The reports state that, “The world is transforming into a
digital place, and enterprises are undertaking an unprecedented
digital journey. This change is putting tremendous pressure on
enterprise applications that need to be robust and flexible enough
to support the myriad of new digital systems, processes and
applications, including real-time insights. The need for a strong
core ERP backbone to act as a solid foundation on which to layer
additional business models and channels is ever-more acute.”
Murphy Oil applied the latest digital technologies for upstream
operations, production, procurement, maintenance, finance, revenue,
HR, and other functions. This included the cloud-based Accenture
Upstream Direct on the SAP HANA platform, and SAP Ariba and SAP
SuccessFactors solutions. “We worked with Accenture to implement
Accenture Upstream Direct and multiple SAP solutions that helped
increase operational efficiencies and better prepared us for a
competitive market,” said Mike Orr, Director, Digital
Transformation, Murphy Oil. “Accenture’s experience with SAP
implementations helped the process move smoothly and quickly.”
“We are very pleased and proud that Gartner continues to
recognize our strengths, which we believe have grown year over year
and attest to our long-term client relationships, capability and
solution expansion, and our unique collaboration with SAP to join
forces in the core and industry development and go-to-market of
SAP® S/4HANA®,” said Christophe Mouille, global managing director
of SAP business for Accenture. “By combining this collaboration
with our industry knowledge and apps from our Liquid Studio for SAP
Solutions, we help organizations build and extend a core platform
that powers the digital enterprise and takes advantage of new
technologies such as SAP Cloud Platform, IoT, artificial
intelligence, machine learning, analytics and mobile.”
Accenture was also positioned as a Leader in the Gartner Magic
