Accenture Collaborated with Microsoft to Transform Its Azure Supply Chain

Accenture (NYSE: ACN) helped Microsoft transform its Azure
supply chain with a control tower solution that better manages
network-wide inventory, generates additional cloud revenue and
enhances employee efficiency.
With more than 4 million servers across 200 data centers—and as
many as 100 new data centers expected every year—Microsoft needed a
solution to enable it to better track and manage its supply chain
as cloud demand continues to grow dramatically. Accenture was
selected to help develop a data-led transformation strategy and
build a digital supply chain solution that would enable Microsoft
to track and manage inventory and racks across the end-to-end
ecosystem of partners, suppliers and hubs to its datacenters across
more than 30 countries.
Accenture and Microsoft’s Cloud Supply Chain developed two
control towers: one to track and record the location of cloud
inventory—such as server rack and other data center components—both
in transit and at rest; and another to help the operations teams
coordinate the deployment of that inventory to the datacenters with
the most pressing capacity needs. The control tower solution, built
on Microsoft Azure, creates a digital twin of Microsoft’s
fast-growing supply chain for cloud inventory shipments, deliveries
and logistics operations.
“Microsoft can now manage the Azure supply chain for its cloud
infrastructure purposefully and address disruptions far faster,”
said Teran Andes, managing director, Supply Chain & Operations
at Accenture. “The operational and inventory control towers we
developed have already driven substantial effectiveness gains and
are expected to provide increased resilience and significant
financial benefits. The project is an example of how cloud and
digital twin solutions contribute to a total enterprise
reinvention.”
Jodi Larson, general manager of Microsoft Azure Supply Chain
Strategy and Transformation, added: “The control tower solution is
a core pillar of our Azure Supply Chain, that's enabling us to
achieve better and faster data-driven decisions. With the power of
Microsoft Azure, and Accenture’s innovative delivery, this solution
can serve as a blueprint for data-led transformation across
industries.”
