Rewriting History Accenture Style
from the a-hefty-task dept
I just received an email from folks at Accenture (formerly Andersen Consulting) saying that they're surfing the entire web looking for any references to Andersen Consulting and asking that they be changed to Accenture. This seems like a huge waste of time and effort. Anyway, considering that any reference to Andersen Consulting in a Techdirt posting was a news item which was about about Andersen at the time it happened, I'm not making any changes. I just thought it was amusing that they're making this request. Full text of the email is below.Andersen Consulting becomes AccentureAs you may know, the company formerly known as Andersen Consulting has renamed itself to Accenture. The New Media team has the monumental task of identifying and changing all references to Andersen Consulting on the World Wide Web.
We need your help!
We ask that you join us in strengthening our new brand by changing all Andersen Consulting references to Accenture and redirecting all links to our new website, www.accenture.com. Please use our accenture.com rebranding toolkit for instructions on updating your website. The toolkit can be found at: www.accenture.com/rebranding
Thank you in advance for your cooperation during this exciting change for our organization.

The New Media Team

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
