Accenture (NYSE: ACN) has agreed to acquire McCoy, a Dutch SAP transformation partner, to strengthen its mid-market business unit, Accenture Edge. The transaction aims to enhance Accenture’s ability to help mid-market companies modernize operations and adopt artificial intelligence.

McCoy, founded in 2012, is headquartered in the Netherlands with additional offices in Spain and the Philippines. It operates as an SAP Gold Partner, providing ERP, data, and managed services to mid-market clients in sectors including high-tech, manufacturing, public sector, utilities, and retail.

Upon closing, McCoy will integrate into Accenture Edge, which serves mid-market companies with annual revenues between $300 million and $3 billion. The acquisition is designed to expand Accenture’s footprint in the EMEA mid-market segment while deepening its SAP modernization capabilities in the Netherlands.

Srini Subramanian, CEO of Accenture Edge, stated that McCoy’s entrepreneurial culture and track record serving mid-market clients make it a strong fit for the unit’s regional strategy. Nicole van Det, CEO of Accenture Netherlands and Nordics, noted that SAP modernization and AI are increasingly part of the same strategic agenda for mid-market growth.

McCoy will contribute more than 380 specialized professionals to Accenture Edge. The company brings proprietary accelerators such as SmartERP, Smart Extensions, Smart Re-use, and McCoy Integration Studio. These tools are designed to standardize delivery, reduce implementation complexity, and support faster SAP transformations.

The acquired firm will also support Accenture’s Advance initiative, a joint program with SAP offering packaged services tailored for mid-market organizations. This integration aims to help clients modernize SAP environments faster and integrate AI into core business processes with reduced complexity.
