Accenture Federal Services Wins $341 Million Contract to Help the Department of Commerce Modernize and Consolidate Its Core Business Systems

ARLINGTON, Va.; June 15, 2020 – Accenture Federal Services (AFS), a subsidiary of Accenture (NYSE: ACN), has been awarded a $341 million contract to help the U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC) modernize its core business systems and data platform to centralize administrative functions and support real-time business decision making. The contract, under the DOC’s Business Applications Solution (BAS) program, will run for one base year, with 19 option years.

Under the terms of the contract, AFS will help the DOC consolidate its core finance, acquisition, property, enterprise data warehouse and other business systems into a commercial software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform in a hosted environment. The consolidated platform, supported with data warehouse and business intelligence solutions, will increase the DOC’s visibility into its enterprise-wide financial activities.

“The Department of Commerce’s plan to modernize its business systems enables the agency to gain a more complete picture of its budget and spending trends and improve financial decision-making,” said John Goodman, Chief Executive Officer, Accenture Federal Services. “We’re delighted to support them using proven commercial platforms to consolidate their business and back office applications into a single suite of systems.”

The centralized customer-centered approach to business systems modernization will enable the DOC to consolidate its enterprise-wide data while also enabling its finance data users to delve deeper into real-time financial analysis, including trend and root cause analysis.
