Company history
Accenture traces its origins to Andersen Consulting, established in 1989 as the consulting business of Arthur Andersen.[24] In 2000, an arbitration ruling formally separated Andersen Consulting from Andersen Worldwide, and the business announced Accenture as its new name, effective January 1, 2001.[25][26]
Accenture went public on July 19, 2001.[27] In 2000, it and Microsoft established Avanade as a joint venture.[28] In 2009, Accenture plc became the parent holding company, with Accenture Ltd as its wholly owned subsidiary.[29]
From 2013, Accenture identified digital capabilities as a strategic focus and expanded its design and innovation capabilities through its acquisition of Fjord.[30][31] In 2015, it announced the acquisition of Cloud Sherpas to expand its enterprise-cloud capabilities.[32] In 2026, Accenture completed its acquisition of AI firm Faculty.[33] [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33]
