Accenture (NYSE:ACN) has been awarded the National Arts
Council’s Distinguished Patron of the Arts Award for its
contribution of technology and innovation to the arts and culture
of Singapore. This marks the second consecutive year that Accenture
has received the award, which is the council’s highest
accolade.
As the National Gallery Singapore’s Innovation Partner,
Accenture utilises its global expertise in digital technology
consulting to deliver a differentiated visitor experience at the
Gallery. Additionally, Accenture’s innovative digital experience is
designed to also deliver valuable insights into visitor patterns
and preferences by analysing data from both online and in-Gallery
visits.
Accenture was presented with the award by Grace Fu, Minister for
Culture, Community and Youth, at an awards ceremony held today at
the Shangri-La Hotel. The Distinguished Patron of the Arts Award is
the highest honour accorded to an organisation.
"This recognition by the National Arts Council for the second
year in a row is a testament to Accenture’s continued efforts in
leveraging digital technologies in order to deliver a unique
visitor experience at the National Gallery Singapore. As Innovation
Partner to the National Gallery, we believe this partnership will
go from strength to strength,” said Teo Lay Lim, Accenture’s senior
managing director for ASEAN and country managing director for
Singapore.
Commenting on the partnership with Accenture, National Gallery
Singapore CEO Chong Siak Ching said, “Accenture’s support and
digital expertise have been integral to the Gallery’s digital
progress over the past two years. We aim to transform our Gallery’s
visitors’ experience and day-to-day operations through the adoption
of useful and engaging digital mobile platforms such as our Gallery
Explorer mobile app and business analytical tools. It has been an
exciting journey with Accenture, and we certainly look forward to
deepening our partnership with them to position National Gallery
Singapore as the region’s key visual arts institution of the
future.”
Officially opened on November 24 last year, the National Gallery
Singapore houses the largest public collection of modern Singapore
and Southeast Asian art from the 19th century to present day. The
Gallery will also further cement Singapore’s position as a regional
and international hub for visual arts.
