Accenture Federal Services (AFS), a subsidiary of Accenture, has been awarded a $341 million contract from the U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC) to modernize its core business systems and data platform. The contract, under the DOC’s Business Applications Solution (BAS) program, will run for one base year with 19 option years, Accenture said in a statement.

Under the terms of the contract, AFS will help the DOC consolidate its finance, acquisition, property, enterprise data warehouse and other business systems into a commercial software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform in a hosted environment, says Accenture.

Under the contract, DOC will use Accenture Federal Service’s FedRamp solutions, including Federal Cloud ERP, Managed Detection and Response (MDR), and the Insights Platform (AIP).
