Accenture and SAP have joined forces to help companies enable connected intelligence across the enterprise to drive speed and agility in the AI era.
Through a strategic expansion of their long-standing partnership, both launched ADVANCE at SAP Sapphire in Orlando on Tuesday. For the first time, the two companies have worked together to create a pathway to the cloud for organisations pursuing high growth with annual revenue of up to $5 billion, according to an announcement by SAP. This will help create more connected, intelligent, and responsive enterprises.
To support the unique needs of this customer segment, Accenture will invest in a dedicated practice of go-to-market and SAP-certified SaaS professionals, who will collaborate closely with SAP product specialists, the announcement said.
“To drive real transformation, companies need technology and services that help them move faster, operate more efficiently and scale with confidence,” said Christian Klein, CEO of SAP. “ADVANCE brings the full strength of SAP Business Suite with Accenture’s business transformation services to a new generation of businesses, helping them grow quickly and respond with agility to new opportunities and challenges.”
Julie Sweet, Chair and CEO, Accenture, said by bringing together the very best of Accenture and SAP, ADVANCE can help growing companies gain the speed, agility and resilience they need to meet the challenges and seize the opportunities of today’s dynamic business environment.
