New SAP Entitlement Management solution to
integrate with SAP S/4HANA®
Accenture (NYSE:ACN) is collaborating with SAP SE (NYSE:SAP) to
develop an intelligent entitlement-management solution that helps
high-tech companies quickly and easily create, build and scale new
digital business models.
Entitlement-management solutions help enable companies grant,
enforce and administer customer access entitlements – often
referred to as “authorizations,” “privileges,” “access rights”
and/or “permissions” – to data, devices and services, including
embedded software applications, from a single platform.
The new solution, SAP Entitlement Management, will help
companies dynamically change individual customer access rights and
other entitlement attributes, as well as install renewal-automation
capabilities, so they can rapidly deploy new offerings and
more-flexible pricing structures. Its entitlement-management and
embedded analytics capabilities integrate with the commerce and
order-management capabilities of the SAP S/4HANA®
enterprise-resource-planning software suite. The offering
ultimately helps enable companies generate new revenue streams and
deliver new products and services to market faster.
“As high-tech companies rapidly transition from stand-alone
products to highly connected platforms, they are under mounting
pressure to create and scale new intelligent and digital business
models,” said David Sovie, the senior managing director of
Accenture’s High-Tech practice. “The solution Accenture is
developing with SAP will help enable our clients to pivot to
as-a-service business models that are more flexible and can be
easily customized.”
For this initiative, Accenture is providing consulting, system
development and integration, solution implementation and analytics
capabilities, alongside its high-tech industry expertise.
“The high-tech industry is in a tremendous period of innovation
and business model evolution,” said Stefan Krauss, global general
manager, Discrete Manufacturing Industries, SAP. “SAP is excited
about the plans to combine our leading SAP S/4HANA platform with
Accenture’s industry expertise to create a compelling solution for
companies making the shift to an ‘as-a-service’ business
model.”
This new solution builds on Accenture and SAP’s ongoing
collaboration to develop and bring to market new industry solutions
on SAP S/4HANA.
Accenture also recently launched the Accenture Intelligent
Enterprise Platform (AIEP), an insight-driven, digitally integrated
platform that powers enterprise transformation from business case
to roadmap to delivery. The platform captures the most advanced and
disruptive Accenture thinking around industry, innovation and
technology to help companies reinvent themselves as intelligent
enterprises. As part of its capabilities, AIEP embeds SAP Model
Company services - prepackaged, ready-to-use, end-to-end reference
services tailored to an industry or line of business.
