A note from
Emma
Welcome to CY2023! In E&I we have started the
new year off with lots of energy.
Over the past few years, we’ve witnessed a shift
in the ways our clients buy technology. They no
longer feel tied to one provider, but instead seek
out the best, most relevant solutions from across
a variety of platform providers and applications.
We’ve responded by helping clients integrate
those disparate technologies, bolstering their
digital core. We wanted to find out what’s behind
these purchasing behaviors, so we launched our
first E&I iconic research, Value Untangled. We
found that even more of Accenture’s clients plan
to work with multiple tech providers in the future,
and they are in urgent need of our help
integrating those solutions. In fact, if they don’t
ensure their technology stack is fully
interoperable, they run the risk of losing out.
Companies with high interoperability grew
revenue 6X faster than their peers with low
interoperability. Interoperability is key to
unlocking the value of technology investments
and growing revenue.
Read on to find out more about Value Untangled
(page 6), and the Composable Tech Studio
(pages 11-12) we’ve launched to accelerate our
work helping clients tap into value. Get in touch
with the studio lead Raghavan Iyer today to find
out how you can help!

Reinventing Randstad
One client’s journey
to global unity
“Do not mess it up,” warns Martin de Weerdt,
Global CIO of human resources consulting firm
Randstad. “We’ll mess it up a bit—but if we don't
mess it up too much, we'll all be fine.”
The straight-talking CIO is referring to the clientconsultant relationship—in particular, Accenture’s
multi-year project helping Randstad transform
with Salesforce. The success of that project,
argues Martin, is incumbent on team
commitment, trust—facilitated by the right kind
of contract—and doing the right thing, “because
then the outcome is good for everyone.”
Randstad is a conglomerate of 39 global
companies. A market leader in France, Holland,
Spain and Italy, there is still ample room for
growth. “We believe we’re the largest company
of this kind, and we aim to become a global
company to compete in the market.” Key to that
is Randstad’s ongoing collaboration with
Accenture to create a single platform for its
finance and HR teams, as well as talent and
clients, so it can operate as one integrated
organization. “We want to be able to deliver a
beautiful app once, not 39 times across each
company,” says Martin. “The transformation will
help us harness the vast company, optimize our
service delivery globally, and reduce IT costs. “
The transformation will take three to four years,
with some finance services moving to a
centralized, shared service center. Currently, its
39 organizations are using a combination of SAP,
spreadsheets, Fusion, Dynamics and more. The
transformation will also better serve talent that
require a more mobile and virtual way of doing
business.
“If we want to compete in the digital staffing
business, which is short-term, mobile and virtual,
we have to be able to play on a global level so we
can easily use talent from Bulgaria to work for
clients in Holland, and vice versa.”
Randstad has a lot riding on the transformation.
As such, trust is at the heart of the project’s
success. And that begins with the contract. “We
have done a very light tender because we want a
party that will go with us on this journey. The
contract must enable flexibility, transparency,
and a win for everybody. It must have a certain
fixed fee, but also stage gates with bonuses to
ensure everybody does the right thing.” Martin
points out that while Accenture is often very
focused on KPIs, Randstad is more focused on
doing the right thing. “We're a company that will
make it right if we’re jointly successful. That’s
where trust comes in.”
With the right contract and mutual trust in place,
what else does Randstad expect from its partner?
“Like many IT implementations, this is a truly
transformational journey, and we'll find obstacles
along the way. We need Accenture to tell us
when the way we do things doesn’t make sense,
and how to simplify to reduce costs. That comes
down to trust, but also the composition of the
team and their skills. Last but not least, we want a
willingness to fight early! If I make a wrong move,
I expect you to come kicking at my door. That's
Accenture’s job.”

