Accenture has opened a new analytics innovation center in Barcelona, Spain, which will showcase the company’s predictive analytics capabilities to clients, with an initial focus on supply chain management.
The new facility is designed to provide organisations with an easy access to an array of sophisticated analytics solutions and resources, locally and globally.
The Barcelona Analytics Innovation Center is expected to create 50 new, highly-skilled jobs over the next three years adding to the more than 10,000 Accenture employees throughout Spain.
The center is located within Accenture’s existing Supply Chain Center of Excellence in Sant Cugat del Valles, Barcelona, strengthening the company’s current supply chain offerings.
The Barcelona Center forms part of a wider Accenture global network of innovation centers dedicated to the demonstration, research and development, delivery and industrialization of analytics solutions and services and will initially focus on the innovative development of sophisticated techniques in supply chain analytics to address many of the key business challenges facing Accenture’s clients.
The solutions will help companies drive improved business outcomes by effectively optimising, predicting, forecasting and centralizing their supply chains, especially in emerging markets where demand is increasing significantly.
Accenture analytics for Europe, Africa and Latin America managing director Oday Abbosh said their centers offer research and innovative solutions to support business leaders in using the power of analytics to address business issues and drive improved business outcomes.
"Having a global network of innovation centers allows us to draw from areas with strong local talent, partners and resources and pool that knowledge to create best in class solutions for our clients," Abbosh said.
