We selected Accenture for its understanding of our industry, technology credentials and impressive track record in delivering enterprise transformation at scale."

We are focused on helping Zydus Wellness bring innovation to market, maximize its business performance, and operate even more efficiently."

As per the deal, Accenture is going to deploy the latest version of the enterprise resource planning (ERP) software of the German technology giant SAP S/4 HANA.

Accenture revealed that combining end to end infrastructure across all the lines of business and geographies will give Zydus the ability to develop, test, pilot, and roll out innovations at a faster pace.

It also said that the new platform will also help Zydus standardize and improve visibility and operational efficiency across its business.