E&I is accelerating radical growth through
interoperability
In an unpredictable world, the ability to quickly
adapt to new circumstances, adopt new
technologies and otherwise remain nimble allows
companies to thrive. With the integration of these
technologies, people and processes, they can
untangle value from chaos and accelerate
growth.
To learn more about the value of agility,
Accenture surveyed 4,000+ C-suite respondents
from mid- to large companies to find out what it
takes to remain agile in an unpredictable world.
They found that in the last two years alone, one in
two companies had to transform multiple parts of
their business at the same time or execute a
single large transformation much faster than ever
before. Companies with the agility to perform
these kinds of compressed transformations
had one thing in common: high interoperability.
“To compress transformation from years to
months, or even days, everything must be
integrated and interoperable,” says Emma
McGuigan, co-author of our Value Untangled
Inspiring Minds
Value Untangled
report. “One in three companies have prioritized
this level of agility and are untangling value to
race past their competitors in revenue growth,
efficiency and resiliency by using
interoperability to spark total enterprise
reinvention.”
When enterprise applications can easily interact
with each other and exchange data, it enables a
seamless user experience and creates a single
source of truth, leading to better decision
making, human connections and insight
generation. Companies with high interoperability
are 11% more likely to sustain compressed
transformations because they can pivot quickly
and take advantage of new opportunities. They
can grow revenue up to 6x faster than their peers
with low interoperability, unlocking up to 5% in
annual revenue growth. As an example, if two
similar companies start with $10 billion in revenue
today, the company with high interoperability
would stand to make $8 billion more than the
company with low interoperability over the next
five years.
| 06
Companies with high interoperability—especially
those that manufacture, source or sell physical
goods—also outpace companies with low/no
interoperability in profitability, resiliency and
other value-creation measures critical to
business. For example, we found that companies
with high interoperability were:
• More efficient: 12% better at improving their
supply chain and operations
• More successful at CX: 16% better at
reinventing customer experience
• More productive: 12% more likely to be
successful when improving employee
productivity is a priority
• More sustainable: 4% more likely to be
successful at embracing sustainable business
practices
CXOs need to understand that integrated
enterprise applications can enable businesses to
move from siloed technology and fragmented
data to connected solutions, agility and
resiliency.
“The time is now to accelerate compressed
transformation and benefit from driving value
with an interoperable digital core,” says
Enterprise & Industry Technologies Europe Lead,
Jan van den Bremen, co-author of the Value
Untangled report.
Integration enables true business transformation,
creating additional value in meeting customer
demands, developing new revenue streams, and
competing in the market—but requires new
methods of thinking and working that E&I can
help clients with. “E&I brings together the core
ERP capabilities with connected services that
allow our customers to run a new digital core,”
says van den Bremen.
But how does interoperability
create such far-reaching value?
At its core, interoperability connects technology,
people and processes. It does so by creating a
common language across critical applications
and systems, enabling a deeper understanding
of data without the cost and effort of building a
data lake. When data silos are removed,
functional silos can begin to collaborate.
“The time is now to
accelerate compressed
transformation and
benefit from driving
value from a new digital
core enabled by
interoperability”

This inherent synergy reduces duplicative efforts,
reveals hidden bottlenecks and builds better
human connections, improving the following
value drivers:
1. Transparency: Interoperability unites data
silos, allowing for greater data visibility
throughout the enterprise and better decision
making. Deploying process mining tools on
interoperable business applications enables
enterprises to improve visibility across all
business processes.
2. Agility: Interoperability better manages
dependencies, providing the agility to
transform multiple business functions fast
and at the same time. It enables the right IT
infrastructure needed for successful
transformations by 13%.
3. Productivity: Interoperability eliminates the
chance that multiple people work on the
same task and streamlines data sharing. It
also reduces the time spent toggling between
applications, something that can account for
nearly two hours of every employee’s
workday. For a company that has 10,000
employees, this amounts to a productivity
gain of almost 15,000 hours.
4. Experience: Interoperability enables holistic,
real-time access to customer data stored
across systems, which allows a laser focus on
customer needs. Highly interoperable
companies are 15% more likely to be able to
improve customer experience when it’s a
priority.
5. Scalability: Interoperability creates incontext connections, ensuring that cuttingedge innovation reaches across the business
faster—which increases the ROI by 7%.
Interoperability won’t
break the bank.
Our research shows that leading companies
are able to achieve high interoperability with
just 2-4% higher IT and functional budgets
directed at applications, while handling as
many (if not more) diverse applications within
their IT stack.
Interoperability is now in reach
The concept of interoperability isn’t new, but the
ability to manifest it is. This is due to three
technology changes that make it easier for
organizations to configure and reconfigure
applications as needed around their digital core:
1. Ubiquity of cloud: Many organizations have
already moved to the cloud, giving them a
common data layer that provides a single
source of truth.
2. Improved application design: Modern
applications are designed to share data. They
have simplified interfaces and support
additional capabilities.
3. Low-cost applications: The large number of
specialized applications on the market has
reduced the cost.
Our research finds that only one in three
companies is capitalizing on these technological
advances to untangle the value trapped within
their organization. These companies are racing
past their competitors because they make high
interoperability central to their overall business
and technology strategy.

