Accenture today announced the firm has been awarded a 9-year contract with the California Department of Consumer Affairs to develop a licensing and enforcement system, called BreEZe. The system will help the department regulate various professionals such as doctors, nurses, dentists, contractors and cosmetologists.
"This new system will bring huge positive changes to how the California Department of Consumer Affairs serves citizens, while modernizing, simplifying and increasing the flexibility of the technology framework behind the Department’s licensing system," said Jens Egerland, managing director of Accenture’s Health & Public Service business in California.
The new enterprise system will replace numerous disparate and outdated legacy systems. According to the announcement, BreEZe will improve back-office functionality for the department and improve customer service for consumers and licensees.
Accenture says it will utilize the Versa Suite of commercial off-the-shelf products developed by Iron Data Solutions, Inc. Apian Consulting and Cambria Solutions will also be working as sub-contractors to Accenture on the project.
Other recent state projects led by Accenture include the California SAWS Consortium C-IV project, CalPERS Pension System Resumption project and the California Child Support Automation System.
