IHS Announces Strategic Alliance with Deloitte to Help Clients Make Better Business Decisions and Improve Performance

IHS (NYSE: IHS), the leading global source of critical information and insight, today announced it has signed a strategic alliance agreement with Deloitte Consulting LLP to leverage their combined organizational strengths, providing content, software, analytics and services that clients need to address a variety of business priorities. Under this agreement, IHS and Deloitte will begin by focusing on delivery of analytics, content and related services and solutions that help clients meet complex strategic and operational challenges.

“IHS enables organizations around the world to make faster and more confident decisions,” said IHS Vice President-EHS & Sustainability Woody Ritchey, “We see this alliance as another major step forward in our ability to advance decisions that drive innovation. By offering IHS content and systems in combination with Deloitte’s experience – in technology implementation and integration, strategy, analytics, supply chain, process redesign, controls, change management and more – we can now help our clients turn information investments into competitive advantages.”

Lee Dittmar, principal, Deloitte Consulting LLP, said, “Together, IHS and Deloitte can do more to help our clients address their business needs and achieve their goals. Many industry leaders already work with both IHS and Deloitte for help with a host of business issues including strategy, supply chain, enterprise sustainability, forecasting and risk management. Through the alliance with IHS, we can deliver services that combine our broad range of advisory, consulting and implementation services with IHS content, software and services to help our clients improve their capabilities and application of analytics.”

IHS and Deloitte both report seeing demand from companies facing the complex strategic and operational challenges related to sustainability and risk management. Some companies are struggling to meet those challenges with piecemeal spreadsheets, home-grown systems and manual processes, adding to their risks.

“We also see a growing number of companies taking a more strategic, enterprise approach. Some, including Deloitte clients, are using IHS solutions as they seek to better manage risks, improve efficiency and drive growth,” said Steve Engler, director, Deloitte & Touche LLP. “We look forward now to supporting clients who have already invested in IHS solutions, and helping others implement and leverage IHS software to address their needs in enterprise sustainability management.”

“We are pleased that Deloitte has recognized the importance of the enterprise sustainability management (ESM) market and the broad set of IHS technology solutions in that space,” said Scott Lockhart, vice president-EHS & Sustainability Solutions for IHS. “Deloitte’s experience in managing industry and IT issues is a key part of our plans to help customers address the spectrum of ESM challenges, including environmental, health and safety compliance, operational risks, greenhouse gas and energy management, product stewardship, and compliance and corporate responsibility reporting.”

The two companies will be working together initially to develop and offer services and solutions to customers in the oil and gas, utilities, metals and mining, aerospace and defense, chemicals, manufacturing and government sectors.
