Accenture Makes Strategic Investment in TripleBlind to Bolster
Data Privacy and Increase Data Collaboration Opportunities
Accenture has made a strategic investment, through Accenture Ventures, in
TripleBlind, a data privacy and virtual clean room solution provider. Sharing and
extracting insights from sensitive data, such as patient records or tax returns can help
accelerate cures for diseases or reduce financial crimes yet concerns around data
privacy and governments regulations have prevented many companies from
identifying these insights to date. TripleBlind helps enterprises share sensitive
information with their stakeholders more effectively – without ever decrypting the
data, helping them comply with regulatory requirements. TripleBlind is now part of
Accenture Ventures’ Project Spotlight, a deeply immersive engagement and
investment program that targets emerging technology software startups to help the
Global 2000 embrace the power of change and fill strategic innovation gaps. Project
Spotlight offers extensive access to Accenture’s deep domain expertise and its
enterprise clients, to help startups harness human creativity and deliver on the
promise of their technology. Through the program, TripleBlind will co-innovate with
Accenture at its Innovation Hubs, Labs and Liquid Studios, working with subject
matter experts to bring its solutions to market more quickly and more effectively.
Executive Commentary
“Organizations can yield valuable insights and unlock trapped value by
combining and collaborating around large volumes and different types of data,
but in order to do this they need to trust that the privacy of that data is protected,”
said global lead for Data & AI Group for Accenture Technology. “We believe that
TripleBlind not only has the capabilities to facilitate collaborative data
exchanges, but to also give organizations confidence that data privacy remains
intact.”

decreased to 8.0% from 8.8% in the prior year quarter. Non-GAAP operating income margin for the quarter was 10.0%, compared to 10.4% in the prior year quarter,

to 145 million in the prior year quarter.
Defense Solutions
• Defense Solutions revenues for the quarter of $1,951 million increased by $357 million, or 22.4%, compared to the prior year quarter. The revenue increase was
primarily attributable to $302 million of revenues related to the acquisition of Dynetics and program wins, partially offset by the completion of certain contracts and
reduced volume on certain contracts due to negative impacts related to the coronavirus pandemic ("COVID-19").
• Defense Solutions operating income margin for the quarter was 7.4%, compared to 6.7% in the prior year quarter. On a non-GAAP basis, operating income margin
for the quarter was 8.8%, compared to 7.7% in the prior year quarter. The increase in margin was primarily attributable to higher margins on program wins and lower
indirect expenditures.
Civil
• Civil revenues for the quarter of $771 million increased by $38 million, or 5.2%, compared to the prior year quarter. The revenue increase was primarily
attributable to $74 million of revenues related to the acquisition of the SD&A Businesses and program wins, partially offset by the completion of certain contracts, prior
year upfront lease revenue recognized on certain programs and reduced volume on certain contracts due to negative impacts related to COVID-19.
• Civil operating income margin for the quarter was 7.0%, compared to 5.9% in the prior year quarter. On a non-GAAP basis, operating income margin for the
quarter was 10.5%, compared to 8.3% in the prior year quarter, primarily attributable to improved performance on certain programs and a decrease in bad debt expense.
Health
• Health revenues for the quarter of $520 million increased by $12 million, or 2.4%, compared to the prior year quarter. The revenue increase was primarily
attributable to a net increase in volumes on certain programs and program wins. This was partially offset by the impact from the sale of our health staff augmentation
business in the third quarter of fiscal 2019.
• Health operating income margin for the quarter was 14.4%, compared to 12.4% in the prior year quarter. On a non-GAAP basis, operating income margin for the

health staff augmentation business in the third quarter of fiscal 2019.
Leidos Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented: "Leidos' third quarter results reflect the hard work and dedication of our employees and close
collaboration with our customers as we provided continuity of operations while accelerating our pandemic response plan. This is evidenced by record revenue,
solid margins, record backlog and record operational cash generation in the recent quarter. While challenges still remain, we are pleased with the growth and

