The acquisition, according to the New York-based company, will provide Accenture with Maynard's specialized expertise in workforce development and workforce software. Maynard employees, Accenture reports, will be joining the Accenture staff.
"This acquisition is a strategic fit for both Accenture and Maynard and reflects our commitment to further enhance our management consulting practice, particularly around retail stores and distribution, to help our clients become high-performance businesses," said Janet Hoffman, managing director of Accenture's retail practice in North America. "The combination of Accenture's experience with the processes and tools Maynard has developed will help clients achieve operational and workforce efficiency faster and more effectively than ever before."
The deal is slated to be complete by the end of October.
