German Consulting Buy for Accenture

Consulting giant Accenture has acquired Mannheim, Germany-based supply chain, data and analytics consulting firm Camelot Management Consultants, for an undisclosed sum.

Accenture says Camelot's 'deep expertise in supply chain management' will bolster its own ability to 'drive the reinvention of its clients' entire supply chains' - and will bring experience in analytics, data strategy and modernization, including the adoption of AI. Around 700 staff will join Accenture.

Founded in 1996, Camelot is an SAP partner in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, working for clients in the chemicals , life sciences , consumer goods and manufacturing industries. It also has offices in the USA, UAE, India, Poland, Spain and Switzerland. Tobias Regenfuss, Accenture's Technology lead Austria, Switzerland and Germany, comments: 'Today, we are seeing a surge in demand for data and analytics services in supply chain management, strongly driven by increased market volatility and the need for companies to make their logistics more efficient. With our acquisition of Camelot, we will further enhance our capabilities and services to help our clients use technology to address complex and pressing business needs and drive additional value'.

'Accenture's global scale and service portfolio will enable us to bring innovative ideas and solutions to clients' says Libor Kotlik (pictured), Managing Partner of Camelot, 'while creating exciting development opportunities for our people. Together, we will address the key market demand and build lasting value for our clients'.
