EY is partnering German industrial software firm Software AG to drive industrial IoT, digital transformation, and business process management growth. The partnership will combine EY’s domain and consultancy expertise with Software AG platforms for process mapping, process mining, governance, risk and ESG management through mining IoT and operational data.

The EY-Software AG alliance aims to provide organisations with access to integrated products, industry insights and implementation services. The EY organisation is establishing a centre of excellence exclusively for Software AG products and capabilities that will have more than 200 members based out of Bengaluru, India.

Software AG’s platforms such as webMethods, ARIS and Cumulocity IoT are designed to simplify integration of applications, devices, data and clouds. The ARIS and Alfabet platforms are cloud-based software for BPM and enterprise architecture (EA). The ARIS platform offers process mapping, analysis, process mining, governance, risk and compliance.

Aman Dutta, EY Global Software AG Alliance Leader, said: “Organisations are rapidly transforming to accelerate growth, remain competitive and adapt to the ever-changing digital landscape. The EY-Software AG Alliance combines the deep industry knowledge of EY teams with Software AG’s leading-edge technology to bring a unified experience to clients, helping them truly integrate processes, technologies and people, and drive deeper data-driven insights to accelerate transformation.”

Netta Nyholm, EY EMEIA Enterprise Risk Leader, said: “As the EY relationship with Software AG continues to grow, it is extremely exciting to envision the new opportunities that this expanded collaboration will help provide. The alliance will strengthen how EY teams provide end-to-end digital transformation solutions, while aiming to drive material impact for clients.”

Joshua Husk, Chief Revenue Officer, Software AG, said: “We know that our customers are facing more challenges right now than they ever have before. Our goal is to help them overcome these challenges, become more resilient and ultimately grow. We can do this by simplifying the world of connected technology, people and data for them and finding new ways — large or small — to make day-to-day operations a little bit easier, more efficient or more profitable. There’s no better way to extend this mission we’re on than by joining forces with the EY organisation and we look forward to helping more customers together.”
