Accenture's Japan entity is establishing a new structure to strengthen AI adoption and digital transformation through the acquisition of コムウェア, a mid-sized IT services company. More than 180 specialists from コムウェア will move to Accenture as part of the acquisition, supporting efforts to redefine the digital core.
Accenture's Japan entity announced that it had agreed to acquire コムウェア, which provides IT services to mid-sized companies. The acquisition is aimed at further strengthening the capabilities of Accenture Edge, a new business launched by the company in June 2026, and the specific terms of the transaction have not been disclosed.
Established in September 2000, コムウェア handles the implementation and development of core business systems through maintenance and operations. It has expertise in process manufacturing, particularly in the manufacturing sector. The company has a track record as an SAP Japan partner and has expanded into customer relationship management in recent years as a Salesforce partner.
More than 180 specialists from コムウェア will join Accenture as a result of the acquisition. This is expected to strengthen the structure supporting efforts to redefine the digital core using AI, data and cloud technologies.
Accenture Japan President Hamaoka Dai (濱岡 大) indicated a desire to rapidly deliver highly repeatable transformation services by combining コムウェア's expertise with Accenture's global AI technologies. コムウェア President Kayama Satoshi (香山 哲), meanwhile, cited expanded growth opportunities in industries where the adoption of AI is accelerating as a reason for the decision.
