Accenture and SAP have launched a new joint solution aimed at helping large enterprises migrate to the cloud and provide continuous innovation.

According to the parties, the new joint offering is the combination of the RISE with SAP solution and SOAR with Accenture services offering.

The new solution is said to have been improved with new features that cover Accenture’s suite of transformation services. These include tailored cloud services and proprietary intelligent tools, which are delivered via a cohesive as-a-service model.

RISE with SAP and SOAR with Accenture are said to combine the necessary components that large enterprises require for cloud-based transformation. The components include cloud infrastructure management, integrated delivery, application management and operations services, which are all brought together in an integrated delivery model.

Accenture chair and CEO Julie Sweet said: “The most successful companies will undergo total enterprise reinvention over the next decade, transforming every part of their business through technology, data and AI, and new ways of working and engaging with customers as well as new business models.

“SAP and Accenture are now offering the ability for large enterprises to dramatically accelerate their transformations and new opportunities for growth.”

The new joint offering from the two firms is designed to help large enterprises develop a clean core on SAP S/4HANA Cloud which can be extended as well as integrated with other cloud-native business solutions via SAP Business Technology Platform. This approach is said to support streamlined business processes which can lead to sustainable enhancements and quicker innovation across the enterprise.

SAP CEO and executive board member Christian Klein said: “SOAR with Accenture is a great complement to RISE with SAP, our cloud-based solution to drive business innovation.

“It enables enterprises with large and complex IT landscapes to accelerate and simplify their business transformation journey while benefitting from the full value of RISE with SAP. Together, Accenture and SAP provide a comprehensive solution to support our customers in becoming intelligent and sustainable enterprises.”

In a separate development, Accenture has acquired akzente, a Germany-based sustainability consultancy, for an undisclosed price. Akzente helps companies in building sustainability into the core of their businesses and generate sustainable value for their stakeholders.
