The partners will offer advanced supply chain expertise and solutions across the value chain
Accenture and Blue Yonder are now helping clients across retail, consumer goods, and high-tech industries to outmaneuver uncertainty with intelligent supply chain transformations that capitalize on the benefits of a cloud-first approach, it was revealed in a recent press statement.
By expanding its alliance with Blue Yonder, Accenture will expand and scale its Supply Chain & Operations practice with new capabilities and skills to meet that demand.
Accenture research shows more than three-quarters (76%) of supply chain and operations c-suite executives agree that their company will accelerate its digital transformation, including its emphasis on using the cloud.
“Companies are under incredible pressure to reimagine and transform their supply chains to be more responsive, efficient, sustainable and resilient to enable purpose-led growth – and they’re prioritizing cloud at the core of their efforts,” said Kris Timmermans, Senior Managing Director and Accenture’s Global Supply Chain & Operations Lead.
“Together with Accenture, we will drive greater client value with proven methodologies that help companies achieve their visions for resilient supply chains by putting cloud at the centre,” said Mark Morgan, Executive Vice President – Worldwide Commercial Business, Blue Yonder.
Accenture and Blue Yonder will offer advanced supply chain expertise and solutions across the value chain from planning to logistics; providing end-to-end visibility, while also fast-tracking existing client journeys to a more cost-effective and agile cloud architecture. Building on its deep expertise in cloud services, the press note continued.
Leveraging Accenture’s deep industry and technology experience and its global network of Innovation Hubs, the companies will also jointly develop innovative fit-for-purpose supply chain offerings that leverage Blue Yonder’s cloud-based Luminate platform, which runs on Microsoft Azure Cloud, the statement concluded.