Atos powers Europe’s fastest supercomputer at Jülich in Germany, the
most energy-efficient system in the TOP100
15
Atos, a global leader in digital transformation, announces that the supercomputing system at Forschungszentrum Jülich, named JUWELS, based on Atos’
innovative BullSequana XH2000 platform, is officially the fastest supercomputing system in Europe with a sustained peak performance of 44.1 HPL
petaflops. It ranks #7 on the TOP500 and #5 on HPCG rankings. It is the most energy-efficient supercomputing system in the TOP100 and ranks #3 on the
Green500.
Highest energy-efficiency
JUWELS is the most energy-efficient supercomputer in its class worldwide, ranking in first place for energy-efficiency on the TOP100 list, thanks to Atos’
patented DLC (Direct Liquid Cooling) solution, which minimizes global energy consumption by using warm water up to 40°C. JUWELS ranks alongside 30
other Atos supercomputers on this November’s Green500, underlining Atos’ commitment to support its clients in their decarbonization objectives.
Faster & Smarter – prepared for exascale
Atos worked with Jülich and German HPC-software specialist ParTec to extend its existing JUWELS supercomputer system with a highly scalable booster
module. Now operational, this module massively expands the application limits of HPC simulations, enabling JUWELS to handle much more demanding
computing tasks and data analysis from science and industry than has previously been possible in Europe. It also makes JUWELS the strongest platform in
Europe for the use of artificial intelligence (AI).

Mercer launches new climate change solution to help investors
transition to a 1.5°C climate scenario
22
Mercer, a global leader in redefining the world of work, reshaping retirement and investment outcomes, and unlocking real health and well-being, announced the
launch of climate transition analytics and advice for institutional investors who want to transition to a 1.5°C scenario of global warming as outlined in the Paris
Agreement. Climate change science has shown that to halt climate change, carbon emissions have to stop completely. ‘Net zero’ means that any emissions are
balanced by absorbing an equivalent amount from the atmosphere. The solution, called Analytics for Climate Transition (“ACT”) will help investors construct
climate resilient portfolios on a multi-year timeframe, as 1.5°C requires a 45% emissions reduction by 2030. ACT is now being offered to Mercer’s investment
consulting clients worldwide and will be leveraged to support climate transition strategies across its $304.5 billion USD global assets under management[1] on
behalf of its Investment Solutions clients. ACT was developed because institutional investors are seeking ways to assess the companies they are invested in with
respect to their commitment and ability to, transition to a net zero economy by 2050, with an important milestone of 45% emissions reduction by 2030. Through
ACT, Mercer can help investors set portfolio investment baselines; assess portfolio opportunities; establish targets and produce implementation plans that can be
integrated with strategy and portfolio construction decisions. Mercer’s framework and analytics draw on multiple data providers and metrics to assess portfolios
across a spectrum of carbon risk, with portfolios ranked from low transition capacity (grey investments) to investments that are low carbon risk/zero carbon
already, or are providing climate solutions (green investments). The majority of companies in investor portfolios fall somewhere in between the two sides.

Accenture named to 2021 list of Canada’s Top 100 Employers for 11th
consecutive year
26
For the 11th year in a row, Accenture has been named one of Canada’s Top 100 Employers. The Canada’s Top 100 Employers ranking, now in its 21st year, is a national competition that identifies employers leading their
industries with innovative programs to attract and retain top talent and foster exceptional workplace environments. Accenture has been consistently recognized in Canada and globally as an employer of choice. The
company has been named to Fortune’s World’s Most Admired Companies list for 18 consecutive years, DiversityInc’s Top 50 Companies for Diversity list for 14 consecutive years, and the Refinitiv Diversity & Inclusion
Top 100 index, ranking in the top three worldwide for the third straight year. New programs and initiatives that contributed to Accenture being recognized as a top employer include:
• Supporting Canada’s future workforce: In January 2020, Accenture made a cash and in-kind services grant of more than C$1.1 million to ACCES Employment to develop an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered bot
to help newcomers find meaningful careers in Canada. The initiative aligns with Accenture’s Skills to Succeed program, which uses technology to improve employment and entrepreneurship outcomes at scale.
• Investing in Canada and putting employees first: In January 2020, Accenture held a grand opening for a new Intelligent Operations Centre in St. Catharines, Ontario. As part of an investment in Canada and the Niagara
Region, the new centre brought an additional 100 local jobs in marketing, sales, customer care, and IT support. With employees in mind, the new location offers wellness features including a mothers’ room, a meditation
and prayer room, and fitness and games areas. Employees also have the capability to work from home and have been since the start of the pandemic.
• New data studios for intelligent insights: To further expand market reach and help clients achieve breakthrough results, Accenture launched a Toronto Data Studio in December 2019 and Montreal Data Studio in
March 2020. Data studio experts work alongside clients to help them capitalize on their data to generate intelligent insights.
• Focusing on ‘Getting to Equal’: Timed to International Women’s Day, Accenture publishes annual research to help advance the conversation on workplace equality. The latest Getting to Equal thought leadership
research shows that while more companies are focusing on equality and employees are concerned about workplace culture, progress remains slow. The report identifies a small percentage of leaders – Culture Makers –
who are leading the way by “saying, doing and driving” cultural change.
• Driving local growth and talent development: Accenture continues to support growth in its regional business markets. During the 2020 fiscal year, Accenture appointed Martine Lapointe as Montreal Office Managing
Director and Elizabeth Boright as Alberta Managing Director. With more than 20 years of experience each, both are focused on bringing innovation to Accenture’s clients, attracting top talent and strengthening
Accenture’s overall impact in their local communities.

