I'm not sure what this sentence is saying as I don't think Accenture had much involvement with Enron. Arthur Anderson the auditing company and Accenture (formerly Anderson Consulting) are two different companies that do not provide the same service. You may want to confirm and clarify this point. Hi-

Transforming the waves of sound and vision into bits is critical to Verizon from what I understand.
