Accenture Federal Services has completed its acquisition of Cognosante, following the April 15 announcement of its intent to purchase the company.
Cognosante delivers technology solutions to federal clients in healthcare, serving veterans, active-duty military and other beneficiaries. This acquisition allows Accenture Federal Services to establish a new federal health portfolio.
This new portfolio will help deliver solutions that drive better health outcomes and more accessible, equitable healthcare experiences.
“The health market is a unique mission space in the U.S. federal government,” said Accenture Federal Services CEO John Goodman. “With the addition of Cognosante’s industry-leading people and capabilities, and by continuing to draw upon Accenture’s proven commercial innovation in health, life sciences, and insurance, Accenture Federal Services will accelerate impact for our clients and offer greater career growth opportunities for our people as a result of this acquisition.”
The acquisition adds over 1,500 people to Accenture Federal Services’ more than 14,000-person workforce.
