Accenture yesterday announced that it has agreed to acquire Camelot Management Consultants, an international SAP®-focused management and technology consulting firm from Germany, with specific strengths in supply chain, data and analytics. The acquisition will further enhance Accenture’s SAP and AI-driven supply chain capabilities, helping clients build the intelligent and resilient supply chains that today’s business landscape demands.
The firm’s deep expertise in supply chain management will bolster Accenture’s ability to drive the reinvention of its clients’ entire supply chains. Camelot will also bring experience in analytics, data strategy and modernization, helping organizations build a strong foundation for accelerating the adoption of AI. Research from Accenture shows only 9% of companies use AI and generative AI widely across their supply chains, and the adoption of the technologies correlates with higher profitability.
Founded in 1996, Camelot is a leading SAP partner in Germany, Austria and Switzerland with a broad client portfolio of large and midsize companies in the chemicals, life sciences, consumer goods and industrial manufacturing industries. With headquarters in Mannheim, Germany, Camelot also has offices in the United States, United Arab Emirates, India, Poland, Spain and Switzerland. This acquisition will bring more than 700 highly qualified professionals to Accenture, including SAP, data and supply chain experts.
Camelot was recently named SAP Digital Supply Chain Focus Partner within the diamond initiative for the second consecutive year. The firm has been recognized by leading analysts and has won numerous awards including Germany’s Best Consultants 2024.
Camelot will follow Einr, a Norwegian SAP®-focused business consulting company Accenture acquired in May 2023.
