Accenture has agreed to acquire cloud and platform development MSP, Objectivity.
The company said that the sale will enable Accenture to meet the new wave of platform engineering projects.
Accenture Cloud First boss Karthik Narain said Objectivity’s strong engineering culture and delivery experience will help clients pivot and launch new products quickly and efficiently.
Objectivity founder Rob Helle said Objectivity has provided innovative thinking to create the most fit-for-purpose digital solutions.
“Our values-driven culture allowed us to successfully become an international, virtual organisation, where clients and employees have been continuously growing together. Joining the Accenture team will enable us to achieve more because we will be stronger together with Accenture.”
The acquisition comes just months after Accenture announced it was planning to lay off 19,000 employees over the next 18 months after a year in which it made 25 acquisitions and increased its headcount by 39,000.
