Continuous innovation and rapid transformation have been themes

consultant and systems integrator, Accenture soon began offering a new

organizations' technologies, processes and people with their strategies.
Throughout its history, Accenture has expanded its offerings and capitalized

in today's global marketplace.

CEO in November 1999 and chairman of Accenture's board of directors
in February 2001. Under Forehand's leadership, Accenture became a
public company in July 2001 when it listed on the New York Stock
Exchange. After nearly five years as CEO, Mr. Forehand stepped down
from that position on Sep. 1, 2004, retaining the position of chairman.
He was succeeded as CEO by William D. Green, a partner with more

• IT services provider Accenture Ltd. met net revenue expectations and topped
earnings forecasts in its second fiscal quarter of 2003 thanks in part to strong
growth in its outsourcing business,

• The company had earnings per share of $0.25, exceeding by one cent
analysts‘ earnings expectations.

• BT Group PLC has extended an existing human resources (HR) outsourcing

deal with Accenture Ltd. with a new 10-year contract valued at �306 million
(US$576 million). The deal will cover BT's HR functions in 38 countries for all of
its 97,000 employees and 180,000 BT pensioners.
• Despite growth in its outsourcing business, weakness in its core consulting
business is leading Accenture to cut about 750 employees, or about 1
percent of its 75,000 employees which is primarily affecting senior level
executives in the U.S. and the U.K.

• The company's core business, consulting, continued to slide with a 15

percent net revenue drop to $2 billion, following the market's trend of
depressed prices and low demand for consulting.

enable two-way communications with vehicles, enhance customer service,
accelerate product research and drive overall efficiencies.
