Accenture (NYSE:ACN) has been named the Technology Advisory
House of the Year by Energy Risk Magazine. The award was announced
yesterday in Houston at the Energy Risk annual awards, which
celebrate excellence across global commodity markets.
Accenture received the award for its growing presence in the
North American midstream natural gas sector, for supporting the
regional expansion and start-up plans of several global commodity
trading firms, and for developing tailored solutions for a growing
number of asset-centric trading clients. Accenture was also
recognized by Energy Risk for the previously published Readers
Survey Software Rankings for 2016 where Accenture was voted #1 in
both the Best Implementation Specialist and the Best Project
Delivery within Budget.
“This has been a monumental year for our trading and risk
practice. With the integration of Structure, we are now uniquely
positioned to help our clients transform their business across
Accenture’s five key disciplines of strategy, consulting, digital,
technology and operations,” said Baris Ertan, managing director,
Accenture’s Trading and Risk Lead within Resources. “We have become
the leading global provider of end-to-end commodity management
services, supported by our vendor ecosystem, which has resulted in
a track record of success for our clients.”
In 2015, Accenture’s North American Resources group completed
the acquisition of Structure, adding some 200 professionals to its
roster and boosting the company’s trading and risk delivery team.
As a result, the company’s ability to deliver large, complex
trading and risk projects and to support its clients’ business
operations and technology has continued to expand.
Client appreciation for Accenture’s track record includes work
for Calpine and TrailStone.
“The business acumen, technology acumen and thought leadership
that Accenture brought to the table was instrumental to the overall
success of Calpine’s ETRM project,” said Joel McKnight, vice
president Commercial Information Systems.
“Accenture carried us through a three-year journey to design,
configure and implement the North American components of an ETRM
system supporting physical and financially settled products across
the power, natural gas, liquids, agriculture and metals markets in
Europe and North America,” said Troy Martin, senior partner and
chief operating officer, TrailStone. “During the first half of the
project, Accenture effectively served as our North American
in-house technology team and during the second half, they
successfully transitioned the final stages of configuration,
implementation and on-going operations to our internal technology
team.”
