RISE with SAP. SOAR with Accenture.

To succeed in today’s world, your organization must constantly adapt and evolve. It has to be permanently ready for change, with the ability to rethink and redesign business models and processes at lightning speed, and deftly exploit the latest technologies to unlock new ways of doing business.

Cloud adoption promises the agility that makes this possible and is considered a mandate by many business leaders. New research from Accenture shows that by stepping up investments in cloud, artificial intelligence and other technologies, leading organizations are growing revenue at five times the rate of their peers. Getting to the cloud is not a one-size-fits-all proposition however, especially considering the unique requirements of different industries. Finding the right combination of changes and technologies to be able to move forward with confidence can seem overwhelming.

Accenture and SAP are working together to help organizations simplify and accelerate their move to the cloud, to change their processes, customer and employee experiences, and business models across key business functions in a way that makes sense for their industry contexts and delivers most value. For companies that choose RISE with SAP as their route to cloud, we bring SOAR with Accenture–a collection of RISE with SAP-compatible assets and services that can help enable business transformation across specific industries and business functions.

We amplify RISE with SAP to help organizations SOAR

RISE with SAP is a transformation enabler that creates a new S/4HANA deployment option for our clients. SOAR with Accenture amplifies the benefits of RISE with SAP by helping enable faster and easier SAP S/4HANA migrations at all stages of an organization’s transformation journey. With advisory-led services and pre-configured solutions across industry and business functions, SOAR with Accenture can help organizations reinvent business models, processes, and customer and employee experiences. It bundles business transformation capabilities and assets — including industry and technology benchmarks and assessments, reference architectures, process models, change management practices, and industry cloud apps — to help organizations rapidly plan for, implement, and manage RISE with SAP projects.

Delivered alongside RISE with SAP, our goal for SOAR with Accenture is to raise business transformation to the next level. We aim to do this by driving the use of industry and business function leading practices and cloud capabilities and helping accelerate time to value while enabling new innovation.

Our transformation platform Accenture myConcerto is what makes SOAR with Accenture fly.

Navigating business transformation includes choosing the right cloud solution that can address specific business requirements. SOAR with Accenture includes capabilities of Accenture myNav®, a proprietary platform that can evaluate, architect and simulate what it is like to migrate and operate in the cloud. Accenture myNav evaluates multiple variables including infrastructure, operational model and business outcomes, to help determine the best journey to accelerate cloud based transformations.

SOAR with Accenture also provides organizations with a practical approach for innovation and extensibility, helping our clients to quickly create and adopt new cloud based assets and build differentiated solutions. This approach helps organizations move SAP S/4HANA to the cloud with lower risk and cost, as well as extend capabilities with SAP’s Business Technology Platform and other cloud-native technologies.

Industry solutions with SAP

To further address the unique processes and requirements of particular industries, and to accelerate their cloud adoption, we are working in close collaboration with SAP on a number of initiatives. Currently, we are engaged in more than 20 co-development and co-innovation programs that encompass SAP S/4HANA, SAP Customer Experience solutions, and sustainability.

Together, we are developing a pioneering portfolio of ground-breaking industry solutions spanning utilities, oil and gas, defense and manufacturing amongst other industries. And through our innovation program, we are developing new apps and tools using SAP solutions and hyperscaler technologies. These Accenture solutions are designed to help our clients solve their industry-specific issues and create and grasp new opportunities. So far, we have built close to 200 apps on SAP Business Technology Platform through our Liquid Studios.
