As soon as I hear the words "software" and "Accenture" alarm bells start going off in my head. Accenture's model for software development is to get first-year consultants who've had 6 weeks' worth of online training in Java to "architect" the system, then send the implementation to big, cheap teams of pretty talented coders in India. Unfortunately, no matter how talented the coder, building to a specification put together by somebody who doesn't know what they're doing always results in terrible, broken systems. Having worked at companies where they've implemented systems, and seen first-hand the minimal levels of real IT experience they require from the consultants they get to architect software, any mention of Accenture and IT makes me run screaming away.
