The professional service firm, Accenture, has deployed its remote-support offering on the assembly line of Airbus’ A330 airliner.

The France-based aircraft manufacturer has implemented the remote-support offering to improve productivity and reduce costs.

Accenture’s smartphone application uses video technology that allows mobile operators in the aircraft and those in the office to communicate.

“We look forward to continuing to innovate and deliver new solutions that help aerospace manufacturers improve productivity and reduce costs,” reported Julio Juan Prieto, Managing Director for Aerospace & Defense practice at Aerospace.
