Accenture is buying PureApps, a UK-based Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) provider. The acquisition is planned to build Accenture’s end-to-end EPM capabilities. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
PureApps specializes in implementing performance management solutions based on the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management and Oracle Business Analytics range of products. The company enables CFOs to report and analyze enterprise performance, accurately forecast business results and work with business units to transform these insights into action. Its solutions integrate strategy, planning and execution across management and operational systems.
PureApps will be integrated into Accenture’s Finance and Enterprise Performance practice, part of Accenture Strategy. The technical capabilities will complement Accenture’s extensive consulting expertise for the finance function, including its global shared services offering. The combination of the two businesses will strengthen Accenture’s presence in the UK EPM market and support clients in Europe, where demand for EPM-related services is strong, Accenture says.
