Accenture and Odessa: Enhancing Efficiency in European Implementations

Modernizing your asset finance business from legacy technologies to a contemporary asset leasing platform is no small feat. These large-scale projects impact every facet of your business, demanding careful planning, domain expertise, intricate industry knowledge, and the right resources and skill sets.

That's why Odessa has recently formed a strategic collaboration with Accenture, a renowned global leader in consulting and implementation services, and will together deliver an end-to-end implementation project for a European multinational bank, projected to go live later this year. This is a significant step for Odessa towards achieving accelerated time-to-value and quicker time-to-market for its customers in Europe.

This collaboration unites the strengths of both organizations, targeting the intricacies of implementing a leasing and asset finance platform across a complex, multi-country organization. By aligning the collective expertise of Odessa and Accenture, asset finance businesses can navigate the challenges of implementation, ensuring a smooth transition to a modern asset leasing platform.

"Our commitment to providing exceptional solutions is now fortified by joining forces with a global leader," said Alexandre Ellwood, SVP, Business Development, Odessa. "This strategic collaboration not only signifies our dedication to simplifying implementation processes but also highlights our strategic growth in Europe. By aligning with industry powerhouses, we are not just expanding our footprint, we are seeking to solidify our position as a key player in the ecosystem. This collaboration move will help us ensure unparalleled benefits and resilience for our valued customers."
