One of the world's foremost energy enterprises, BP made a bold move to expand its brand across the North American continent through the integration of two companies nearly as huge as itself: Amoco in 2000 and ARCO one year later. In 1996, some 85 BP professionals joined Accenture's energy team as it began providing financial services for BP downstream operations in the United States. Accenture's outsourcing business takes key non-core processes such as finance and accounting and turns these cost centers into high-value service centers by arming freshly motivated people with the necessary practices and proprietary methodologies. From these origins, Accenture's team has now multiplied six times over to number nearly 500 professionals working at Accenture Delivery Centres in Houston at Granite Park and in Alaska. The way this growth occurred reflects both BP's astonishing pace and Accenture's readiness to swiftly evolve and innovate to make BP's vision happen.
