Derek Ong

I am a Managing Director and Technology Delivery Lead, helping clients implement systems related to the order-to-cash value chain—processes for receiving and processing customer orders.

We recently worked with DuPont as it became a separate entity from global chemical giant DowDuPont and needed to establish independent manufacturing technology capabilities. We helped them implement a cloud-based solution that could be leveraged by everyone in the organization.

I was responsible for migrating 500 applications from Dow to DuPont. I led my team members, giving them the autonomy to make decisions, and we collaborated with other Accenture teams to ensure integration across solutions, technology and processes.

We delivered on time and within budget. We made a difference by moving many of the larger enterprise applications onto Microsoft Azure to promote long-term scalability and elasticity.

My team included Managing Director Adam Cooper, who enabled our team to bring their technical expertise and creativity to the tasks at hand; Software Developer Manager Robert Jones, who helped manage laboratory data; Management Consultant Michael Niemann, who focused on strategy and documentation; and Senior Manager Dixit Patel, who led the migration of manufacturing quality systems.
