#accenture manila

After a series of calls and text messages, the program supervisor called me asking to verify an alleged layoff at Accenture Manila that very day. The reason behind was that Accenture Manila has become overcrowded with project developers and consultants with no assignments or have prior projects that have been canceled or indefinitely put on hold. This development may not be a big surprise as Accenture (like many other multinational companies in the country) has been doing some belt-tightening measures since last year. Globe has partnered with Grab to improve its mobile network by collecting real-world data from daily trips across Metro Manila. Accenture has agreed to acquire Ookla for USD 1.2 ‌billion in cash. "By acquiring Ookla, we will help our clients across business and government scale AI safely and build the trusted data foundations they need to deliver the reliable, seamless connectivity that creates value." Accenture CEO Julie Sweet states. Ookla CEO Stephen Bye states: "Joining Accenture will allow us to scale our premiere network data business across the world’s largest enterprises and accelerate our goal of creating better connected experiences." The acquisition is subject to regulatory approval and financial terms were not disclosed. According to a source from the inside, Accenture has been doing some belt-tightening rounds lately especially in their solutions division.
