NEW YORK and NORTH CANTON, Ohio, June 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Accenture (NYSE: ACN) and Diebold Nixdorf (NYSE:DBD), a global leader in services, software and hardware for the banking and retail industries, announced today the companies have agreed to extend their strategic relationship to accelerate Diebold Nixdorf's multiyear digital and cloud transformation program, which includes streamlining its finance, human resources, IT and sales systems.
The companies' collaboration will unlock approximately $50 million of incremental savings for Diebold Nixdorf through 2023 while improving business productivity, consolidating operations and performance and enabling investment in innovation and growth opportunities. The accelerated program will leverage digital automation tools and empower a more agile and customer-focused workforce.
