Washington, DC - The U. S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has chosen Accenture, LLP to be the agency's new lead financial systems integrator. The choice of Accenture was made after a number of negotiation and market research sessions.

"We have worked long and hard to find a company that can meet our financial demands," said OPM Director Linda M. Springer.

Accenture, as the lead systems integrator, will provide OPM with all required integration services, systems hosting, and software. It also will replace two principal financial systems, one supporting the Agency's administrative funds (Revolving Fund and Salaries & Expenses Funds) and the other supporting the Trust Fund with a single integrated financial management system. Implementing a best in government standard solution for financial management will greatly improve OPM's access to timely and accurate financial information.

In addition, the new system will be implemented to standardize and integrate financial and business management processes, improve program performance, mission support, and decision-making, while complying fully with all federal financial system standards and requirements.

Our mission is to ensure the Federal Government has an effective civilian workforce. OPM supports U.S. agencies with personnel services and policy leadership including staffing tools, guidance on labor-management relations and programs to improve work force performance.
