The London Organising Committee for the 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games (Locog) has selected Accenture to run its back-office system.
Accenture will integrate Locog's systems and services to create a platform which will drive the planning of the games.
The integrated system will provide a single repository for all new and recorded data used in the planning process of the London Games across functions including finance, accounting, facilities, ticket allocation, scheduling, personnel and procurement.
The consultant beat BT Global Services, IBM and Logica CMG to win the contract.
The deal will not cover the Games' time operating systems or the core Games management systems that relay results, events and athlete information to spectators and media around the world during the event, which will be provided by Atos Origin, the IT systems integrator responsible for the design, build and operation of the Games IT infrastructure.
