Company Overview Accenture is one of the world’s leading management consulting, technology services and outsourcing organizations, with more than 246,000 employees; offices and operations in 53 countries around the globe; and revenues before reimbursements (“net revenues”) of $25.5 billion for fiscal 2011. Our “high performance business” strategy is to use our expertise in consulting, technology and outsourcing to help clients perform at higher levels so they can create sustainable value for their customers, stakeholders and shareholders. We use our industry and business-process knowledge, our service offering expertise and our insight into, and understanding of, emerging technologies and new business and technology trends to formulate and implement solutions for our clients. Our strategy is focused on helping clients improve operational performance, deliver their products and services more effectively and efficiently and grow their businesses in existing and new markets. We operate globally with one common brand and business model designed to enable us to provide clients around the world with the same high level of service. Drawing on a combination of industry expertise, functional capabilities, alliances, global resources and technology, we seek to deliver competitively priced, high-value services that help our clients measurably improve business performance. Our global delivery model enables us to provide a complete end-to-end delivery capability by drawing on our global resources to deliver high-quality, cost-effective solutions to our clients. In fiscal 2011, we continued to implement a strategy focused on three dimensions: our core business, which includes the vast majority of management consulting, technology and outsourcing services that we have traditionally provided; strategic initiatives—including analytics, digital marketing, mobility, and smart grid, as well as technology areas such as cloud computing; and geographic expansion. Our geographic expansion strategy focuses on emerging and mature markets with significant growth potential for us. Our priority emerging markets are the ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) countries, Brazil, China, India, Mexico, the Middle East, Russia, South Africa, South Korea and Turkey. Go-to-Market Strategy Our business is structured around five operating groups — Communications, Media & Technology, Financial Services, Health & Public Service, Products and Resources — which together comprise 19 industry groups serving clients in major industries around the world. Our industry focus gives us an understanding of industry evolution, business issues and applicable technologies, enabling us to deliver innovative solutions tailored to each client or, as appropriate, more-standardized capabilities to multiple clients. We manage our business by industry and manage our people by geography. Our three growth platforms—management consulting, technology, and business process outsourcing—are the innovation engines through which we develop our knowledge capital; build world-class skills and capabilities; and create, acquire and manage key assets central to the development of solutions for our clients.

With 151,000 professionals in more than 50 centers, Accenture offices and client locations, the Accenture Global Delivery Network is the largest and most diversified group of management consulting, technology, business process and outsourcing professionals in the world. We team with our clients to meet their current business and IT issues and opportunities drive a new era of innovation. Delivery excellence is about making sure we achieve our High Performance promise for our clients. Our environment of continuous improvement helps us reach ever-higher levels of productivity, precision and predictability. Supported by deep industry, technology and business acumen, and by an unmatched breadth of industrialized capabilities—including processes, methods, tools, architectures and metrics—Accenture delivers game-changing services and solutions to help our clients attain high performance.

For Accenture, global sourcing is not a recent phenomenon. We built our first delivery center more than 25 years ago, in 1985 in Manila, and began our first major outsourcing deal with British Petroleum six years later — managing accounting, finance and support functions from our center in Aberdeen, Scotland. In the early 90’s we pioneered the concept of industrialization and serving our clients through delivery centers rather than working only on-site at the client’s location. By the late 90’s we had greatly expanded our delivery center network around the globe.

Since then, our global delivery capabilities have been further extended and strengthened in Accenture’s Global Delivery Network, from which today we serve many clients from multiple locations. By further applying the concept of industrialization to our global delivery capabilities, we are providing clients with significant value, balancing high-quality services with cost efficiency. All of Accenture’s top 100 clients have work supported through our Global Delivery Network.

The vision and long-term plan for our Global Delivery Network has been to set up delivery centers in strategic locations, which we have been very successful in doing. And, we continue to expand and grow, particularly in strategic and emerging markets. Besides having a leading presence in India, Accenture’s Global Delivery Network includes established centers around the world including in the Philippines, China, the United States, Eastern and Central Europe and Latin America, as well as in emerging locations such as South Korea and Malaysia.
