The smart behind smart

WHAT WE DO

Semiconductors are “the smart behind smart”, regularly powering the world’s technological advances from behind the scenes. As more companies pivot into the smart era of analytics, artificial intelligence and the connected world, semiconductors are positioned to define and advance this technology – bringing technology from creation to the real world. Accenture has extensive experience working across the entire semiconductor ecosystem:

Integrated Device Manufacturers

Fabless Companies

Equipment Manufacturers

Transform the Core

Digitize and integrate design, engineering, manufacturing, testing and operations for new efficiencies.

“Making operations more flexible and efficient is the #1 cited strategic priority.”

Mergers and Acquisitions

Find the right target or partner to ensure integration success and perform thorough pre-merger integration planning, clean room analyses and have a rigorous post-merger integration process to capture value.

“Eight of ten high-tech companies surveyed acquired at least one company in the past two years and three of ten completed 5 or more acquisitions”

Enabling the Smart behind Smart

Leverage data to bring companies into the smart era that their products have pioneered.

“73% of semiconductor executives believe that many companies have not yet invested in the capabilities to verify the truth within the data used in their most critical systems.”

Manage the Wise Pivot

Balance investment and resource allocation between the core and adjacent markets.

“Our research shows that only 25% of companies are utilizing their investment capacity to fuel growth.”

Re-architect the Compute

Leverage the power of the cloud and high-performance computing to improve simulation and test time and shorten design verification windows all while reducing fixed costs.

“Shorter times to market with increasing product complexities are pushing infrastructure capabilities to limit forcing leadership to look for new ways to improve efficiency.”

Ecosystem Strategic Partnerships

Identify and assemble the right partners to drive new innovation and new capabilities while growing your revenue stream beyond the traditional markets.

“To maintain high growth trajectories, semiconductor companies are beginning to push their products outside the traditional tech industry.”
