Case Study: Accenture achieves intelligent spend management and 5x catalog purchases with SAP Fieldglass

Accenture Delivering the Next Generation of Intelligent Procurement

Accenture, a global professional services firm, faced fragmented procurement with nonstandard processes, disconnected workflows, high off‑catalog buying and manual SOW processing that limited spend visibility, control, and efficiency across regions and categories.

Partnering with SAP under the Customer First approach, Accenture deployed a single digital procurement platform on SAP S/4HANA integrated with SAP Ariba Buying and Invoicing, SAP Fieldglass, and SAP Process Mining, plus guided‑buying, automation and change management. The transformation accelerated procure‑to‑pay, centralized SOW spend, increased catalog purchases fivefold to about 45%, reduced costs, improved supplier collaboration and positioned procurement as a strategic business partner.
