National Football League and Accenture announced a partnership naming Accenture the Official Business and Technology Consulting Partner of the NFL. Throughout the five-year partnership, the NFL will harness Accenture?s technology and data expertise to help shape the future of football. To continually innovate both on and off the field, Accenture and the NFL will team up to enhance data-driven decision making in three key league business areas: Football, financial operations, and human resources.

In the partnership, Accenture will deploy its experience, expertise and best practices across multiple industry sectors. This work will elevate the NFL?s corporate and club financial operations across its systems, processes and personnel. It will be driven by increased visibility into the data and metrics behind the numbers.

In addition, the NFL will collaborate with Accenture to support and transform human resource (HCM) and enterprise resource planning (ERP) functions and analytics. Accenture will continue to drive new efficiencies and automation across the NFL?s back-office functions.
