In the future, supply chains will emphasize resilience through localized, flexible, and decarbonized value chains. Collaboration, transparency, and adaptability will be paramount as they become more inter-connected, diversified and responsive to dynamic global demands and disruptions. #accenture For insights, listen to my discussion with SAP's Richard Howells and Nicole Smythe, MBA. https://lnkd.in/gaVeYuTk

RISE with SAP and Clean Digital Core Journey @ Accenture Their scale poses unique challenges. They have grown exponentially, including expanding into more diverse businesses ($9B in acquisitions over three years), which increases system complexity and makes upgrades cost and resource intensive. Concurrently, the post-pandemic global economy continues to see slowing growth and elevated inflation, prompting Accenture, like so many large enterprises, to focus on cost reductions and workforce transformation. To tackle these challenges, they sought an improved approach to harness industry-standard solutions, enhance both quality and predictability, and adopt a consumption-oriented model, minimizing capital expenditure investments instead of ownership. Here they didn't choose an IaaS approach to re-host OP SW, solutions and ways of operating but a modern Cloud approach to accelerate their transformation. https://lnkd.in/eVgmPbVk

RISE Accenture RISE! As a global leader in professional services, Accenture has seen tremendous growth, investing $14B in over 177 acquisitions over the last five years. This expansion highlighted the limitations of their legacy ERP system—complex, costly, and inflexible. Eli Lambert, Managing Director of Global IT Finance Platforms, shared, "Large enterprises often face challenges with speed, agility, and innovation due to expansive landscapes and legacy systems." To address this, Accenture partnered with SAP to migrate to #RISEwithSAP, simplifying their IT landscape and reducing costs. This transformation improved work/life balance, enhanced employee skills, and streamlined operations with cloud solutions. With a focus on a modern digital core strategy, Accenture achieved significant performance improvements, winning the “Business Innovator” category at the 2024 SAP Innovation Awards. As Eli Lambert said, this is just the beginning. #SAP #Accenture #Innovation #ERP #Cloud

Accenture's SAP Leadership Council highlights the growing demand for SAP expertise. However, businesses should carefully evaluate if Accenture's regional focus and nearshoring strategies align with their global needs and data residency requirements. #SAP #Accenture #GoogleCloud #DigitalTransformation #CloudComputing #this_post_was_generated_with_ai_assistance #responsibleai https://lnkd.in/e9sBqFgE

Building Beyond Our Teams: The Importance of Partner Ecosystems While strong internal teams are crucial, success often hinges on nurturing connections beyond your immediate circle. This includes fostering collaborative partnerships with your service provider ecosystem. Today, I want to acknowledge the value of building sustainable relationships with Accenture. It's not just about getting things done but investing in long-term success together. I'm grateful to Jyothi Shekar Shetty for their dedication, flying down from Bangalore to solidify our partnership for the AXIAL Programme- SAP S/4HANA Transformation. This intentional effort in building relationships is a key ingredient in our journey, and I look forward to a fruitful collaboration. #partnership #ecosystem #collaboration #Accenture #success #astrazeneca

Accenture’s acquisition of Camelot Management Consultants marks what looks like another year of prolific M&A activity for Accenture, and strong acquisition demand for cutting-edge capabilities in digital and AI-enabled supply chain transformation. Kennedy's Consulting Monitor highlights supply chain as one of the top three functions for growth in the next two years. The bounce back in deal activity in such disrupted segments of the knowledge economy was also discussed on our latest M&A podcast. #consulting #consultingindustry #consultingsector #professionalservices #knowledgeeconomy #innovationeconomy #consultancy #futureofconsulting #futureofprofessionalservices

Look, I Don’t Want to Just Self-Promote… Instead, I want to share a genuine mistake I’ve seen some of my clients make—and it’s one that can seriously hold a company back. Too often, businesses stick with their ECC systems, assuming that what worked 15 years ago is still good enough today. But here’s the thing: those processes are built on outdated strategies and tech. 🌍 This isn’t just about upgrading your system—it’s about rethinking your entire approach. S/4HANA isn’t just the future; it’s the key to staying competitive in a world that’s moving faster than ever. I work with global brands, helping them source high-quality talent from my own network to drive these critical transformations. If this resonates with you, and you think I might know what I’m talking about, let’s connect. I’d love to help you navigate this transformation. My email is btan@masentogroup.com.

Hi everyone, Supply Chains continue to face so many challenges - post pandemic recovery; navigating Brexit and numerous geo-political developments in recent months, to state just a few. Technology, ecosystems and partnerships will help support the way forward. I spent a great two days with SAP this week for Capgemini; exploring Supply Chain capability developments with SAP and how we can drive these forward together for a better tomorrow… Mike Dwyer Nicholas Wilson Graham Upton CEng FIMechE FRAeS Laura Colvine #capgemini #IBM #supplychain #intelligentindustry
