New Splunk-based solutions help clients grow
revenue and optimize operations
Accenture (NYSE: ACN) is helping Deutsche Bahn Cargo (“DB
Cargo”) and Mars Inc. uncover business insights and revenue growth
opportunities with analytics solutions powered by Splunk that
identify trends and improvement opportunities from enterprise
data.
DB Cargo, a German railway company, is using Accenture’s IoT
Factory to help customers monitor items stored in freight cars more
precisely. The IoT Factory solution provides DB Cargo with insights
from the rail operator’s internet of things (IoT) network,
including predictive maintenance based on shock detection data from
locomotives. This has enabled DB Cargo to improve the quality of
its daily sensor data and create opportunities to use data for new
revenue streams.
“Accenture and Splunk are strong ecosystem partners providing
highly professional, industrialized delivery and consulting
expertise and helping us to capture the value of real-time data
analytics for the future of rail freight,” said Fabian St�ffler,
vice president of asset digitization and head of amspire Digital
Lab at DB Cargo AG.
Accenture also offers security services with a security
information and event management solution based on Splunk’s
Enterprise Security solution. Accenture has helped Mars Inc., a
global food, confectionary, pet care, veterinary care, and food
science company, improve its cyber resilience by using actionable
intelligence and advanced analytics to detect advanced internal and
external threats.
“Thanks to the joint solutions from Accenture and Splunk, we
have turned our data into insights that drive meaningful business
outcomes,” said Gregory Poniatowski, a Senior Cyber Security
Engineer at Mars. “Our team is able to find data across departments
to enable more strategic and proactive decisions every day, which
ultimately improves our customer service and increases
productivity.”
Athina Kanioura, chief analytics officer and global lead at
Accenture Applied Intelligence, said, “We are committed to helping
our clients transform their businesses through best-in-class
AI-powered solutions and industry expertise. Our work with Splunk
is one way we are delivering on that promise, finding new value in
how data is leveraged across the enterprise, which in turn enables
us to deliver robust capabilities that help clients drive revenue
and optimize critical business operations.”
In recent survey-based research from Accenture, respondents
ranked technologies associated with real-time data capture and
analysis as the ones most important to transform/improve business
processes from among the 28 technologies included in the
survey.
Accenture’s collaboration with Splunk has resulted in new
solutions that incorporate innovative capabilities around
artificial intelligence, demand forecasting, IoT and supply chain
management. The companies began collaborating in 2016 to integrate
Splunk products and cloud services into Accenture’s application
services, security and digital offerings.
“Our fast-growing relationship with Splunk enables us to help
clients differentiate themselves and grow their business by using
data in new ways that go beyond IT and security, enabling them to
drive incremental business value across all departments within
their organizations,” said Jeff Chancey, a managing director with
Accenture’s Ecosystem and Ventures practice.
