Nokia Oyj, the world’s largest mobile phone maker by units, completed a deal to contract out its Symbian software development to Accenture Plc as the manufacturer shifts to Microsoft Corp. as a platform supplier.
Symbian’s future “will be determined by Nokia based on the capabilities they put into it and how they push it in the marketplace, and we’ll be supporting that,” said Marty Cole, head of the Accenture communications, media and technology unit handling the work, said in an interview.
