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.
