largest police force contracted the company to help expand its operations and investigations management with 12 additional data sources. Guradia analyzes and cross-references information about different cases and reports from the field to better identify leads.

“The integration of new information sources into our policing operations and investigative systems will ensure that high-quality data and consistent information is delivered to our police force in real-time to support policing activities across Spain,” said D. Candido Cardiel, Director Adjunto Operativo at Guardia Civil.
