“We believe this model can help us be more efficient, agile,
capable and secure,” said Zhanna Golodryga, SVP, Services and CIO
for Hess Corporation, “by giving us important capabilities that use
the latest digital services and technologies.”
Under the terms of the five-year agreement, Accenture and Hess
will work on planning, design and implementation of a technology
solution that links field assets to a network of cloud-based
offerings, delivered as-a-Service, with consumption-based pricing
focused on reducing cost, increasing production, and simplifying
technology. The project includes migrating Hess’ applications and
servers to the cloud.
Accenture will support the migration and redevelopment of
applications using its cloud transformation services with security
applications, and leveraging features of leading public-cloud
providers for scalability.
“Challenging industry headwinds and continued commodity price
volatility make it clear that a Journey to Cloud transformation for
our energy clients’ core businesses gives them a competitive
advantage in today’s As-a-Service economy,” said Jack Sepple,
senior managing director, Accenture Cloud and Accenture Operations
group technology officer. “By leveraging our Cloud First approach
and leading industry and technology capabilities for a
consumption-based mode, Hess will be able to tap only the services
it needs when and where it needs them, reducing extraneous costs
and burden of legacy IT.”
“Hess is pioneering cloud capabilities, Big Data and Machine
Learning technologies in the energy industry to reduce cost and
inefficiency across the company, including maintenance and
operations,” said John Coffey, managing director, Accenture Energy.
“Digital As-a-Service capabilities, such as predictive analytics,
can improve not only maintenance and uptime by heading off
incidents, but also well reservoir planning and design; drilling
and completions; and remote well monitoring.”
