Accenture buys Infinity Works

The professional services firm said the acquisition will expand the cloud delivery and engineering capabilities of Accenture Cloud First in the UK. The terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Working across multiple sectors from retail to financial services and some of the largest digital-led projects in national government, Infinity Works helps some of the country's most recognised brands to transform digitally. It provides a range of value-adding services including cloud, data, design and research, mobile, and full-stack engineering.

Headquartered in Leeds, Infinity Works has offices across the UK including Manchester, Edinburgh and London.

The firm employs 440 people including software engineers, data engineers, cloud architects, and cloud certified specialists.

Infinity Works is also an award-winning Elite Services Partner with Snowflake, the data cloud platform — the first partner in the UK & Ireland to be awarded this status.

Karthik Narain, global lead of Accenture Cloud First, said: “Acquiring Infinity Works is a significant step in advancing our Accenture Cloud First strategy and capabilities in the UK, and in achieving our purpose to deliver on the promise of technology and human ingenuity.

“The Infinity Works team brings deep cloud and engineering specialization and increases our ability to leverage cloud-native architectures, applications and methods to help clients innovate and operate with speed and flexibility at scale.”

Paul Henshaw, co-founder at Infinity Works, added: “Ever since Infinity Works was founded, we have used cloud-first approaches to help our customers migrate to the cloud and enable them to digitally transform at scale and speed.

"We are proud of our proven experience of delivering across multiple sectors using a combination of our unique working culture, values, and technical expertise.

"Accenture's resources and capabilities will enable us to better support our customers' digital projects while providing them with the same exceptional levels of service they've come to expect.”
