AOTMP Recertifies Accenture Solution Through May 2027

The certification and membership establish Accenture’s role as a strategic contributor to industry innovation and performance standards.

BLOOMINGTON, IN — August 11, 2026 — AOTMP, a membership organization for technology management professionals backed by an industry-leading certification body, today announced that Accenture’s solution has been recertified through May 2027.

The recertification recognizes Accenture’s continued progress in helping enterprises manage technology as a strategic financial and operational asset across software, hardware, telecom, cloud, and broader investment governance. It also reflects Accenture’s expanded capabilities in AI-driven transparency, comprehensive optimization, value measurement, and holistic IT spend governance.

“Accenture’s Strategy & Consulting practice has evolved Technology Financial Management into a strategic enterprise capability, enabling senior leaders to optimize technology spend, strengthen governance, and translate savings into funding for technology modernization and business transformation. Its AI-enabled, security-aware model gives executives clearer insight into value realization while supporting forward-looking investment decisions aligned to enterprise priorities,” said Timothy C. Colwell, EVP, AOTMP.

Vani Ante, Managing Director, and Josa Jopia, Senior Manager, at Accenture stated that “Receiving the renewed Efficiency First® Certification for the 4th time is a significant achievement that highlights Accenture’s commitment to excellence, innovation, and measurable business impact. As technology and business landscapes continue to evolve, we remain focused on advancing leading practices in technology financial management, enabling our clients to optimize investments, accelerate transformation, and achieve lasting value.

Accenture’s strengths in maximizing IT investment, AI-driven transparency and insights, comprehensive optimization, investment governance and prioritization, value measurement and realization, and holistic IT spend governance with ITAM integration were key factors in the recertification decision. Its operating model unifies IT asset management, software asset management, hardware asset management, and telecom expense management under a single global team, giving enterprises greater visibility and control over non-labor technology costs.

Accenture’s solutions are designed to help organizations improve data quality, identify optimization opportunities faster, strengthen compliance, and redirect savings toward modernization and transformation initiatives. Together, these capabilities support a mature, enterprise-ready approach that aligns technology decisions with business priorities and measurable outcomes.

About Bearstone

Bearstone is a telecom vendor governance firm founded by Bill Henrichs, Former Head of Telecommunications at Simon Property Group. Managing telecom for a 200+ site portfolio, Bill saw what most CIOs learn: invoices routinely carry unauthorized charges — services billed after disconnect, rates outside contracted terms — that no one is validating line by line. He built Bearstone to close that gap.

Bearstone delivers BearGuard — a managed governance service that validates invoices against contracted terms, surfaces unauthorized charges and variance, and holds carriers accountable for correction. Where TEM platforms stop at reporting, BearGuard begins.

Headquartered in Noblesville, Indiana, Bearstone serves multi-site enterprises — retail, hospitality, and distribution — with 200+ locations or $2M+ in annual telecom spend.
