Accenture is expanding its network of trained Splunk
practitioners in order to meet significant client demand for
operational intelligence solutions. Accenture and Splunk are also
collaborating and bringing to market new packaged solutions, the
first of which integrates Splunk analytics into Accenture’s Managed
Security Services. Accenture will provide Security Information
Event Management (SIEM) As-a-Service to clients, using Splunk
Enterprise and Splunk Enterprise Security (ES) to deliver advanced
threat detection, correlation, search and incident management
capabilities. Additional solutions may be tailored to various
business areas including digital, marketing and sales.
Hawaiian Telcom (NASDAQ: HCOM) is one of Accenture’s first
clients to take advantage of its intelligent application management
services, infused with Splunk technology, to help mine business
insights and expand monitoring of the company’s core IT
ecosystem.
“Deployment of this new platform leveraging an intelligent
delivery strategy strengthens our position as Hawaii’s technology
leader,” said Amy Aapala, Vice President of Information Technology
and Order Management Systems at Hawaiian Telcom. “The real-time
insights gleaned from our customized dashboards enables our team to
be more strategic and proactive on a day-to-day basis, which
ultimately improves our customer service and increases
productivity.”
“Our alliance with Splunk is another strong example of how
Accenture is impacting our clients’ businesses with ‘new IT.’ By
mining and analyzing machine data from back-end systems, call
centers, web traffic, inventory levels, shipments and more, IT can
play a greater role in influencing business performance, not just
IT performance,” said Bhaskar Ghosh, group chief executive,
Accenture Technology Services. “We’re integrating Splunk’s platform
for operational intelligence into our global application service
offerings and delivery teams, bringing robust new capabilities to
our clients at scale. We can also deliver this capability through
our new intelligent automation platform, Accenture myWizard, to
help turn data into critical insights that drive improved business
outcomes.”
“As one of the largest global systems integrators, Accenture
will help broaden access to Splunk’s platform for operational
intelligence to organizations that have not yet tapped the power of
machine data,” said Doug Merritt, President and CEO, Splunk. “By
analyzing machine data, organizations gain end-to-end visibility
into operations and make better informed business decisions. We are
thrilled to work with Accenture and leverage its innovative best in
class technological experience to further deliver operational
intelligence around the globe.”
Accenture Technology Services adopted Splunk internally, with a
focus on helping IT organizations become more business-centric.
Using Splunk® Enterprise, Splunk Cloud, Splunk Enterprise Security,
Splunk User Behavior Analytics and Splunk IT Service Intelligence,
Accenture is developing and rolling out operational intelligence
solutions that span the entire software development lifecycle.
Additionally, any team can build their own Splunk-based application
and host it with a central app store for other teams to
use. Accenture has developed numerous Splunk applications to
date, spanning software development, IT operations, security
monitoring and business operations.
