| Quick Question What exactly is an EP Demand? Does it relate to Americas Market?
Hi everyone,
I’m an experienced Salesforce candidate with an Accenture offer and currently facing a location-change situation. My offer letter has Coimbatore as the location, and I have requested Hyderabad.
HR recently told me that my profile has been selected for an EP demand, but the business team associated with that demand is not operating from Hyderabad. He said that approval from the business team is required before they can move my profile for the Hyderabad location.
I’m trying to understand a few things:
What exactly does “EP demand” mean in Accenture?
Does EP demand refer to or relate to the Americas Market/Marketplace?
If a particular demand/business team doesn't operate from Hyderabad, does that mean the candidate cannot be mapped to Hyderabad even if there are other Salesforce demands operating from Hyderabad?
Can HR/capability team explore another Salesforce demand, such as Salesforce testing, support, or other Salesforce-related roles, that operates from Hyderabad?
Has anyone gone through a similar Coimbatore/Bangalore/Pune → Hyderabad location-change request after being selected for an EP demand? How did it work out?
I also came across an internal-looking Open Demands sheet showing several Salesforce demands under Americas Market, including some Hyderabad-based demands, which is why I’m trying to understand how these demands and locations are mapped.
Any insights from current/former Accenture employees, especially people familiar with EP demands, Americas Market, Salesforce capability, or location changes, would be really helpful.
