NEW YORK; July 8, 2013Accenture (NYSE: ACN) has entered into an agreement with Predixion Software, a provider of collaborative predictive analytics software, to jointly develop advanced industry and process-specific analytics solutions designed for the needs of business users. The agreement, which is part of a strategic investment Accenture has made in Predixion Software, strengthens Accenture’s ongoing strategy to bring capabilities to its clients that cover the full analytics value chain.

Predixion will provide product development capabilities and technical skills on its predictive analytics platform to support the development of new solutions, which will be marketed to Accenture clients.
