Accenture, one of the world's largest consulting and technology service firms, expects its outsourcing business to grow in double digits in the coming years, Chief Executive Bill Green said in an interview published on Sunday. Accenture, a chief rival to International Business Machines Corp., expects growth at its technology business to be slower, Green said.
"We will have growth of double digits in outsourcing," Green told El Pais newspaper, in response to a question about business prospects for the coming years.

"Technology will continue to grow without reaching double digits, with a steady development over time although varying greatly according to country," he added.

Accenture posted a 70 per cent rise in its quarterly net profit last month to $209.8 million, helped by one-off gains, but its operating margins came under pressure due to cost overruns and project delays.
