HISTORY:
Continuous innovation and rapid transformation have been themes throughout Accenture's history. Established in 1989 primarily as a technology consultant and systems integrator, Accenture soon began offering a new breed of business integration solutions to clients—solutions that aligned organizations' technologies, processes and people with their strategies.
Throughout its history, Accenture has expanded its offerings and capitalized on evolving management trends and technologies to benefit its clients. The company pioneered systems integration and business integration; led the deployment of enterprise resource planning, customer relationship management and electronic services; and has established itself as a leader in today's global marketplace.
Joe W. Forehand, a partner with 30 years of experience, was named CEO in November 1999 and chairman of Accenture's board of directors in February 2001. Under Forehand's leadership, Accenture became a public company in July 2001 when it listed on the New York Stock Exchange. After nearly five years as CEO, Mr. Forehand stepped down from that position on Sep. 1, 2004, retaining the position of chairman. He was succeeded as CEO by William D. Green, a partner with more than 26 years of experience at Accenture, who had previously served as chief operating officer of client services.Today Accenture is a global management consulting, technology services and outsourcing company, with net revenues of US$16.65 billion for the fiscal year ended Aug. 31, 2006.
