Accenture, BCC Iccrea Group sign partnership agreement

BCC Iccrea Group and Accenture (ACN) have signed a partnership agreement to support the Group’s IT transformation within the framework of the broader IT reinvention plan devised by BCC Sistemi Informatici. This plan, which includes an investment program of over EUR 300M over the next three years, aims to accelerate the transformation initiated with the establishment of the Group. The objective is to provide improved levels of service for the 114 BCC member banks and other subsidiaries, thereby offering members and customers services that are increasingly secure, efficient, innovative and user-friendly. Specifically, the new Group IT plan covers improvement and modernization of key core banking applications, the further expansion of products and services available through digital channels, and the acceleration of its AI strategy program. In this context, the partnership agreement with Accenture, which also involves Accenture acquiring an equity stake in BCC Sistemi Informatici, focuses on digital platforms, core systems, and BCC’s data platform. Additionally, Accenture will contribute to improving BCC’s infrastructure and developing a new service model designed to enhance its security and resilience levels.
