Embracing the power of change to be future ready
Accenture runs its core financial processing on a single global instance of SAP S/4HANA® on Microsoft Azure—a demonstration of embracing change as a powerful source of progress.
Accenture is a leading global professional services company. Our scale and range of services require us to operate with insight, agility, efficiency and compliance across multiple business units and business processes. Our move to running our production SAP S/4HANA system on Microsoft Azure put Accenture among the first enterprises to do so.
We combined technology with our people’s ingenuity to deliver new value. Today, all our SAP applications are on the latest versions, driven by the latest database technology and 100% in the cloud. And we stay current, so we are well positioned to respond to future growth. We are our own best credential in many SAP domains.
