Under the agreement, Accenture will provide system integration and consulting services. It will plan, analyze, build, test and deploy SAP software for the enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform to support the future-state business processes and business functions.
The scope of work includes building a data warehouse to support business intelligence and analytic functions.
CF Industries will use the Accenture High Performance Business Process Model for Chemicals, Accenture Delivery Methods, and Accenture Advanced Enterprise Solutions to accelerate the implementation and standardization across the organization’s business operations.
Accenture will also provide change management and project management services for the ERP implementation.
