Plano-based Award Solutions, a provider of training and consulting services in advanced wireless and network technologies, has been acquired by Dublin, Ireland-based professional services company Accenture.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Award Solutions, founded in 1997, has employees in Las Cruces, New Mexico; Branson, Missouri; San Diego, California; and Bangalore, India.
“Our shared vision with Accenture aligns perfectly with our mission of empowering companies to succeed in a rapidly evolving technology landscape and transform their business,” Satyajit Doctor, co-founder and president of Award Solutions, said in a statement. “Joining Accenture extends our reach and impact to more learners, and offers them the tools and expertise to lead the future of telecommunications and digital infrastructure.”
Award Solutions offers specialized in-person, virtual, and self-paced training skills development programs to global telecom and technology providers, enabling them to leverage the latest technologies including 5G, artificial intelligence, automation, data visualization, machine learning, and network virtualization for the telecom industry.
The company said that as AI, 5G, and cloud technologies become increasingly important parts of organizations’ digital cores, demand for highly skilled professionals capable of designing, implementing, and effectively managing these advanced networks should continue growing.
As part of the acquisition, Award Solutions’ team of 29 professionals joins Accenture LearnVantage, a comprehensive technology learning and training service. The service enhances training modules tailored to the unique needs of network leaders, network operations and performance engineers, and IT professionals in the telecom space.
“Award Solutions’ track record in providing targeted, real-world training and consulting in 5G and other advanced wireless, cloud, and AI technologies is a natural fit as we look to equip both our teams and our clients with the critical skills needed to lead in the next generation of networks era,” Kishore Durg, global lead of Accenture LearnVantage, said in a statement.
Award Solutions said it has been recognized 11 times as one of the Best Companies to Work for in Texas, a program jointly awarded to the state’s best employers by the Texas Association of Business and Texas SHRM, in partnership with Workforce Research Group.
