- Integrating 50+ Accenture enterprise
analytics applications with SAP® Leonardo
- Plans to incorporate SAP Leonardo
capabilities into Accenture Liquid Studios to design and develop
solutions
- Applying Accenture’s Industry X.0
approach to SAP Leonardo at the Accenture Industrial IoT Innovation
Center in Garching, Germany
SAP SE (NYSE:SAP) and Accenture (NYSE:ACN) announced an expanded
collaboration to co-innovate, co-develop and jointly go to market
with breakthrough digital solutions based on the new SAP® Leonardo
digital innovation system. The long-standing strategic partners
will focus on embedding digital technologies including additional
machine learning, analytics and the Internet of Things (IoT) at the
core of clients’ businesses to deliver even greater value from
their SAP investments.
“Every CEO in the world is focused on digital innovation,” said
Bill McDermott, chief executive officer of SAP. “With SAP HANA and
SAP Leonardo, we are alone in delivering the power of in-memory
computing together with a rich combination of modern digital
technologies. We could not be more pleased to announce an expanded
partnership with Accenture to create a new wave of
industry-specific digital solutions for our customers.”
"Today, we’re at an incredible tipping point,” said Pierre
Nanterme, chairman and CEO, Accenture. “We’re face to face with an
era of tremendous business transformation where the fundamental
rules of how we create value are being rewritten. What we’re
announcing today is a bold step in defining the rules for the
intelligent enterprise. Combining our broad industry expertise and
leading digital capabilities with SAP, we will unlock new business
value for clients in ways we’ve not seen before.”
This is the latest step in a process that began 18 months ago
with the companies working together on SAP S/4HANA® to simplify and
fast-track clients’ digital journeys toward becoming intelligent
enterprises.
Accenture and SAP are now expanding their current co-development
program to include intelligent analytics solutions delivered by
Accenture Digital and powered by SAP Leonardo. The new offerings
will be designed to allow clients to tailor predictive models to
their specific business situations, enabling better results through
real-time insights and improved decision making.
Accenture plans to integrate more than 50 of its proven
enterprise analytics applications across finance and accounting,
supply chain, procurement, human capital management, and sales and
customer service. By combining solutions like Accenture’s Payables
Optimizer and Advanced Inventory Management with SAP Leonardo, it
is anticipated that clients will be able to reduce capital costs
and optimize the supply chain to meet the real-time demands of
customers.
Accenture will also apply its Industry X.0 approach and
Industrial Internet of Things expertise to help clients leverage
SAP Leonardo to enable the digital reinvention of industries.
Through Industry X.0, clients will be able to achieve new levels of
efficiency, uncover new sources of growth and deliver
hyper-personalized customer experiences.
The Accenture Industrial IoT Innovation Center in Garching,
Germany and the Accenture Innovation Hub in Houston will develop
analytics and Industry X.0 solutions based on SAP Leonardo. At
Accenture Liquid Studios, Accenture will work together with clients
to create SAP Leonardo–based solutions at speed, by applying design
thinking and agile methodologies.
