Expats.cz is working with Accenture
as an expert in global management
consulting, technology services, and
outsourcing. Accenture is the world’s
largest consulting firm and is the
premier recruiter for multilingual
jobs in a wide range of industry
areas. If you’re an expat at the top of
your professional field, Accenture’s
expertise can help further your
career or get your business started in
Prague.
The company has been operating under the name
Accenture since 2001, but the organization itself has
many more decades of experience in technological
consultancy. The company can even trace its history to
the first commercial installation of a computer, back in
1954. Accenture draws on this long experience in order
to find the best solutions for their clients in a number of
areas.
Visiting Accenture’s web site automatically gives
you a sense of how serious Accenture takes keeping
abreast of latest developments. The company doesn’t
just react to the latest developments but clearly sees
its role as generating and guiding ideas in all aspects
of global business solutions. However, it is not merely
talk. The ideas are about finding the best way to bring
your company into the future. Examples range from
the latest developments in IT to new strategies about
achieving success.
Specifically, Accenture works in four areas for their
clients. They help them enter new markets, increase
revenues in existing markets, improve operational
performance, and deliver their products more
effectively and efficiently. In short, Accenture applies
its knowledge in a range of industries which span from
consumer goods to banking. Regardless of the specific
field, Accenture applies a thorough understanding
to maximize the competitiveness of the client. No
wonder they can claim that their clients include 94 of
the Fortune Global 100 and three quarters of Fortune
Global 500.
Some of Accenture’s clients are among the largest
brands in Central Europe. In all cases, Accenture was
able to offer a range of solutions to a broad base
of clients. Volkswagen, one of the world’s top car
manufacturers and owner of the Czech brand Škoda,
is using Accenture Audit and Compliance Tool. This
tool has allowed Volkswagen to more efficiently
and effectively manage both its payroll and data.
Wizz Air, the Hungarian low cost airline, which is
likely to become one of Europe’s largest airlines, is
another high-profile company which has benefited
from cooperation with Accenture, through one of
Accenture’s subsidiaries, Navitaire.

Besides the relocation package, Accenture has created
a set of internal guidelines which are sent by email to
a new member of staff prior to his/her arrival. This
handbook contains some useful information about
the company and work within Accenture and also
up-to-date information regarding practical matters
related to living in Prague, such as accommodation,
transportation, health and social insurance, taxes, bank
contacts, and a wide range of leisure time activities.
In addition, each new team member is contacted by
the Foreigner Office Coordinator (FOC), a person fully
focused on the support of Accenture’s foreigners
working in Prague. The foreign employee can get
in touch with FOC in case of any question or need
of assistance. The FOC can provide the support in
practical matters linked to the arrival and stay of
new joiners in Prague. Except arrangement of the
transportation to Prague, the FOC is often contacted to
arrange the short term accommodation at the arrival,
and ensures English-speaking contacts at the banks
and doctors.
