A Message from Frank B. Modruson
Accenture Chief Information Officer
Welcome to our 2012-2013 report on how Accenture does IT. Thank you for your interest in our work.
The major IT news across Accenture and among our clients is how visual communications is changing the way we all work together. No longer a rare occurrence, videoconferencing is now the norm inside Accenture and increasingly among our clients as well. Some 150,000 of our professionals are enabled today to conduct video calls from their laptops with a single click. Already, 179 client organizations are “federated” with Accenture, enabling seamless, face-to-face daily communication and collaboration.
The impact of visual communications on the way we work cannot be overstated. Tangible business benefits, including less travel, lower travel costs, and more face time with colleagues and clients, all translate into greater efficiency and substantial savings. The intangible benefits — stronger collaboration, faster problem resolution through real-time face-to-face interaction, an enhanced balance between work and life, and advancing environmental stewardship — are immeasurable.
In this report you can see the full spectrum of videoconferencing tools we are using today.
In addition to our trailblazing efforts on video, this report updates you on several other important IT innovations we introduced this past year in response to trends in mobility, the consumerization of IT, and social media. These achievements reflect the work of thousands of professionals across Accenture’s internal IT organization. I thank them all for their outstanding contributions to Accenture’s success. We all can take justifiable pride in providing our colleagues and clients with the very best that technology has to offer, further enabling high performance for all.
Seeing really is believing. So come and see what we are seeing and doing at Accenture. We welcome your inquiries.
