Why We Formed the Accenture & Cisco Business Group
Technology leaders are coping with a downpour of challenges: legacy infrastructures, business transitions (mergers and restructuring), new markets, rapid globalization, new sourcing models and even regulatory and compliance pressures. And they are in the middle of a wave of evolution in next-generation data center solutions, virtualization environments, adaptive infrastructures and changes in almost every form of communications. CIOs must gauge every turn against cost-reduction, top- and bottom-line growth, immediate payback and long-term value.
The Accenture & Cisco Business Group supports the change agendas of today’s forward-looking IT leaders by combining Accenture’s industry-specific understanding of how technology affects people, applications and business processes and Cisco’s advanced and emerging technologies into a single, integrated organization.
Said Andre Hughes, Global Managing Director for Accenture & Cisco Business Group: “We formed the Accenture & Cisco Business Group to provide a seamless services team that can help clients improve their performance and competitiveness by making it easier for them to harness technology as they adapt to new ways of working.”
