Accenture has bagged a five-year IT and application management contract from ITV, a UK-based advertiser-funded, free-to-air broadcaster. Under the agreement, Accenture will provide ITV with core IT service management, infrastructure and application management services.
ITV plans to transition its desktop services, help desk, and data center management to Accenture later in 2010. Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
Richard Cross, group technology director at ITV, said: “ITV is transforming its business, and working with Accenture will provide us with the flexibility we need as our business changes. Their deep experience in web TV, over-the-top services and the digital supply chain will help us as we look to transform our business.”
Stuart Orr, client account director for ITV at Accenture, said: “ITV selected Accenture for two key reasons: Accenture’s ability to deliver the IT infrastructure and applications management services needed and Accenture’s deep experience in the broadcast industry, and our innovative vision in the areas of digital TV and the digital home.”
Will ITV benefit with Accenture services?