How to improve interoperability
and thrive in uncertainty
Our research uncovered the best practices and
common pitfalls C-suite respondents faced on
their way to high interoperability, as well as what
enabled them to compress their transformation.
Here’s what we learned.
1. Leverage the Cloud
Companies that successfully improve their
interoperability start by moving existing
applications to the cloud and investing in
new, cloud-based enterprise applications
(SaaS). They use the cloud to connect data
and experiences across applications, creating
one version of truth. Nearly 72% of companies
with high/medium interoperability have
adopted public cloud and already migrated
30% of their data and workloads. Only 60% of
low/no interoperability companies have
adopted public cloud, a 12% lag. Companies
with high interoperability use the cloud to
change the way they work and standardize
and simplify processes—enabling real-time
insights and creating strategic agility.
2. Utilize composable tech
Composable tech requires shifting from a
technology architecture of static, standalone
parts to one of composable pieces. This
involves using prebuilt, interoperable
solutions to swap and plug-and-play smaller
application components, creating new
applications without wider disruption. These
solutions are often curated for specific
industries and functions and future proof
organizations so they have the dexterity to
quickly adopt the technologies of tomorrow.
With data flowing between connected
applications, companies can easily share
information with the entire organization so
everyone is on the same page, creating a
common purpose and driving better
decisions.
3. Focus on meaningful collaboration
Any transformation that doesn’t include
people is bound to fail. Meaningful
collaboration is enabled by interoperability
and happens when functions and people
work together seamlessly towards a
common goal. They can use real-time data,
analytics and AI, together with new ways of
working, to unlock the value of technology,
empower people and achieve better
outcomes. Companies with high
interoperability have an unwavering focus on
improving human connections with trust and
skills. They continuously invest in pervasive
training, empowering IT and non-IT decision
makers to make sound application choices.
They also build data-sharing mindsets to
prevent data hoarding.

start with $10 billion in
revenue today, the
company with high
interoperability would
stand to make $8 billion

Interoperability: Value Untangled
Today’s companies must be able to anticipate
and respond to uncertainty—supply shocks,
economic disruptions, competitive threats or
new growth opportunities—as it happens, not
when the opportunity has passed. The key to
achieving this is to compress transformations
from years to months or days, and this is only
possible when everything is integrated and
interoperable.
Interoperability is a catalyst for Total Enterprise
Reinvention, enabling businesses to move from
siloed technology and fragmented data to
connected solutions, agility and resiliency,
unlocking additional value in meeting customer
demands, developing new revenue streams, and
competing in the market.

Qantas flies above the
turbulence
Australia’s flagship airline is one of the few
that thrived despite the pandemic. The global
airline sector saw more than $174 billion in
losses by the end of 2021, yet Qantas became
more financially secure and witnessed a 120%
stock price surge. How? The airline quickly
pivoted to domestic travel when Australia
shut its borders in March 2020, orchestrating
its biggest network expansion in a decade by
adding 45 domestic routes. When a
competitor significantly scaled back
operations, Qantas won over many of its
frequent fliers—expanding its own market
share to 74%. This compressed
transformation was possible due to Qantas’s
three-year recovery plan. Launched in 2019, it
laid out targeted investments in digital and
data capabilities centered on creating a better
customer experience through personalization,
driving new operational efficiencies and
broadening the group's earnings base beyond
the core aviation business. It used SAP
Qualtrics to elevate its customer and
employee experiences and partnered with
Workday to bring its enterprise applications
into the cloud. It also focused on integration
and interoperability, leading to a 10X increase
in the number of APIs and 5X growth in the
volume of communication that flows through
those APIs—at half its legacy operating costs.

