Supermarket Sainsbury's is ahead of schedule to achieve £40m-a-year cost savings from bringing its IT back in-house after scrapping an outsourcing deal with Accenture last year. Sainsbury's signed a 10-year outsourcing contract with Accenture in November 2000, hoping to cut £35m per year off its £200m annual IT budget, but ditched the deal a year ago as part of a back-to-basics programme aimed at saving £285m this year and £440m next year across the company.
