Accenture and Microsoft Clinch Outsourcing Award

Accenture provides integrated finance and accounting services to Microsoft, a relationship that is generating huge benefits for the software giant.

The panel of independent judges wrote: “Outsourcing is tough to do well, but it is really difficult to do phenomenally. For an example of a services provider that not only passed the test but ‘aced’ it—look no further than the partnership between Accenture and Microsoft. Their services delivery collaboration is now in its fourth year and spans the globe, touching almost 100 countries; covers multiple processes; and is based on a clear vision. The result the teams have managed to achieve serve as a benchmark to all the rest of the players in the industry.”

Shared Services & Outsourcing is the largest and most established community of shared services and outsourcing professionals, providing a roof under which key industry experts and organizations share their experience, knowledge and tools, and peers connect with each other all over the world, face-to-face and online. Its annual Shared Services Excellence Awards honor, recognize and promote both captive and outsourced shared services that demonstrate winning practices.
