Accenture has acquired COMWARE. The deal was announced on August 27, 2026, and officially closed on August 31, 2026. The acquisition will further strengthen Accenture Edge, a new business entity launched in June 2026 to help mid-market companies harness AI and reinvent how they operate. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
COMWARE is recognized for its strong IT implementation and operations capabilities for mid-market, as well as for its expertise in SAP and CRM technologies. COMWARE will add more than 180 professionals to Accenture and support the continued growth of Accenture Edge. This will further expand Accenture’s capabilities to support AI-, data-, and cloud-powered digital core reinvention.
Founded in September 2000, COMWARE has supported the growth of companies in Japan by providing services for core business systems, from implementation and development to maintenance and operations. The company has extensive experience serving discrete manufacturing, including make-to-order and make-to-plan production, as well as process manufacturing in industries such as chemicals and food. COMWARE will bring its deep understanding of manufacturing operations and long-standing client relationships to Accenture.
For more than 25 years, COMWARE has been a business partner of SAP Japan, providing SAP services and delivering high-quality, rapid implementations through its proprietary “COMet” implementation template. In recent years, COMWARE has also expanded its capabilities into CRM as a Salesforce business partner.
“As AI becomes foundational to how companies operate and compete, speed of execution has become increasingly critical to improving decision-making, productivity and competitiveness,” said Dai Hamaoka, representative director, president and Japan country managing director, Accenture. “COMWARE will bring deep knowledge of mid-market companies, exceptional talent, and strong client relationships. Combined with Accenture’s global execution capabilities and AI-driven transformation services, this will enable us to deliver scalable and repeatable transformation services more quickly to a broader range of clients. We will continue to support clients end-to-end, helping turn AI- and technology-driven change into business outcomes for sustainable growth and competitiveness in Japan.”
Tetsu Kayama, president of COMWARE Co., Ltd., added, “Since our founding in September 2000, COMWARE has been at the forefront of SAP-centered ERP solutions. As AI continues to rapidly reshape the industry, we sought greater opportunities to accelerate our growth, and joining Accenture was the decision we needed to make to realize that ambition. Going forward, as part of Accenture, each of our employees will grow on this new stage, and we will contribute more than ever to the transformation and growth of companies across Japan.”
