Accenture has completed the acquisition of 6point6, a Manchester-headquartered technology consultancy specialising in cloud, data and cybersecurity.
The tech giant said the acquisition enhances its strategy and architecture capabilities in the UK, with a particular emphasis on central government, defence and security, and financial services.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Founded in 2012, 6point6 has a proven track record of delivering large-scale projects for the UK government and has a staff of approximately 400, with offices in London and Manchester.
6point6’s work includes the largest cloud migration in Europe, with the shift of an entire UK government department to a single cloud-based digital infrastructure.
“6point6 has an impressive reputation across the U.K. public and private sectors with its powerful combination of digital transformation, data and cybersecurity expertise,” said Emma Kendrew, Accenture technology lead in the UK and Ireland.
“With Accenture’s breadth of consulting and technology services, it will add to our innovative team to help clients reinvent themselves with solutions that are fit for the future.”
Nefyn Jones, CEO of 6point6, said: “Since inception, our goal has been to build a leading technology consulting firm where the brightest talent in the industry can make brilliant ideas happen for our clients. This announcement represents the next phase of our growth story.
“In Accenture, we’ve found a partner that thinks, acts, and delivers in the same way that we do. I’m excited at what we can achieve together in the future.”
