Accenture, has announced the acquisition of SYSTEMA, a Dresden-based provider of software solutions and consulting services specializing in manufacturing automation. With a proven track record in serving semiconductor and high-tech companies, SYSTEMA enhances Accenture’s ability to deliver end-to-end transformation across manufacturing operations in these highly specialized sectors.
“Today’s society relies heavily on semiconductors for everything from smartphones to cars, and there is a strong commitment in Europe to strengthen the industry’s manufacturing capabilities,” said Christina Raab, market unit lead for Accenture in Austria, Switzerland, and Germany. “The production of semiconductors is complex and highly specialized, and SYSTEMA’s deep expertise in the industry will expand our capabilities and grow our business in ways we couldn’t achieve organically.”
Semiconductor manufacturing, while advanced in its products, continues to depend on legacy equipment and partially manual processes. Critical functions such as material flow, equipment changeovers, and shop floor coordination often remain under-automated—particularly within Europe. As manufacturers look to stay competitive, enhancing automation in existing facilities has become imperative.

“We are combining SYSTEMA’s semiconductor and high tech industry experience and capabilities with Accenture’s global network and ability to scale to offer services covering the whole value chain, from supply to logistics and manufacturing,” said Sarat Maitin, who leads Accenture’s digital engineering, manufacturing, infrastructure, and capital projects practice (Industry X) in Austria, Switzerland, and Germany. “Our ambition is to become a partner to the industry that helps clients in Germany and Europe secure competitiveness in a market increasingly under pressure.”
