Accenture has acquired SAP cloud services outfit Edenhouse Solutions to expand its digital transformation offering in Europe.
Edenhouse was founded in 2008 and is a SAP platinum partner, specialising in the sale, implementation, support and hosting of SAP products and services to mid-sized businesses.
This year, Edenhouse won the SAP EMEA North Award for Partner Excellence 2021 for Top SME Cloud Performer. Edenhouse is headquartered in Birmingham, UK (pictured) with offices in Manchester and Farnborough, Hampshire. In October 2019, the firm entered the North America market and operates an office in Toronto, Canada.
“Now that Edenhouse is part of Accenture we’re in an even stronger position to help our clients harness change and accelerate their transformational journeys,” said John Erik Ellingsen, intelligent platform services lead for the UK and Ireland at Accenture.
“The global pandemic has increased demand for SAP’s cloud-based solutions and the additional skills we now have access to will enable us to rapidly meet the needs of our clients, helping them to progress more quickly on their path to value and become more sustainable businesses for the future.”
Edenhouse’s team of 220 professionals will join Accenture’s SAP Business Group in the UK to support the local business while benefiting from access to global resources and skills. Paul Solomon, CEO at Edenhouse, said: “Being part of Accenture will provide amazing opportunities for our staff and our customers. We're combining our people, technology and industry excellence to take digital transformation to the next level for our clients.”
The value of the acquisition has not been disclosed. In October 2020, Accenture acquired New Zealand-based SAP and cloud solutions technology firm Zag. Earlier this month, Accenture and VMware formed a global dedicated business group that will help enterprises adopt a cloud first strategy.
