Business Wire
Accenture (NYSE:ACN) and SAP SE (NYSE:SAP) plan to expand their
collaboration on SAP S/4HANA® to develop a digital industry
platform that will help chemical companies advance a new era of
digital transformation.
Co-developed by Accenture and SAP under their SAP S/4HANA
collaboration, SAP S/4HANA Chemicals is an innovative re-launch of
SAP Best Practices for Chemicals and SAP Business All-in-One for
Chemicals solutions. Optimized to run on the SAP HANA® platform and
enhanced with SAP Fiori® UX, the new solution targets embedded
analytics, enabling real-time decision making from shop floor to
top floor and predictive “what-if” simulation capabilities. SAP
S/4HANA Chemicals provides a foundation for chemical companies of
any size to digitally transform their business models, business
processes, and the way people work. The solution is expected to be
delivered on premise or hosted in the cloud, helping to blueprint a
public cloud in the chemical industry.
“A host of forces are disrupting the chemical industry –
geopolitical risks, changing customer desires, growth challenges,
population changes, digital technology proliferation and pervasive
volatility, to name a few,” said Rachael Bartels, managing director
and Chemicals and Natural Resources global industry lead for
Accenture. “As chemical industry executives strive for growth in
this landscape, new technology can play a major role in unlocking
all available value from their processes. We look forward to
working with SAP to help our joint clients enhance their
productivity and innovation using the SAP Best Practices for
Chemicals digital platform, which will leverage our extensive
chemicals capability.”
Thorsten Wenzel, vice president and global head, Chemicals, SAP
SE, said, “More than ever before, market dynamics can jeopardize
classical business models, and chemical companies must inspire and
shape a digital chemical world in order to pave the way for
sustainable growth and outcome-oriented performance. SAP S/4HANA
Chemicals will provide them with the strategic agility and
transformative capabilities they need to achieve this. Our
collaboration with Accenture helps marry our long-term industry and
product expertise, while delivering digital innovation to the
industry.”
