On Sept. 1, Accenture reorganized two of its business units and made a series of leadership changes, including the appointment of a new chief operating officer. Consulting 's senior editor, Jess Scheer, sat down with Kevin Campbell, who will serve as group chief executive of the newly created Technology growth platform. The unit combines the firm's systems integration and technology consulting business, along with application outsourcing and infrastructure outsourcing businesses. Campbell previously served as group CEO of Outsourcing.
Consulting: Why is the Technology group getting realigned?
Campbell: Let me say that, at Accenture, we believe the drive to achieve high performance—both for our clients and for Accenture—is more important today than ever. We believe there are tremendous opportunities ahead of us, and we are aligning our organization to go after them. Creating the new Technology growth platform is designed to support our plans to drive future growth by enhancing our core business and extending our leadership in the market. It is one of three growth platforms, including Management Consulting and Business Process Outsourcing.
Consulting: What will the new platform look like?
Campbell: The new Technology growth platform brings together all of our technology capabilities and services—systems integration, technology consulting, alliances, application outsourcing and infrastructure outsourcing—under one growth platform to provide clients with fully integrated technology solutions.
