Accenture Integrated Business Solutions for Consumer Goods & Services
Accelerating profitable global growth
32
Integrated business services are designed to help consumer goods companies achieve high performance by rising to their core challenge—to successfully develop a winning operating model that has both global reach and scale and local relevance and intimacy.
Located at the heart of the business and operationally accountable for efficiency and effectiveness, integrated business services report to a C-suite executive, have their own budget and exercise control over investment—all of which gives them the clout and capability to make a difference. They monitor and measure the performance of individual service providers onshore and offshore, globally and within regions and divisions, as well as empowering them to drive global standards, improve risk management, deliver better outcomes and develop talent within a service-oriented culture.
A high-performance service management framework
Accenture Integrated Business Solutions (AIBS) enable such an optimized global operating model by providing a consistent service management framework that effectively governs the global process, end-to-end, by combining people, processes and technology.
Acting as the “glue” that holds the operating model together, AIBS integrate the model’s support functions—back-office services like HR, IT, finance and procurement, as well as front office capabilities in reporting, analytics, supply chain, sales and marketing—into the business. In contrast to a single-function approach, this multifunction framework provides standardized, scaled business processes to the entire enterprise, empowering users to coordinate growth strategies across today’s complex markets and customers, and delivering better outcomes at lower cost.
By unifying all services globally into one service management framework (see figure 1) and leveraging leading edge technologies and analytics to manage them consistently, Accenture consumer goods clients have been able to improve cost and service levels by 2–5 percent year-on-year and widen the scope for continuous service improvements by up to 10 percent year-on-year.
