In any complex re-engineering initiative, the reality of productivity gains do not just come from technology. It is a combination of getting technology to work together, change management and ownership by the customer of the project. I think [Sainsbury's] recognises this," he said.
An Accenture spokesman said, "We are responsible for the IT transformation programme at Sainsbury's, including some of the supply chain systems. However, the IT automation systems within Sainsbury's four new automated depots are not, and never have been under the scope of the existing contract. We are not responsible for the strategy, development and operations of these systems"

What Sainsbury's said about its IT
"Sophisticated customer and product segmentation over the past two or three years has required a complex supply chain solution which simply cannot be delivered to the required scale. The new automated depots are failing to perform at the planned levels."
"IT systems have also failed to deliver the anticipated increase in productivity and the costs today are a greater proportion of sales than they were four years ago."
"The contract with Accenture is being renegotiated to involve the company more fully in the selection and implementation of systems and IT solutions. Accordingly the company is rebuilding internal capability."
