Accenture plans to acquire AFD.TECH

Accenture has announced its intent to acquire AFD.TECH, an independent network services company specializing in network engineering, operations and business services.

This acquisition would add more than 1,600 highly skilled professionals to Accenture globally and will enhance its ability to drive comprehensive transformation across core network, edge and next generation networks including 5G and fiber.

AFD.TECH’s network operations and IT capabilities, as well as its deep industry knowledge, would complement Accenture’s cloud, edge computing, security, and network capabilities to help clients shape, build and operate cloud-first networks.

The newly acquired expertise when combined with Accenture’s Cloud First capabilities would provide a broad spectrum of proven practices, operational excellence and human ingenuity to help clients drive comprehensive transformation across their disparate networks.

Jérôme Picard, Co-Founder and CEO of AFD.TECH said, “Combining our strengths with Accenture would allow us to leverage the potential offered by the latest technologies and to allow an even-broader client base, both existing and future, to grasp the full potential of the range of new services that will be generated by the deep transformation across nearly every industry and market in the next five years. The opportunity to join Accenture would allow us to scale capabilities and enable tremendous opportunity for our clients, our company and our people.”
