• Enhanced customer service and delivery: Customers will benefit from more innovative software, hardware, and systems as L3Harris continues to reinvest IT infrastructure and application savings back into the business.
• Enriched talent experience: People in the IT organization will have access to new enterprise resources, business systems, training and tools, enabling them to do their best work.

“Building a strong digital core will enable L3Harris to more quickly harness the potential of cloud and automation, take its customer service and people experience to the next level, and accelerate its ongoing reinvention,” said Julie Sweet, Chair and CEO, Accenture. “We are excited to work together to help L3Harris optimize operations, drive growth and reach new levels of performance across the business.”
