Accenture to Acquire Maryville Consulting Group to Bolster Technology Strategy and Enhance Client Outcomes
July 23, 2025 — NEW YORK — Accenture (NYSE: ACN), a global leader in professional services, has announced an agreement to acquire Maryville Consulting Group, a U.S.-based technology consultancy specializing in product-driven growth strategy, digital operations, and technology business management (TBM). This acquisition is set to significantly expand Accenture’s capabilities in aligning technology investments with business outcomes, reinforcing its commitment to help clients drive transformative reinvention.
Maryville Consulting Group, headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, was established in 1994 as a family-owned digital transformation platform provider. The firm’s dedicated team of over 100 professionals will join Accenture’s North American operations, enhancing Accenture’s technology-enabled Reinvention and Product Operations services. This strategic move is expected to deepen Accenture’s expertise in guiding organizations through complex technology transformations.
Central to Maryville’s value proposition is its proprietary Product Model framework, which facilitates technology transformation by integrating optimized processes, clearly defined roles and responsibilities, governance structures, funding mechanisms, and performance metrics. The firm’s approach emphasizes digitizing value streams to foster collaboration among key consumers and business partners, co-creating a shared vision and executable strategy that accelerates business outcomes. Services include process redesign, enterprise alignment, platform design, implementation, integration, and orchestration.
Complementing its strategic consulting, Maryville delivers robust business management capabilities that establish a financial foundation for long-term execution. These capabilities support portfolio-based budgeting and forecasting while embedding total cost of ownership into product-level profit and loss statements, enabling clients to make real-time, data-driven decisions.
Maryville’s strong partnerships with technology leaders such as Apptio (an IBM company) and ServiceNow, together with its onshore delivery strengths, create a distinctive value offering. The acquisition also aligns with Maryville’s emerging specialization in supporting high-growth digital infrastructure companies facing increased demand due to AI adoption and next-generation computing infrastructure. Maryville aids these clients in investment prioritization, enhancing cost transparency, and scaling operations efficiently.
Keith Boone, Tech Strategy & Advisory Americas lead at Accenture, highlighted the acquisition’s strategic importance: “This acquisition is a crucial step in expanding our technology and digital transformation capabilities to help clients extract maximum value from their technology investments. Maryville Consulting Group’s deep expertise and strong client relationships will significantly enhance our ability to help clients leverage technology as a competitive advantage and achieve their business objectives.”
The acquisition will strengthen Accenture’s position in the rapidly growing Technology Strategy Market and enable the company to deliver enhanced business value from technology investments across all industry sectors it serves globally.
Joey Blomker, managing director at Maryville Consulting Group, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership: “Joining Accenture is a natural evolution for Maryville Consulting Group. For over 30 years, we have unlocked value for organizations by aligning technology investments with measurable business outcomes. The partnership will allow us to scale our mission and provide our clients with the benefits of Accenture’s global platform and comprehensive capabilities, while maintaining the hands-on, outcome-driven service our clients expect.”
Jeff Blomker, also a managing director at Maryville, added, “This moment marks a proud milestone for our family and team. Our founder, Joe Blomker, established a foundation rooted in integrity, curiosity, and client commitment when he started Maryville Consulting Group in 1994. We have built on that vision and are excited to elevate it further alongside Accenture for the benefit of our clients and colleagues.”
The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including receiving necessary antitrust approvals.
