Accenture assists in Stanford's efforts to go paperless

Accenture has landed a seven-year contract with Stanford Hospital & Clinics, part of the Stanford University Medical Clinic in Stanford, Calif., for a connected health technology initiative.

Under the agreement, Accenture will work with Stanford to deploy new capabilities, including business intelligence, health analytics tools and patient-centered technology. Accenture stated the company will assume certain operational and administrative responsibilities for Stanford’s IT environment.

Stanford will migrate to Accenture’s virtualization offering, according to the Chicago-headquartered company, which added that the firm will manage applications and infrastructure including applicable data centers, network, help desks and device support.
