Global IT consultant Accenture opened three new advanced technology centers in the Mexican state of Yucatan.
The centers, which are located in Merida, Tekax and Valladolid, represent an investment of US$4 million and will create around 1,000 jobs.
The new centers are part of Accenture’s global network of 50 technology centers. They will provide a variety of IT services, including systems integration, application development, data analytics and business processing.
Accenture has been operating in Mexico since 1994. It reportedly employs more than 20,000 people across 10 delivery centers in the country. Its clients include telecommunications company Telmex, banking giant BBVA and several retailing and manufacturing companies.
The IT provider runs larger facilities in Mexico City, Monterrey and Querétaro, where some of its recently acquired subsidiaries are operating.
Insitum, whom Accenture acquired four years ago, specializes in combining design thinking methods with behavioral science. Another of Accenture’s acquisitions in Mexico is Trancom, a supply chain automation company. Trancom’s expertise in supply chain automation will help Accenture to improve the efficiency and productivity of its clients’ supply chains.
In addition to providing IT services, the new centers will help to develop the local technology talent pool. Accenture plans to offer training and development programs to employees at the centers, helping the Mexican state create a more skilled workforce.
