NEW YORK, Nov. 8, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Genpact (NYSE: G), a global professional services firm focused on delivering
digital transformation, today announced the launch of a new digital innovation hub in Bentonville,
Arkansas to expand the company's services for the retail and consumer goods industries.
Genpact's investment in Bentonville reflects its commitment to and deep experience in the
retail and consumer goods industries, with clients including Walmart (NYSE: WMT). Genpact is co-innovating with Walmart to transform Walmart's finance and accounting
back-office operations located in Bentonville, helping to fuel growth. The digital innovation
hub builds on both Walmart's position as an industry leader, and Genpact's expertise in advanced digital technologies and domain
and process depth in retail and consumer goods.
"Retail and consumer goods companies need to continually reinvent themselves to meet ever-changing customer demands," said
Tiger Tyagarajan, president and chief executive officer, Genpact. "We are excited to work with Walmart, a renowned innovator
in retail, as the anchor client in our new Bentonville hub. We look forward to partnering
together to help the area become a digital transformation talent leader for the industry."
As part of its commitment to the area, Genpact plans to work with the Northwest Arkansas
business community and local academic institutions. This builds on the company's expertise in learning and development, and
successful partnerships with numerous U.S. and global universities. Genpact will encourage new training and education approaches
that can provide market-ready skills and practical, real-life experiences in digital transformation.
In its work with Walmart, Genpact will help manage part of Walmart's finance and accounting operations. All of Walmart's
Bentonville-based finance solutions associates affected by this transition will be offered
employment with Genpact at its new digital innovation hub, providing career opportunities that take advantage of Genpact's deep
expertise in finance transformation.
"This partnership will further accelerate our digital transformation and unlock potential savings for reinvestment in
innovation and growth," said Clay Johnson, executive vice president and enterprise chief
information officer, Walmart. "We'll leverage Genpact's expertise in finance and accounting services and process
transformation to further improve quality, reduce the total cycle time of our processes, and deliver value that's in the best
interest of our associates and business."
Genpact will develop solutions at its new digital innovation hub that allow companies to reimagine their operations with
faster access to data, delivering insights that enable more strategic business decisions. Genpact will help retail and consumer
goods clients drive growth, improve customer service, and streamline processes by leveraging robotic process automation, machine
learning, predictive analytics, artificial intelligence such as natural language understanding, and other digital
technologies.
The investment in Arkansas underscores Genpact's ongoing expansion strategy in the United States to support its clients around the world with resources and flexibility in delivery
locations.
