Read MoreHide Full Article
Accenture plc (ACN - Free Report) and Halliburton (HAL - Free Report) have recently announced a collaboration aimed at helping the latter’s digital supply chain transformation and digitalization within its manufacturing function.

Collaboration Details
As part of the team-up, the duo will work together to develop real-time supply chain visibility and actionable insights utilizing artificial intelligence and analytics. They will focus on deployment of scalable technology to automate procurement processes, enable touch-less invoicing and enhance data accuracy.

Recently, BP and Microsoft became strategic partners with a view to advance digital transformation in energy systems and work on net-zero carbon goals of both companies. Also, Schlumberger, International Business Machines (IBM - Free Report) and Red Hat have collaborated recently to speed up digital transformation.
Notably, Accenture and Halliburton shares have gained a respective 23.1% and 36.6% over the past six months.
Each was hand-picked halhaby a Zacks expert as the #1 favorite stock to gain +100% or more in 2020. Each comes from a different sector and has unique qualities and catalysts that could fuel exceptional growth.
Most of the stocks in this report are flying under Wall Street radar, which provides a great opportunity to get in on the ground floor.
