Accenture, a professional services company with digital, cloud and security capabilities, announced Oct. 5 it acquired Advoco, a business management consultant with an office in Greenville, for an undisclosed amount.
Advoco is also one of the largest systems integrators for Infor EAM, a software-as-a-service suite for enterprise asset management (EAM). The acquisition expands Accenture’s capabilities to help clients in the consumer goods and services, industrial, life sciences, transit and other industries, which may make their operations and supply chains safer, more sustainable, productive and cost-efficient, according to the announcement.
In addition, the company plans to establish Advoco’s office in the NEXT Innovation Center at 411 Univesity Ridge in Greenville as a center of excellence for Infor EAM delivery, industry use cases and intelligent asset management.