E&I Insights
Composing for
agility
How to become
integrated and agile
Composable technology is the key to helping
our clients succeed in an era of compressed
transformation.
There are three key steps to unlocking the value
of technology investments faster using
composable technology:
Compressed transformations, aimed at driving
resilience, innovation and differentiated
outcomes, rely on high levels of interoperability
across IT systems and applications.
Organizations operate 1,048 applications on
average today, and 81% expect to add to that
number as they move toward multi-cloud
capabilities. Composable technology unlocks
the value of those applications by ensuring
they work together to drive outcomes across
the business, rather than in functional siloes. It
requires a fundamental shift—from creating a
technology architecture composed of static,
monolithic and standalone parts to creating
one made up of composable pieces. By
connecting platforms and applications, running
them in the cloud, and adding an advanced
data integration layer, businesses are able to
decipher the data required to make better,
faster decisions.
1. Build on the digital core
Companies are most agile when their
applications are run in the cloud and built on a
digital core—the organization’s backbone. The
digital core stores the operational platforms that
keep the business running. It underpins total
enterprise reinvention by providing agility,
flexibility, easy interoperability and resilience. As
an example, we are helping Vodafone EVO
evolve its digital core by composing SAP
S/4HANA and other SAP on-premise solutions
with software-as-a-service (SaaS) flexibility and a
Google Cloud model. The transformation will
help improve business agility and create a
modern, scalable and future-ready ERP system.
Composable tech compresses transformation
time by leveraging proven, repeatable solutions
that can be configured and reconfigured at
speed to address changing business needs—
and set the stage for rapid value realization.
That includes accelerating the path to financial
value, and to greater innovation, reinvented
experiences and strategic outcomes. For
example, 44 percent of the organizations we
surveyed reported that interoperability will
significantly change how they report and track
environmental impact over the next three-tofive years.
| 11
2. Create one enterprise data model
An underlying enterprise data architecture paired
with structured data helps businesses keep pace
amid rapid change. A digital integration hub can
provide the integration and data management
services needed to make sure data and
applications work together seamlessly. As an
example, we helped Mars combine on-site and
cloud technologies to create a digital factory
foundation. By connecting internet of things (IoT)
sensors into the digital factory foundation we
enabled real time monitoring, while a digital twin
lets users test possible actions without disrupting
operations.
3. Accelerate with proven, repeatable solutions
To be truly agile and drive real-time reinvention,
our clients can harness pre-integrated,
preconfigured solutions that plug into their core
operations at speed. These solutions are curated
for specific industries and functions, letting
organizations easily plug the technologies of
tomorrow into today’s business. For example, we
preconfigured a smart fleet solution using the
Microsoft Azure Asset IoT Hub to integrate realtime equipment data from IoT sensors and SAP
master and transactional data This provided
technicians with a single, interactive map of all
their equipment. By combining repeatable
solutions, we helped reduce production downtime
and inventory shortages, helping to protect
bottom-line revenue.
Accelerating adoption
We have created a first-of-its-kind Composable
Tech Studio that brings composable tech to life
for our clients at the pace of business change. The
studio, co-located in the Accenture Innovation
Hub in Bangalore and led by Raghavan Iyer, helps
clients across the globe build, configure and
deploy composable solutions faster by leveraging
virtual capabilities. Clients will have access to
technology integration accelerators, strategy and
industry transformation blueprints, as well as the
Accenture Smart Enterprise Data Hub, which
provides core data models, analytics accelerators
and emerging industry data. Our Composable
Tech Studio will transform the way clients use
data across their enterprise, improving agility and
speed to market.

