- PhantomGremlin 7y agoThe salty language of these last few comments reminds me of the old FuckedCompany.com website. A guy named "Pud" ran it, and it was great. But I guess he got bored with it. He'd write about Accenture back in the days. And when he did he'd always say: Accenture (pronounced ass-enter). Sigh. Apologies in advance if this is drifting too much into Reddit territory. As for that website redesign, I bet that USA Accenture shipped the actual work off to some third world country, probably India. It seems like standard modus operandi to get stuff back from India that only attempts to meet the bare minimum. E.g. as the article notes, just hardwire Hertz specific stuff, so can't easily deal with sister companies like Dollar and Thrifty. It's a difficult problem to solve with outsourcing. You'll rarely get any sense of ownership from them. And why would you expect any?
