Accenture has announced in its website that it has signed a €12million (approximately US$16.5 million) IT application services agreement with the European Parliament to develop, maintain and support a variety of applications across the Parliament's operations.

The agreement is designed to support the European Parliament's overall information technology strategy and to drive greater operational efficiencies across functional areas such as human resources, finance, logistics and administrative management, Accenture said.
 
"Both businesses and governments are increasingly seeking application development support to ensure their organizations operate to the highest standards to drive efficiencies. For the European Parliament, Accenture will analyze, design, build, test and implement new functions and applications as a managed service over the next four years," said Sean Shine, managing director of Accenture Health & Public Service practice in Europe, Africa and Latin America, in a media release.
