In making its site selection decision, AFS used strategic
regional insight, market analysis and the business and civic
relationships facilitated by AllianceSTL, an economic development
organization that recruits new businesses to the St. Louis region.
Working with partners from several organizations, the St. Louis
leadership team engaged AFS in an innovative, highly collaborative
approach that sets the stage for success.
“We’re proud to welcome Accenture Federal Services to Missouri
where we’re developing the next generation of tech talent,”
Governor Mike Parson said. “Missouri is already recognized as one
of the most prepared states for the digital economy, and at a time
when many Missourians are looking for work, this move will create
more opportunity, grow our technology workforce, and strengthen our
standing as a technology hub in the U.S.”
John Goodman, AFS CEO, said, “The region’s skilled talent,
vibrant technology ecosystem and strong commitment to collaboration
between government, civic, business, academic and community
partners make St. Louis the ideal location for our new Advanced
Technology Center. We are thrilled to provide our people and new
hires a great place to do work that matters by expanding our
operations in this area.”
The AFS Advanced Technology Center will collaborate closely with
the AFS Cyber and Advanced Technology Centers in San Antonio,
Texas; the Accenture Federal Digital Studio in Washington, D.C.;
and specialized centers in Niagara Falls, New York, and Chesapeake,
Virginia. Ali Bokhari, Managing Director of AFS’ delivery center
network, said, “Together, this network provides an unmatched
ability to design and deliver modern solutions for our federal
clients at speed and at scale.”
St. Louis County Executive, Dr. Sam Page said, “Bringing new
jobs to St. Louis County is a top priority. Today, we took a big
step forward, welcoming 1,400 new jobs. The investment by Accenture
in St. Louis County is further proof that we are a welcoming place
to locate and grow a business.”
AllianceSTL President and CEO Steve Johnson said, “The selection
of St. Louis signifies Accenture’s continued confidence in the
region as an optimal location to do business, and the addition of
1,400 new jobs will enrich our already-thriving technology climate.
We worked in close collaboration throughout this process with our
great partners at the St. Louis Economic Development Partnership,
the Missouri Partnership, the Missouri Department of Economic
Development, and Ameren Missouri.”
