Expanded collaboration to focus on extending
industry capabilities in SAP S/4HANA®
Accenture (NYSE:ACN) is collaborating with SAP (NYSE:SAP)
to co-develop and bring to market a new digital defense solution
designed to help defense and security agencies accelerate their
digital transformation journeys.
Extending the current defense and security capabilities of SAP®
software, the solution will be based on SAP S/4HANA®, the
intelligent enterprise resource planning suite for digital
businesses built on the SAP HANA® advanced in-memory platform.
“I’m excited that Accenture and SAP are working together to
create new intelligent solutions that support the operations of our
defense clients in a rapidly changing digital world,” said Ger
Daly, who leads Accenture’s global Defense & Public Safety
business. “This work will help clients derive the maximum benefit
from their defense investments, delivering better outcomes faster
in support of their mission.”
The digital defense solution will contain enhanced analytics
capabilities and enable greater use of digital applications by
military personnel. The solution will also offer simulation and
analytics applications to help defense agencies to plan and run
their operations effectively and efficiently and respond quickly to
changing operating environments.
“This solution gives defense agencies the capabilities to
operate in challenging and fast-changing geo-political environments
that require an intelligent platform with deployment agility,
increased situational awareness and industry-specific
capabilities,” said Antti Kolehmainen, managing director of
Accenture’s Defense business.
The technology will also enhance leadership decision-making
through data-driven insights while enabling greater data
integration across the enterprise in areas such as personnel,
military supply chain, equipment maintenance, financials and real
estate.
Enhanced internet of things integration will be enabled to
facilitate defense agencies to adopt and interconnect new devices
that are capable of collecting and exchanging data. Flexible
delivery options for both on-premise and cloud deployments will
also be available to support rapid and cost-effective deployment to
meet changing organizational needs.
Accenture and SAP are expanding their work together with select
defense agencies to jointly develop the SAP S/4HANA Defense &
Security solution to support the needs of defense industry
clients.
“The next-generation defense solution will take advantage of the
technology capabilities of SAP S/4HANA and Accenture’s deep defense
industry knowledge to help defense agencies build and deploy
solutions more easily and cost-effectively and at the same time
enable the digital transformation in defense,” said SAP’s global
general manager for Public Service Industries, Isabella
Groegor-Cechowicz.
