Accenture CEO Pierre Nanterme has emphasised the importance of his company’s digital pursuits, as Accenture reported a 30 per cent increase in digitally-derived revenues in its most recent quarter.

He pointed out that digital work now accounts for 20 per cent of his organisation’s total $7.8 billion in revenues, a percentage that is likely to grow over the coming years.

“We’re not using any more, or much more, the terminology of consulting and outsourcing,” he’s stated.

Accenture are currently undertaking a number of exciting digital projects across a wide range of industries, for clients such as Pizza Hut, Rio Tinto, healthcare businesses and a leading global shipbuilding company.

Having said that, consulting and outsourcing are still key to Nanterme’s future vision: “When we created Accenture Operations, we created a very unique capability in the marketplace. I don’t believe that anyone else has been building a similar capability with two major capabilities in it, one, which is around infrastructure services, where you will find as much consulting and outsourcing in it.

So it’s a combination of services from cloud-related services leveraging the Accenture Cloud platform from high value services in security and from indeed infrastructure outsourcing.”
