Accenture’s research on the future of procurement suggests that
a digitally powered procurement organization will continue to
significantly drive down its operating costs, while delivering more
strategic value to the larger enterprise. Fundamental to achieving
this is the ability to capture the transformational power of
digital technologies at speed, especially cloud services, real-time
analytics and cognitive systems.
The High Velocity Sourcing and Procurement solution supports
this change with a preconfigured, fully functional and cloud-based
package built on Accenture’s accumulated knowledge and experience
of leading sourcing and procurement business processes and the
latest technology implementation services. With an accelerated
timeline and agile implementation to achieve speed to value, the
solution also minimizes risk by providing all the necessary
standardization and preconfigured assets and components to rapidly
and efficiently implement SAP® Ariba® solutions. With these
predefined project deliverables that compress project schedules,
organizations can reduce implementation cost and effort in creating
best-in-class sourcing and procurement processes.
“Our sourcing and procurement capabilities for SAP Ariba
solutions cover the end-to-end source-to-pay cycle for all spend
categories,” said Steve Davenport, global managing director of
Accenture’s SAP Sourcing and Procurement practice. “Our High
Velocity Sourcing and Procurement solution combines these
capabilities with our experience from more than 75 SAP Ariba
solution implementations across more than 50 countries to help
clients increase spend visibility, mitigate risk, and drive down
operating costs faster and with less risk than ever before.”
“Our customers are constantly looking for ways to reduce cost
and risk, and gain speed when it comes to implementing cloud
solutions,” said David Johnston, senior vice president, Partner
Ecosystem, SAP Ariba. “Through this Accenture solution, we
anticipate that our mutual customers will benefit from Accenture’s
experience and the standardization needed to help them quickly and
efficiently reap the results of implementing SAP Ariba
solutions.”
