Accenture and RSA Extend Existing Business Process Outsourcing Agreement

LONDON; March 12, 2009 — Accenture (NYSE: ACN) has extended for two additional years its contract to provide RSA UK with insurance business process outsourcing (BPO) services.

Under the original contract, signed in 2003, RSA outsourced to Accenture front-line customer service as well as back-office administration services across RSA’s sales, service, claims and customer accounting functions, supporting direct, affinity and broker customers. The initial agreement was scheduled to expire in 2010, and under terms of the agreement, Accenture will continue to provide these services through 2012.