Inspiring Minds
Leading
with AI
and data
Unlocking the power of data and AI is a
differentiator for our clients—and Accenture
AI is a gamechanger. At a time when our clients
are faced with an urgent need to transform at
speed while also keeping costs under control, AI
has the potential to help businesses unlock new
revenue, enable compressed transformations
and save time and money. The time is now for
technology, and the time is now for AI and data.
“The current turbulence in the macro economy
has accentuated the urgency for enterprises to
realize the lower costs and flexibility that cloud
computing promises,” says Data & AI Lead for
Cloud First, Lan Guan. “Many countries are
experiencing a labor shortage crisis, as well as
rising inflation. And digital technology, data, AI
and automation can truly become deflationary
forces in an inflationary economy.”
This is particularly true of the retail industry. The
acceleration of digitization has changed the
way people consume and interact with
products, leading to a world of ‘ultrapersonalization’. Consumers expect goods and
services to be tailored to their needs, and
instantly available. Given the labor shortages
and cost cutting measures many countries are
facing, it’s clear companies cannot meet those
demands for ultra-personalization without
leaning on technology. “AI has indulged the
consumer demand for getting what they want,
when they want it,” says Lan. “Our clients in the
fashion industry used to come out with just a
few collections every year. Now, they have fully
and rapidly adapted to the new normal by
leveraging AI and machine learning.”
| 13
Technology is enabling retailers to collect and
mine real time consumer preferences and
consumer feedback from across mobile sites
and social media platforms. Their designers
translate that data into consumer-led product
design ideas, then send those ideas to micro
studios within a matter of hours to begin
production and experimentation. “This all comes
together superfast and ensures the company is
highly responsive to what’s hot in the market,”
says Lan. With this approach, companies can
deliver a continuous rollout of fresh designs
throughout the year, aligned to consumer
preferences. The results speak volumes. “In one
case of ultra-personalization, a client’s yearly
revenue grew by 25% and it became a wellknown fashion brand within just two years.”
At Enterprise & Industry Technologies, we
approach total enterprise reinventions like the
one ongoing in retail, by creating interoperable,
repeatable processes that plug into a client’s
digital core. Accenture’s Value Untangled
research (page 6) points to the fact that
compressed transformations are reliant on
interoperability, and that companies with
interconnected architecture see a 5% increase in
revenue. For a company with $10 billion in
revenue today, that equates to $8 billion more
over five years. With data flowing between
connected applications, companies can easily
share information with the entire organization so
everyone is on the same page, creating a
common purpose and driving better decisions.
It’s therefore essential that when we talk to
clients about their transformation, data is at the
heart of all those conversations.
“Incorporating data and AI is what makes the
digital core a nexus of the compressed
transformation, giving our clients’
transformations a true competitive
advantage,” says Lan. “We need to embed
data and AI into everything we do and make it
truly prevalent and pervasive across every
process and every workflow that our client
has. It’s important for us to work with the
clients to bring forward data and AI
capabilities at scale and with speed.”
Once clients have the interoperability to
enable a plug and play approach to
transformation, there are endless emerging AI
solutions they can harness to reinvent their
enterprises, from AI generated content to
reinforcement learning and natural language
understanding. But to unlock more value for
Accenture, E&I needs to focus not just on
continuous innovation but industry relevance.
Success relies on applying the right data and
AI innovations, to the right company, at the
right time, in ways that solve their unique
business challenges.
Conventional companies working in traditional
industries pose the greatest opportunities for
reinvention. “These companies are deeply
rooted in ERP technologies from the likes of
SAP, Oracle and Salesforce, but they are not
yet on the cloud or fully AI enabled,” says Lan.
“There are a lot of opportunities there,
specifically when it comes to harnessing the
power of data and AI in traditional industries
such as automotive or manufacturing.”
"We need to embed data
and AI into everything
we do and make it truly
prevalent and pervasive"
Lan Guan, Lead—Data &AI,
Cloud First
| 14
Post-pandemic, companies in traditional
industries are already going through total
enterprise reinventions, leaning more and more
on technology such as robotics to stay ahead.
“They are stepping away from the friction of their
legacy IT infrastructure and embracing digital
technology and artificial intelligence to
transform the shop floor in manufacturing
environments.”
We know our clients need compressed
transformations, and that interoperability holds
the key. We know that our clients need to
innovate and remain agile to stay ahead, and
that data and AI provide the key to that. But how
can we get our clients onboard with change—
particularly those in the more traditional
industries where Lan sees the greatest
collaboration opportunities?
Data-sharing done right
Brands, advertisers, television networks and
other players in the media and entertainment
industries can utilize secure data in the cloud
to share audience data responsibly. For
example, a retail brand and television studio
came together in the cloud via their
ecosystem partners, to bring common
customer data together without sharing
private information. The companies identified
millions of common customers from two
completely different industries, opening up
new opportunities for better targeting,
monetization and customer experiences.
Making data and
AI ubiquitous
1. Data is a company’s backbone
Clients must see robust data architecture in the
cloud as the solid foundation for data-sharing.
Built across different parts of the cloud
continuum, it will enable clients to share data
with confidence.
2. Treat data as a product
Many clients still believe they should keep data
in one place and are reluctant to give employees
unfettered access to it. They need to start
treating their employees as customers of data
and provide them with the tools to automatically
access it, extract value and improve daily
decision making. Treating data as a product
means ensuring it is discoverable, reusable,
understandable and trustworthy—this is key to
increasing adoption and changing staff attitudes
to data.
3. Get comfortable with decentralized data
Centralizing data in one place is a shortcut to
creating a single version of the truth—but it does
not provide resilience, agility and the ability to
rapidly change in response to consumers and
markets. Decentralized, federated data
architecture, with good metadata governance
and network management is key to clients
gaining trust in data and data sharing.
4. Change company culture
Lan provides insights below on how to help
clients embark on data and AI-led
transformations to unlock massive growth and
turbocharge reinvention.
Clients are often concerned that they don't have
the right operating model, or enough data
engineers to harness the power of modern data
architecture. They might also be under the
impression that if they keep all their data in one
place, it’s safer. We need to help clients make
the cultural shift to recognize that technology
has advanced and can now support secure datasharing. Clients are looking to us to support that
shift through data literacy, machine learning or
artificial intelligence courses so that their staff
feel confident in their new responsibilities and
ready to share data in the cloud.
