New research from Accenture (NYSE: ACN) finds that companies
with highly interoperable enterprise applications gain greater
agility to thrive amid uncertainty and achieve stronger financial
performance. Last year, companies with high interoperability –
which consist of one in three companies surveyed (34%) – grew
revenue six times faster than their peers with low
interoperability, and they are poised to unlock an additional five
percentage points in annual revenue growth.

For the report, Value Untangled: Accelerating radical growth
through interoperability, Accenture surveyed more than 4,000
C-suite executives across 19 industries in 23 countries. It found
that in the last two years alone, one in two companies (49%)
adopted new technology and transformed their business faster than
ever, with 40% transforming multiple parts of their business at the
same time. High interoperability helps these companies achieve the
agility they need to undergo compressed transformation. By using
applications that easily interact with each other to enable data
sharing, greater transparency and quality human connections,
organizations can pivot more quickly and take advantage of new
opportunities.
“While the concept of interoperability isn’t new, the technology
to make it possible in a timely and cost-effective way is finally
putting it within reach for most enterprises,” said Emma McGuigan,
senior managing director and Enterprise & Industry Technologies
lead at Accenture. “To compress transformation from years to
months, or even days, everything must be integrated and
interoperable. 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.”
Companies with high interoperability benefit not only from
stronger financial performance but they are also 12 percentage
points better at improving their supply chain and operations; 16
percentage points better at reinventing customer experience; 12
percentage points more successful at improving employee
productivity; 4 percentage points more successful at embracing
sustainable business practices; and 11 percentage points more
likely to sustain compressed transformations.
Leading companies with high interoperability achieve profitable
growth by allocating just 2-4% more of their IT and functional
budgets to applications, while handling as many, if not more,
diverse applications within their IT stack. Most enterprises now
have more than 500 applications, with eight out of ten (82%) saying
they will continue to expand their application footprint, making an
interoperable approach even more important. At the same time, 66%
say that the number of applications and their associated technical
complexities are a barrier to reaching interoperability. Those that
are successful make high interoperability central to their overall
business and technology strategy.
The report recommends three actions for companies aspiring to
improve interoperability:
Leverage the cloud – A fundamental interoperability
enabler, cloud is now ubiquitous. Companies that successfully
improve their interoperability start by moving existing
applications to the cloud and investing in new, cloud-based
enterprise applications. But more importantly, they use the cloud
to connect data and experiences across applications, creating one
version of truth for the enterprise. Our research found that nearly
72% of companies with high/medium interoperability adopted public
cloud and have already migrated 30% of their data and workloads.
Only 60% of low/no interoperability companies have adopted public
cloud, a 12% lag.
Utilize composable tech – Using proven, repeatable
solutions that can be configured and reconfigured at speed to
address changing business needs, known as composable technology,
builds flexibility into the heart of organizations. This allows
enterprises to cope with the effects of disruption through faster,
better and cheaper transformation. It requires shifting from a
technology architecture of static, standalone parts to one of
composable pieces. By using prebuilt, interoperable solutions to
swap and plug-and-play smaller application components, new
solutions can be created without wider disruption.
Focus on meaningful collaboration – Interoperable
applications are only one part of the equation. Interoperability
can enable meaningful collaboration by allowing functions and
people to work together seamlessly toward 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. This collaborative culture comes from the
top: more than one fourth (27%) of executives consider lack of
collaboration across business functions as a top challenge caused
by low/no interoperability. Leadership can amplify collaboration by
drawing up broad use cases for new interoperable applications and
challenging employees across functions to solve them as a team.
