NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Accenture (NYSE: ACN) is positioned as a leader in the IDC MarketScape analysis of life science sales and marketing IT outsourcing services in 2022.

  • Accenture has 25 delivery centers based in five continents and a large and experienced team of life science professionals.
  • In life science sales and marketing, Accenture is known by its customers for its technical capabilities and life science industry expertise.

The report also mentions Accenture’s INTIENT Patient platform, a product suite that delivers outcome-based services to support patient experiences from pre-diagnosis through ongoing treatment on a mobile digital platform.

Ray Pressburger, a managing director in Life Sciences for Accenture said, “It’s an honor to be recognized by the IDC MarketScape for the value we provide in life sciences sales and marketing IT outsourcing services for our clients. The IDC MarketScape report analysis shows that our deep industry knowledge and breadth of experience allow us to bring insights, design thinking, and human ingenuity together to transform sales and marketing operating models and support our clients’ business growth.”
