“The leadership positionings by the IDC MarketScape reflect our vision of the future supply chain and ongoing commitment to helping clients with digital transformations powered by data, artificial intelligence and cloud,” said Kris Timmermans, Accenture’s Supply Chain & Operations global lead. “Leveraging our strategic ecosystem relationships, our clients are driving greater efficiencies, enhanced customer experiences and new growth in a responsible and sustainable way.”
In all three IDC MarketScape reports, Accenture's competitive strength is centered around its ability to understand and deliver enterprise solutions that span the people, process, and technology needs of clients with the transformative power of data. The report highlights the breadth and depth of services delivered together through One Accenture solutions that support clients across the entire supply chain from initial design to ongoing operations.
“For the foreseeable future, companies that invest in resiliency and digital competencies in their supply chains will outperform those that do not,” said Simon Ellis, group vice president, supply chain strategies lead, IDC. “Accenture’s position as a leader across all three MarketScapes demonstrates its ability to implement intelligent supply chain solutions, align operating models with business strategies, infuse sustainability into global operations and enhance the skills and capabilities of the supply chain workforce.”
The IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Supply Chain SAP Ecosystems 2021 Vendor Assessment highlights Accenture’s unmatched expertise and global reach spanning the full range of supply chain management solutions from SAP, and extensive set of applications that complement those solutions to provide additional value to its clients, such as the myConcerto platform. Accenture's approach to supply chain management with SAP solutions is differentiated by the combination of industry expertise, services and SAP capabilities and its end-to-end scope.
According to the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Supply Chain Oracle Ecosystems 2021 Vendor Assessment, Accenture is adept at helping Oracle Supply Chain Management clients seamlessly navigate complex digital journeys, all the way from advisory services through the implementation of a complete cloud solution, into ongoing support and continuous improvement. This is enabled through the visualization of business processes using Accenture’s best-in-class digital tools such as myConcerto and myConcierge, among others.
The IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Supply Chain All Other Ecosystems 2021 Vendor Assessment covers additional vendors providing supply chain management applications. The report describes Accenture’s ability to support end-to-end transformation and help clients transform linear supply chains into digital supply networks. Accenture not only has the experience to implement and support leading applications, but the cross-platform depth to provide real-world perspectives to help clients compare, contrast, and choose the right platform or group of platforms.
Emma McGuigan, Accenture’s Intelligent Platform Services global lead, added, “This recognition further validates our asset-led approach to helping clients with enterprise-wide transformation and accelerating the path to value through the combination of intelligent cloud-based platforms and human ingenuity to drive positive changes.”
