SAPPHIRE NOW 2021 is now a wrap — three weeks of wide-ranging and informative online sessions covering the breadth of SAP solutions and technologies. We were pleased to see that so many people attended our Accenture sessions (replays now available), and with the quality of the dialogue during our live workshops.

RISE with SAP. SOAR with Accenture.

As I wrote in my blog just before the conference began, we recently launched SOAR with Accenture. SOAR with Accenture accelerates and amplifies the benefits of RISE with SAP with advisory-led services and preconfigured solutions across industries and business functions, all powered by Accenture myConcerto. You can watch a replay of the session here. (Registration required.)

Also check out other Accenture sessions, including:

  • Unleash next-generation intelligent finance. Fulfill new demands for real-time insights and fully automated accounting and compliance management. Find out how to create a next-generation finance platform with SAP S/4HANA at the core of a connected finance ecosystem.
  • Unleash the power of the digital enterprise. Adopt a culture of innovation and transform with a connected ecosystem of technology. Learn how Accenture deployed SAP S/4HANA, SAP Business Technology Platform, and intelligent technologies from SAP to reimagine finance, innovate, and onboard more than 100 new acquisitions.
  • Optimize supply & spend by redefining procurement in the digital age. Achieve intelligent spend management and drive procurement savings while gathering intelligent insights for faster, more informed, and more compliant business decisions. Hear how Accenture met these goals by working with SAP to standardize, simplify, and automate its supply and spend processes.

Creating a customer-centric supply chain

As a Platinum sponsor for the supply chain track, Accenture had several opportunities to discuss our vision and solutions for the supply chain function. Accenture and SAP executives shared the screen to discuss how to Start Your Journey to a Customer-Centric Supply Chain Today. As the speakers noted, meeting customers’ new expectations for personalized products and services, while also providing the supply chain with a greater sense of responsibility and sustainability, requires a whole new digital architecture and way of working (watch a replay of the session here.)

And now, the dialogue continues. Please join us on June 29 at 11 a.m. US Eastern time for a LinkedIn Live event with executives from Accenture and SAP who will share their knowledge and experience about the customer-centric supply chain. Topics include:

  • The supply chain challenges facing businesses today
  • Why customer experience is a differentiator
  • Enabling new ways to meet customer demands
  • Evolving your supply chain to drive business value

Thank you for attending the sessions and watching the replays.
