Read MoreHide Full Article
Halliburton Company (HAL - Free Report) and Accenture Plc. (ACN - Free Report) announced collaboration to enhance the former’s digital transformation for its supply chain management and to promote digitalization across its production system. Per oilfield services major Halliburton, it plans to introduce a global hub-and-spoke supply chain and manufacturing service model, installed with new technologies, by early next year.
Under the terms of the partnership, consulting service provider Accenture will provide advanced analytics and enhanced business intelligence tools to its support teams to improve services and operational activities.

Accenture will deploy scalable technology to operate procurement processes to enable no-contact invoicing and improve data accuracy. It is also expected to improve operational efficiencies and raise productivity for Halliburton, allowing the company to focus on its activities and operate at lower expenses.
Notably, the partnership is expected to bolster Halliburton’s aim to accelerate digital deployment and incorporate its systems across the supply chain to ensure improved customer services and shareholders’ returns.
