“The awards for Global System Integrator Partner of the Year 2019 and U.S. System Integrator of the Year 2019 reflect our continued and mutual commitments to delivering superior business outcomes for our clients. Our clients are responding enthusiastically to our cloud expertise and solutions,” said Melissa Besse, HPE Business Group global lead at Accenture. “My Accenture team is honored by this recognition, but we are even more excited about what we will build together with HPE for clients in the future.”
