NEW YORK and NORTH CANTON, Ohio, June 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Accenture
(NYSE: ACN) and Diebold Nixdorf
(NYSE:DBD), a global leader in services, software and hardware for
the banking and retail industries, announced today the companies
have agreed to extend their strategic relationship to accelerate
Diebold Nixdorf's multiyear digital
and cloud transformation program, which includes streamlining its
finance, human resources, IT and sales systems.
The companies' collaboration will unlock approximately
$50 million of incremental savings
for Diebold Nixdorf through 2023
while improving business productivity, consolidating operations and
performance and enabling investment in innovation and growth
opportunities. The accelerated program will leverage digital
automation tools and empower a more agile and customer-focused
workforce. Diebold Nixdorf's
corporate IT systems will be migrated to the cloud, and
improvements will be made to the global processes and applications
for the company's 22,000 employees across more than 100
countries.
"Partnering with Accenture enables us to meaningfully accelerate
our digital roadmap and DN Now transformation program," said
Gerrard Schmid, Diebold Nixdorf's president and chief executive
officer. "Automation, improved applications and more agile
processes will not only provide better operational performance, but
also an enhanced customer experience through new services and
solutions."
According to research from Accenture, leaders in adopting the
latest technologies, including digital and cloud, are unlocking
trapped value and see more than two times the revenue growth than
those who do not.
"In this period of great uncertainty, leaders are seeking ways
to reinvent their businesses and build operational agility in order
to respond to the unpredictable," said Jimmy Etheredge, Accenture's CEO for
North America. "Diebold Nixdorf's bold steps today will help the
company continue to innovate, to drive business performance and
value. We are pleased to partner with Diebold Nixdorf to realize its vision."
The agreement between Diebold
Nixdorf and Accenture is a continuation of the companies'
long-standing relationship to drive and deliver business
transformation across Diebold
Nixdorf.
