Accenture plc (ACN - Free Report) yesterday announced that it will acquire SALT Solutions AG, a Würzburg, Germany-based technology consultancy. Financial terms of the deal have been kept under wraps.
SALT Solutions is a certified SAP Gold Partner and provider of IT-system implementation and maintenance services for production, operations and logistics at manufacturing, consumer goods, automotive and chemicals companies. It will join Accenture Industry X with a team of more than 500 employees.
How Will Accenture Benefit?
The buyout complements Accenture’s capabilities in enterprise resource-planning systems and cloud solutions, and will help the company develop cloud-based industrial Internet-of-Things platforms that accelerate and streamline production and logistics, and lessen quality and waste issues along the supply chain.

Accenture has made several acquisitions in different markets with these objectives. They include Callisto Integration in Canada, PLM Systems in Italy, Enterprise System Partners in Ireland and Silveo in France.
