Migration of SAP® solutions to Microsoft Azure
aims to reduce IT costs and support oil and gas and renewable
energy operations
Accenture (NYSE: ACN) is helping Equinor, an international
energy company, migrate its SAP® software environment to Microsoft
Azure public cloud.
This transformational project supports Equinor’s business
objectives to optimize IT costs and increase cost transparency by
shifting to an agile, high availability and scalable platform for
SAP systems.
Working closely with Equinor’s Cloud Management team, Accenture
will migrate and manage their SAP systems from on-premise data
centers to the Microsoft Azure cloud. This will help Equinor run IT
operations in a reliable cloud environment that includes embedded
security. Accenture will use myWizard, its proprietary intelligent
automation platform, to automate processes across the
enterprise.
Gunnar Presthus, Accenture’s global client account lead for
Equinor, said, “Accenture is excited to support Equinor in its SAP
journey to the cloud. This is a pre-requisite for digital
transformation, enabling business resilience that is key to
navigating a continually changing environment.”
Gjert Terje Gjersvik, SAP’s global account director for Equinor,
said, “Working together with Accenture we are helping to simplify
and accelerate our customer’s journey of moving their SAP systems
to Microsoft Azure to help realize the benefits of the cloud.”
Kimberly Lein-Mathisen, general manager of Microsoft Norway,
added, “This is a great example of Accenture playing an important
role as a trusted partner, enabling Equinor to reach its goals.
Equinor has an important role to play in innovation and in driving
Norway’s sustainable growth, and we are very proud to have their
SAP solutions running on Azure.”
