Accenture Digital Acceleration Center in Metro New YorkHelping Communications, Media and Technology Providers Accelerate Digital Transformation at Speed

Digital is nothing short of a revolution, particularly for communications, media and technology providers that sit at the center of digital-driven change and face increasingly swift cycles in producing and selling the core components of digital capabilities. These com-panies must be able to apply digital technologies that both innovate and disrupt business models and adapt customer experiences to enable growth in a market that is continuously raising the competitive stakes. In addition, they must be able to anticipate digital trends and

business requirements while simultaneously shrinking the delivery time of digital services and products in order to stay relevant. Their ability to accelerate the entire digital transformation cycle while expanding execution capabilities, timeliness and cost effectiveness is key to survival. As cost pressures mount and as both consumers and employees expect new products, services or offerings in weeks or months rather than years, merely keeping pace just won’t work anymore.

Enter the Accenture Digital Acceleration Centers, a global network of facilities and capabilities that are designed and equipped to help communications, media and technology companies anticipate and transform to the digital future. Smartly. Competitively. And, at speed.
