Accenture establishes Adelaide Hub

One of the world’s largest technology and professional services firms, Accenture (NYSE:ACN), has announced it will establish the ‘Accenture Adelaide Hub’, which is expected to create up to 2,000 new jobs over five years.

In a massive coup for the state, Accenture’s move into South Australia will strengthen Adelaide’s position as a global leader in the hi-tech industry.

The investment will include the development of National Security Operations and Cyber Defence capabilities, new Advanced Technology Centres of Excellence in areas such as Oracle, SAP, Splunk and Salesforce and Intelligent Operations capabilities to develop and deploy advanced analytics and artificial intelligence.

It is expected over $1 billion will be injected into the state’s economy, along with thousands of jobs.

Bob Easton, Chairman of Accenture Australia and New Zealand said Adelaide is home to a high-quality labour force, committed business community and a government that embraces new opportunities.

“This makes South Australia an ideal location for Accenture’s latest hub and a new collaborative approach to business and technology.

“Accenture is committed to serve as a key member of the local community, investing and working together with other businesses and educational institutions to assist the South Australian Government in meeting its economic growth targets.

“The Accenture Adelaide Hub will collaborate with Accenture hubs in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Canberra. These locations are connected to more than 100 Accenture innovation hubs and centres around the globe, bringing the best of Accenture’s capabilities, in advanced technologies, intelligent operations and cyber security to clients in Australia."
