MOSCOW – Accenture (NYSE: ACN) and Fadata, one of the leading insurance software vendors in Europe, have been selected to help Russian Standard Insurance, the second-largest life insurance company in Russia, streamline its insurance operations and accelerate the pace at which it launches new products.
