Accenture buys Budapest industrial software group
The acquisition of the privately-held group, which employs over 1000 people, will strengthen Accenture’s skills in the industrial software and automation market for industrial companies and will support Accenture’s mobility-driven connected products initiatives.
The evopro group has operations in Germany, Hungary, Romania and Turkey and provides services for embedded software used widely in the industrial and medical equipment, automotive, building, logistics and transportation industries. “The combination of evopro group’s software and engineering experts and Accenture’s industry knowhow will create a unique value proposition for industrial companies demanding fast, efficient and reliable software development and automation solutions,” said Csaba Meszaros, president and CEO of evopro group.
“This acquisition will strengthen our capabilities in the industrial software solutions market, where we see increased interest from our clients for software development and related IT services,” said Eric Schaeffer, senior managing director with Accenture. “evopro group has a highly skilled workforce with deep expertise in software development, testing, and implementation, as well as automation solutions. It will also strengthen our mobility-based capabilities as we continue to build innovative connected solutions for clients across industries where embedded software is a differentiating capability.”
This is Accenture’s third acquisition that will enhance its range of capabilities for manufacturing clients. These include organizing, developing and managing the processes needed for the entire lifecycle of new products and services, bringing them to market more quickly and efficiently. Accenture recently acquired PRION Group and in October announced plans to acquire PCO Innovation, two system integration companies specializing in the delivery of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) services.
