Marketing Performance Solution by Accenture and SAP leverages analytics solutions from the SAP HANA platform and Accenture marketing analytics solutions. CMOs and marketing teams can gain access to data in near-real-time from multiple internal and external sources and respond to shifting market demand and manage the ROI of marketing spend. Tracking results of marketing campaigns, running simulations and promotions and making adjustments is enabled through a customizable, web-based user interface accessible from PCs and mobile devices.

Accenture is a great fit for this one-of-a-kind model that delivers tremendous benefit to our joint CMO clients.”



The solution is the first offering of a new business model created by Accenture and SAP to provide clients with end-to-end solutions running on the SAP HANA platform. Hosting services are also planned to be included in all end-to-end solutions offered by Accenture and SAP, with a private or public cloud deployment option supported by global hosting and infrastructure provider. Accenture will be the single point of contact for clients handling contracts for all software and services.
