Vantaggi
Amdocs Consuling Division was setup to be a competitor for Accenture, however the structure of the company did not allow it to fully compete. It is still a growing organization with opportunity to help grow the new business. Though in these economic times, its hard to gain momentum in selling big projects. The current big telco clients are also tightening their belts, so the ACD division has been hit harder than the CBU. The company had alot of potential, but it will take the senior management to steer the organization in the right direction where it is independent from the corporate big brother.
Svantaggi
ACD partners with Amdocs Corporate development teams. Depending on who won the project, the project is either owned by the consulting division or by corporate business unit. This can lead to alot of internal power struggles, in addition, ACD employees are treated as staff augs rather than true consultants.
