About us

Who is umlaut?

What’s in a name? We used to be part of P3, then we were umlaut, now we are Accenture, but always we keep our values and mission true to ourselves.

On a more than two-decade-long journey we grew from a handful of people into our thousands, spanned our wings from Germany across all territories and industries and enjoyed great success and growth together.

But to realise our full potential, we needed a change. We wanted to be a company of more - more value for our clients, more togetherness, more collaboration, more inventiveness, more entrepreneurialism, more freedom, more shared ownership and more success.

And since October 2021, we have been part of Accenture.

Who is Accenture?

We put 360˚ value at the heart of our business. We drive change globally, across 49 countries in more than 200 cities. We accelerate reinvention and help our clients embrace change by delivering on the promise of technology and human ingenuity.
