Accenture’s Continued Investment and Expansion through M&A During COVID-19

  • Accenture’s growth strategy is heavily reliant on inorganic growth and has always focused on constantly building out and expanding its digital capabilities, a strategy that has paid off during COVID-19
  • Of its 19 transactions so far in 2020, 12 have come since the global shutdowns and WFH mandates back in mid-March, showing that the increased need for digital connectivity and capabilities in a remote work environment is resulting in robust M&A activity within the digital transformation space, despite general uncertainties and fear of economic impact driven by COVID-19
