SAP

Intel and SAP have worked together for five years to drive a new, cost effective infrastructure solution for HANA. Accenture was selected as the leading SI to help drive this solution in market. Our goal is to develop market differentiated solutions delivered by Accenture, powered by Intel and SAP.

Not everyone is currently using HANA, however, by 2025, all SAP databases must use HANA. Therefore, over the next seven years, while clients determine their approach to migration, they also need to identify the right time to upgrade current R/3 hardware and consider the feasibility of moving SAP to the cloud.

Mainframe

Intel-Accenture JI helps clients develop the right approach to mainframe modernization. A team of specialists from both firms can help analyze a client’s mainframe environment and suggest the fastest and most cost-efficient modernization strategy.

Often, their legacy environment prevents this agile approach to servicing clients. Accenture and Intel are seeking to help clients modernize expansive, inflexible legacy environments and rapidly move to nimble platforms that enable digital business.
