Diebold Nixdorf president and chief executive officer Gerrard Schmid said: “Partnering with Accenture enables us to meaningfully accelerate our digital roadmap and DN Now transformation program.
“Automation, improved applications and more agile processes will not only provide better operational performance, but also an enhanced customer experience through new services and solutions.”

The accelerated digital transformation programme is planned to leverage digital automation tools and facilitate an agile and customer-focused workforce.

The current agreement is an extension to the long-standing relationship between the two companies to deliver business transformation across Diebold Nixdorf.
