Accenture functional solutions for SAP include : Advanced Enterprise Performance Management Organizations need accurate and actionable information to best formulate strategic plans, make the right decisions quickly and report to stakeholders. They often struggle to achieve these goals because of poor data quality and quantity as well as limited integration across multiple data sources. Accenture, working with SAP, is helping organizations extract and interpret key enterprise insight that enables them to take advantage of the integration across their SAP and non-SAP platforms to address these issues, shape their business strategy and respond quickly to market changes.

We are already working with a number of clients in the U.S. and European markets to implement Duet and Duet-type applications. Finance and Performance Management During the past two decades, many leading organizations have embraced enterprise resource planning by integrating their core business functions. However, when it comes to the finance function, organizations are facing increased pressures to generate value from more integrated processes and data as well as to comply with regulation. Accenture has deep experience in financial transformation based on SAP Financials, including transactional efficiency, financial supply chain management, controls and compliance, and corporate performance management. HR Transformation and Talent Management Accenture integrates innovative approaches in organization and change management, human resources, learning, knowledge management, performance management and talent management to help you address your most crucial people issues, reduce costs, improve workforce productivity and achieve high performance. Supply Chain Management The breadth of our experience gives clients access to advanced techniques and leading practices to help them achieve high performance in supply chain management. Recognized as a premier integrator and delivery partner for SAP SCM and SAP SRM across a broad range of industries, Accenture helps companies and governments deliver innovation to their organizations and move forward as procurement leaders. Service-oriented Architecture (SOA) and SAP NetWeaver Solutions Accenture is helping its clients optimize the potential of SAP NetWeaver, the technical foundation underneath all future SAP applications. The emergence of standards-based technologies such as Web services opens up new ways for organizations to increase speed to market, enhance flexibility and improve performance. At the same time, service-oriented architectures provide the means to design and build flexible IT solutions that enable business process components to be assembled and orchestrated more efficiently to create composite applications. SAP NetWeaver is the suite of enabling tools that meets the integration needs of composite applications. This approach not only allows organizations to deliver distinctive business services—a key component of high performance—but also increased business agility, improved collaboration with suppliers and customers and faster time to market.
