Prior notification of a concentration
(Case M.10344 — Accenture/Umlaut)

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:






—


for Accenture: global professional services organization providing management consulting, technology, and outsourcing services,

3.   
On preliminary examination, the Commission finds that the notified transaction could fall within the scope of the Merger Regulation. However, the final decision on this point is reserved.
Pursuant to the Commission Notice on a simplified procedure for treatment of certain concentrations under the Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (2) it should be noted that this case is a candidate for treatment under the procedure set out in the Notice.
