About us Business Partners Accenture
MARSH

Accenture is one of the world's leading management consulting, technology services and outsourcing companies. With around 140,000 people operating in some 48 countries, we're a truly global force.

What does Accenture actually do? Simple. We use the combined talents of our people around the world to help businesses and governments improve the way they perform.

Broader involvement, deeper impact

We could be advising clients on how they can improve their processes or enabling them to put massive strategic change programmes in place. And the end product might be anything from an e-commerce website or an e-procurement system to a completely new IT infrastructure for a major blue-chip organisation. The variety is as great as the responsibility.

Meeting complex challenges like these usually involves applying the very latest information technology. And because of our flexible matrix structure (we function as a network of complementary businesses that combine to offer clients the blend of specialist skills that meets their needs precisely) you'll find yourself collaborating with a different group of talented colleagues on every project you tackle.

Accenture generated net revenues of US$16.65 billion for the fiscal year ended 31 August 2005. It makes you think.

We've been consistently voted one of the leading graduate employers in The Times Top 100 Graduate Employers. It makes you think.

Your development is inextricably linked to ours, so it's fair to say that our heavy investment in this area is not entirely unselfish. That said; we pride ourselves on enabling our people to get the most out of their work and on the fact that they tend to want to stick around and build long-term careers with us. As well as the latest and best training & learning, we also offer career counselling and mentoring to help you decide where you want your skills to take you. Plus our performance management programmes will keep you up to speed on your progress, as will our range of communication & feedback initiatives. More Information

Quote from Charlotte Connatty, Analyst, Communications & High Tech:

'I am currently on an ADP assignment which I started in January 2007.
- I'm the project manager for a wind and solar trial in Namibia, Southern Africa
- I work with the local mobile phone operator here to see if alternative powers can feasibility support mobile base stations and help to connect the most remote and off-grid locations in the country with mobile technology
- It is very different to standard Accenture projects in the UK, but there is a network of people in the UK, USA and China who I work with from Accenture to help deliver the goals of the project
- it's been amazing to see how skills and knowledge can be transferable and applicable even in the most unique locations!
- I return back to the UK practice on 23rd July.'
