Accenture Completes Acquisition of PCO Innovation

Accenture has completed its acquisition of PCO Innovation – an independent international consulting and systems integration group that specializes in product lifecycle management (PLM) software technologies. The acquisition enhances Accenture’s deep industry capabilities and the full range of services it provides clients in the design, building and management of systems and processes essential to driving their large-scale PLM transformation programs.

PCO Innovation’s employees focus on supporting clients as they organize, develop and manage new products and services throughout their lifecycle, helping them bring them to market more quickly and efficiently. This acquisition follows the completion of another PLM-related acquisition by Accenture of PRION Group in October, and announced plans to acquire the industrial and embedded software development and services business of evopro group.

“Accenture’s experience with clients has shown that PLM can get products into the market faster and more efficiently, increasing the speed of product launches by up to 55 percent and reducing operational and product development costs by 10–30 percent,” said Jean-Laurent Poitou, senior managing director, Accenture.

Accenture has successfully served more than 250 clients across a wide range of industries since 1989. It draws on a range of alliances with top-tier product lifecycle management vendors, and a worldwide network of solution centers.
