Global professional services company, Accenture (NYSE:ACN) has acquired Nautilus Consulting, a leading digital healthcare consultancy based in the United Kingdom.
The financial terms of the acquisition, however, remain undisclosed. Reportedly, this move by Accenture will substantially reinforce its capabilities in digital transformation, implementation, and optimisation, particularly within the healthcare sector, both in the United Kingdom and on a global scale.
Renowned for its Electronic Patient Record (EPR) solutions, Nautilus Consulting will join Accenture's Health Strategy & Consulting team in the U.K.
