New York based technology provider Accenture and Michigan based chemical maker The Dow Chemical Company, have signed a multi-year agreement under which Accenture will continue as a strategic services supplier and will provide a broad range of business application development, implementation and support services to Dow, extending to 2011.
As part of the new agreement, Accenture will help Dow identify value-added opportunities, develop and implement initiatives and support and improve Dow's organization. Dow will leverage Accenture's knowledge of industry practices, Dow's organization and work processes to deliver results.
The new agreement expands on an already successful long-term relationship between the two companies during which Accenture helped Dow improve IT development and support productivity by more than 45 percent and supported the implementation of key strategic initiatives over the past ten years.
As a key-enabling element of its business growth agenda, Dow is developing a shared services center in Shanghai, China leveraging leadership, capabilities, resources and processes developed with Accenture. Accenture has been in Greater China since 1993 and will deliver innovative services to support Dow's growth strategy in China.
"Accenture has been instrumental in improving Dow Information Systems processes and productivity and our new multi-year agreement will build on their previous success and broaden the scope of their relationship to include shared services work process, project and support service improvements." said David Kepler, Dow's Corporate Vice President of Shared Services and Chief Information Officer.
