2. Best Buy

Best Buy, a leading multinational consumer electronics retailer, outsourced all its IT operations to Accenture in April 2004.

• Catering Supply chain management
• Adding more features to the Best Buy website
• Improving customer call centers’ vendor management
• Upgrading data and analytics that support the customer-centered initiative
• Enhancing the scope of Best Buy’s IT operations

To add to the mix, Accenture reduced the ownership cost of IT systems by providing Best Buy with a simpler operating OS.

In 2020, Best Buy again joined hands with Accenture to improve its strategic priorities by focusing on technology innovation, talent development, and enhancing its overall operation.
