Accenture strengthens its SAP Cloud Capabilities in UK with Edenhouse acquisition

Accenture has now acquired a premium SAP Partner, Edenhouse, for an undisclosed amount.

Edenhouse is founded by Paul Solomon in the year 2008. The company deals with the support, implementation, and hosting of SAP products and services to mid-sized businesses for both on-premise or cloud-based solutions.

John Erik Ellingsen, Intelligent Platform Services Lead for the UK and Ireland at Accenture, said, "Now that Edenhouse is part of Accenture, we’re in an even stronger position in the UK to help our clients harness change and accelerate their transformational journeys. 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."

Paul Solomon, CEO at Edenhouse said, "Together, Accenture and Edenhouse are a great fit. Being part of Accenture will provide amazing opportunities for our staff and our clients. We have similar shared values, including putting business outcomes at the heart of everything we do to deliver 360° value for clients and leveraging our deep relationships with SAP. We’re excited to be able to bring the combination of our people, technology and industry excellence to take digital transformation to the next level for our clients."

This is Accenture’s fourth acquisition in the month of February 2021. Previously, it bought Oakland, Future State, and Imaginea.

Accenture revealed that this acquisition would help in scaling its capabilities in the UK to address the increased demand for SAP cloud-based solutions.

As a part of the deal, 220 Edenhouse employees would be going to join Accenture’s UK SAP business group.
