networks for Eisai Co., Ltd. in the U.S. and Japan.
Under this contract, Accenture will deliver services including

solution delivery framework. This, in turn, will enable Eisai to
build a global IT governance structure that is more efficient and
effective.
“During Eisai’s recent growth, Accenture has been supporting
Eisai in many initiatives, and it is our pleasure to have this
opportunity to play an important role in this key project that is
designed to ensure even greater growth for Eisai in the future,”

pharmaceutical industry, our IT operational processes that are
standardized globally, and our deep expertise in continuous
business improvements to support Eisai’s successful business.”
