The mission of the Consortium IV (C-IV) Project is to implement a business model that would transform welfare processes into a dynamic, outcome-oriented system. The Project provides an integrated, user-friendly, automated system to manage the increasing complexity of the public assistance and employment programs, and to achieve the outcomes required by welfare reform. The C-IV Project is the largest welfare program ever developed by Accenture. The C-IV Project has two phases: the first is the 3.5 year Development and Implementation phase (completed in October 2004), and the second is the 13 year Maintenance and Operations phase.
