Accenture and SAP Concur join forces for an exciting partnership

It is with great pleasure that we announce that SAP Concur and Accenture have joined forces for a CIP partnership in the Benelux. With this partnership, we will be able to add value for clients by providing them with the best solutions, strengthened by what each party has to offer.

“We have done it! After supporting 50+ SAP Concur customers with their Concur implementation projects on a global level Accenture became SAP Concur’s official implementation partner for the Benelux region – after already acquiring this partnership for Italy. Accenture The Netherlands is excited and proud. Thank you to SAP Concur and Accenture SAP team who has made this happen. Giel Hagens, MD Accenture SAP Business Group”

The reaction of Jan-Willem Basselier, EMEA Director Business Development Travel about the partnership “It was only a matter of time bringing our two companies together as partners. As a long-trusted SAP partner, our customers rely on Accenture’s proven capabilities and market leadership to add SAP Concur deployment services and Travel- & Expense consulting to their Cloud portfolios. We are excited to be able to add Accenture to the list of SAP Concur Certified Implementation Partners”

Before the partnership, Accenture was able to support their clients with SAP Concur deployments by managing projects and supporting them during the different project phases. However, they could not support with the client’s configuration since Accenture was not yet able to certify their resources; this is a prerequisite to conduct the full configuration.

With the new partnership, we will promote innovation by supporting and guiding clients through the full deployment independently—including configuration—based on client needs and executed by our certified resources. As Giel Hagens highlights:

This partnership allows us to train and certify resources enabling them to configure Concur Expenses based on client needs. That way we can help them launching solid travel and expense solutions that meet business requirements.
