Shared Services, a subset of the "Systems for a Greater UT" initiative President Powers announced January of last year, is one of the ways UT plans to consolidate finance, personnel, information technology and purchasing functions currently scattered among various departments. The company that UT plans to use would be Accenture, and this company has a blemished track record, that does not make it very popular among UT faculty, staff and students. The history of Accenture is overestimating costs, fraud, defective pricing schemes, and failed contracts with several states including one with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission. Below are several videos of UT students, faculty and staff protesting against Shared Services!
