Huntsman Corporation (NYSE:HUN) has selected Accenture
(NYSE:ACN) to help improve its use of business analytics and to
drive standardization and efficiency through the design and
implementation of an integrated enterprise performance management
system built on the SAP HANA® platform.
Accenture, working with Huntsman, will design, implement and
manage enterprise performance management and business intelligence
applications that support Huntsman’s operations globally.
The new solution is expected to improve the speed of reporting
and will lay a foundation for better decision making. It will serve
all of Huntsman’s global businesses and corporate functions and
will include financial consolidations, management reporting and
business intelligence spanning a broad range of financial and
operational processes.
“In order to effectively compete in today’s environment, we need
a modern, integrated system that enables us to make use of our data
to improve decision making, planning and reporting,” said Randy W.
Wright, vice president and corporate controller from Huntsman. “We
selected Accenture to help us with this implementation due to its
knowledge of our business, proven track record with SAP HANA®
systems and analytics experience.”
Edmund Delussey, managing director and digital lead for
chemicals & natural resources at Accenture, said: “Working
together with Huntsman, we have been able to develop a self-funding
program of strategy, technology and analytics initiatives that
justified a business case to implement the SAP HANA® platform. The
resulting solution, provided by Accenture Analytics, part of
Accenture Digital, will be simpler and easier to maintain and
should provide Huntsman with additional business insights across
the organization.”
