BT Group has extended an existing human resources outsourcing deal with Accenture with a new 10-year contract valued at Â£306 million ($576 million), the companies announced Wednesday. The deal will begin in August and will cover BT's HR functions in 38 countries for all of its 97,000 employees and 180,000 BT pensioners. The previous five-year outsourcing contract only covered employees in the U.K. Accenture will provide services such as customer contact, recruitment, pension administration, payroll, and benefits administration. The business process outsourcing (BPO) contract with London-based BT also has a consulting, or what companies like IBM are increasingly calling "transformation," element to it. As part of its consulting role, Accenture will create a "transition program" with BT before the August roll-out of the contract.

(InfoWorld) - U.K. telecommunications carrier BT Group plans to extend its enterprise services offering in the U.S. with the acquisition of International Network Services. The Santa Clara, California, company's services include information risk management and infrastructure transformation, and consulting on business productivity and on enterprise architecture and governance. The acquisition will add 900 staff to the 7,000 already working in BT's global professional services units. INS will become a wholly owned subsidiary of BT, part of its Global Services division, as a result of the acquisition. Its CEO, David Butze, will report jointly to Chuck Pol, president of BT Americas, and to Gary Bullard, president of BT Global Business and Services. BT will pay just over Â£100 million ($196 million) for the company, and expects the deal to close in a few weeks, a spokesman said. INS' last audited accounts, in September 2005, reported gross assets of $49.7 million. In October,Â BT bought another California company, U.S. consultancy Counterpane Internet SecurityÂ for a price it said was in the "tens of millions of dollars." Counterpane, with a staff of 75, monitors and protects the networks of around 550 companies.
