The tie-up with Accenture will enable the Brazilian telecom major to improve efficiency, quality and cost-effectiveness.

Accenture will focus on improvements designed to help transform Oi’s operations and support future growth.

“We are committed to Oi’s success as they execute their strategic business plans and undergo this transformation,” said Robert Sell, group chief executive of Accenture’s Communications, Media & Technology operating group.

“By leveraging Accenture’s industry and functional expertise combined with analytical tools and technologies, we’ve moved beyond operational cost reduction to drive more meaningful business outcomes for Oi.
