Yup they're not a big software company if you arbitrarily constrain the definition of software company.

I could argue Google is not a big software company (as in lots of people working with mismatching socks and propeller hats).

But that would be just as stupid.

What I mean is that the overwhelming majority of Accenture (or TCS, or Deloitte, or IBM Consulting, or Infosys, or any other bodyshop) employees aren’t building software for Accenture, they’re being hired out. So that’s why I don’t consider Accenture a “software” company

Would you consider Randstad to be a building company? They loan out hundreds of thousands of building contractors across the world
