Accenture (NYSE: ACN) is to acquire Myrtle Consulting Group, a Houston, TX-based industrial operations consulting firm.
The amount of the deal – whose completion is subject to customary closing conditions – was not disclosed.
The acquisition will expand Accenture’s manufacturing and supply chain capabilities. Specifically, it will strengthen its ability to transform these areas for clients from initial value assessments and operating model strategies to new business processes and technology solutions. Myrtle’s team will join Accenture Industry X, which helps clients improve how they operate factories and plants.
With Myrtle, Accenture will continue to bolster its digital manufacturing, operations and supply chain capabilities, following the acquisitions of technology consultancy SALT Solutions in Germany, PLM Systems in Italy, Callisto Integration in Canada, Silveo in France and Enterprise System Partners in Ireland.
Led by Edwin Bosso, CEO and founder, Myrtle partners with companies across consumer products, life sciences, chemicals, mining and other heavy manufacturing industries to produce and distribute goods in a safer, more efficient and sustainable way. The firm specializes in optimizing clients’ sourcing, production, supply chain operations and execution. They also have deep expertise in change management methodology, organization design and implementation, leadership development and frontline coaching.
Bosso, who will join Accenture as managing director, is the author of the Amazon best-selling book on business transformation, 6,000 Dreams: The Leader’s Guide To A Successful Business Transformation Journey, published by ForbesBooks.