The IFF transponder waveform integration is part of a U.S. Navy contract to upgrade the Multifunctional Information Distribution System Joint Tactical Radio System
(MIDS JTRS) terminal for the U.S. Air Force. BAE Systems’ F-22 IFF transponder is integrated with a multi-channel subsystem, which is compliant with the new Mode
5 cryptographic standard and programmable with software rather than hardware. It is also compatible with the aircraft’s avionics equipment, which uses Link 16 and
tactical air navigation system waveforms. Certifying Mode 5 Level 2 capability in this transponder is a necessary step on the path to platform-level AIMS and Federal
Aviation Administration certification. The AIMS program office ensures interoperability of IFF systems used by the U.S. and allied forces. The MIDS JTRS terminal
with IFF transponder is in production and undergoing ground and flight testing on-board the F-22 aircraft in preparation for platform-level certification. Operational
release to the fleet is planned for 2021. With more than 75 years of IFF experience, BAE Systems has delivered more than 15,500 transponders, 1,500 interrogators, and
6,000 combined interrogator/transponder systems. IFF products enable warfighters to identify friendly forces and make informed decisions in a variety of threat
environments. They can be used on existing, new, and emerging platforms, including unmanned aerial vehicles, ships, fixed-wing aircraft, and helicopters. The MIDS
JTRS terminal is a Data Link Solutions product produced through a joint venture of BAE Systems and Collins Aerospace. MIDS JTRS is a four-channel radio that runs
the complex Link 16 waveform plus up to three more communication protocols, including the Tactical Targeting Network Technology. The terminal can also host and

IBM announced that the company has been recognized as a Leader in three market reports evaluating Managed Security Services Providers. Profiling IBM's strategies and capabilities in managed security services are:
• "The Forrester Wave™: Global Managed Security Services Providers, Q3 2020" by Forrester Research: IBM Security Services received the highest score in the strategy category and among the highest in the market
presence category and second highest in the current offering category.
• "The Forrester Wave™: European Managed Security Services Providers, Q3 2020", by Forrester Research: IBM Security Services was top ranked in two categories – current offering and strategy with the highest
score possible in the third-market presence.
• "IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Managed Security Services 2020 Vendor Assessment" (Doc # US46235320, September 2020): IBM Security Services was cited for its key strengths as a global scale partner with local
delivery capabilities able to address customer needs such as the journey to cloud, application security, threat intelligence and threat management operations.
Managing more than 150 billion security events on average daily, IBM Managed Security Services brings together the power and integration of proprietary and third-party machine learning and AI to help customers
reduce incident fatigue, perform triage quickly and manage what matters most to clients. With many organizations navigating wider, more complex environments, the company's managed security services are built for
scale and efficiency to help protect hybrid cloud environments. IBM Managed Security Services, an all-in-one suite, focuses on relieving clients from alert fatigue and undetected threats – allowing for quick response
and remediation with incident response, security orchestration and automation built into the platform. In fact, in its global report, Forrester Research cites the breadth of IBM's portfolio, and in its European report, it cites
IBM's ability to integrate its product offerings in automation, threat intelligence, incident response and vulnerability capabilities into its managed security services. With over half a million cybersecurity jobs currently in
demand just in the U.S., many in-house security teams are struggling to keep up with the volume of threat data, alerts and incidents flooding their environments. Responding to this challenge, IBM's Managed Security
Services platform leverages IBM Security Resilient SOAR and IBM Security QRadar Advisor with Watson to escalate and remediate threats quickly. An asset recognized by the IDC MarketScape in its market report as
one of IBM's strengths, QRadar Advisor not only ingests data from activity within the end user environment, it also relies on insights gleaned from the external security community, ultimately enriching and contextualizing
SOC analysts' understanding of cyber behaviors and threat activity to empower speedy actions.
