Key Findings & Highlights:
Accenture’s IoT practice was formally established in December 2014, although Accenture had previously been active in the M2M space.
This practice is part of the Accenture Mobility (AM) unit within Accenture Digital(AD), a business set up by Accenture in January 2014. AD's other units are Accenture Interactive and Accenture Analytics. AM is a sizeable unit within Accenture Digital; NelsonHall estimates the headcount of AM to be ~6k at the end of FY16.
AM owns Accenture's IoT services service portfolio and capabilities. It delivers IoT services directly and can also call upon the capabilities of other units within AD, mostly those of Accenture Analytics (AA). AA is also a sizeable unit, with a NelsonHall estimated 18.5k headcount.
