L3Harris Technologies (NYSE:LHX) announced a strategic
collaboration with Accenture (NYSE:ACN) to accelerate its
technology reinvention. The initiative, part of L3Harris’ LHX NeXt

L3Harris will leverage Accenture’s deep industry expertise and
digital skills steeped in cloud, infrastructure, and application
services to drive increased agility, scalability and improved user

IT professionals will join Accenture, where they will benefit from
industry-specific training, new technology and operational skills
development.

automate our IT infrastructure at an accelerated rate,” said
Christopher E. Kubasik, Chair and CEO, L3Harris. “As the industry’s
Trusted Disruptor, we are continually identifying ways to unlock
innovation so that we can deliver even greater value to our
customers.”
This innovation-focused, managed service approach will provide
L3Harris’ business operations, customers and team members with
benefits including:
- Improved cost structure: The new governance of the IT
organization will result in a consolidated, standardized and
modernized IT environment with better financial management.
- Enhanced customer service and delivery: Customers will
benefit from more innovative software, hardware, and systems as
L3Harris continues to reinvest IT infrastructure and application
savings back into the business.
- Enriched talent experience: People in the IT
organization will have access to new enterprise resources, business
systems, training and tools, enabling them to do their best
work.
“Building a strong digital core will enable L3Harris to more
quickly harness the potential of cloud and automation, take its
customer service and people experience to the next level, and
accelerate its ongoing reinvention,” said Julie Sweet, Chair and
CEO, Accenture. “We are excited to work together to help L3Harris
optimize operations, drive growth and reach new levels of
performance across the business.”
