Business Wire
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.
