Accenture has acquired Openstream Holdings and its subsidiaries, Open Stream and Neutral, to help clients reinvent their businesses with advanced digital technologies and become data-driven.
The acquisition will add approximately 1,000 cloud and other digital experts to Accenture’s cloud, digital engineering and manufacturing teams.
