Accenture CIO Podcast

To enhance the way employees work, Accenture is equipping more than 400,000 people with Microsoft's OneDrive for Business, offering secure file storage in the cloud, cost savings in keeping laptop hard drives small, and new usability and collaboration capabilities.

With SAP Ariba's launch of its guided buying capability on its Procure-to-Pay (P2P) software-as-a-service (SaaS), Accenture's internal Procurement and IT organizations seized the opportunity to be an early adopter of the new capability to drive improved usability and increased procurement savings.

One of the ways Accenture is driving its own internal agenda is to digitally enable Accenture people with the ability to work productively and collaborate across the globe. A major component of this program is equipping employees with the latest Microsoft tools, through the deployment of Microsoft Windows 10.

To continue building on its culture of innovation, while reflecting the differentiation of its businesses, the future work environment and the demographics of its workforce, Accenture set out to reimagine performance management for the company.

Digital transformation is redefining the way Accenture works every day. This includes transforming the role of the traditional office into digital workplaces - transforming the way Accenture people work.

For Accenture's IT organization, providing high-quality technology support for approximately 400,000 employees and contractors in more than 200 cities in 56 countries requires robust IT service management (ITSM) tools. Accenture is innovating service management for employees using the ServiceNow platform.

An important component of Accenture's transformation into a digital-first enterprise is a three-year cloud program led by our internal IT organization. It's a program that aims to deliver a more scalable, robust enterprise IT infrastructure in the public cloud.

At Accenture, the ability to efficiently and effectively execute sales activities to support our growth aspirations is a crucial objective. Accenture delivers a "one-stop shop" solution for all sales needs with Manage mySales - a single platform that can be used anywhere, anytime.
