哈里伯頓聯(lián)手微軟和埃森哲推進數(shù)字化能力

哈里伯頓、微軟和埃森哲達成了一項為期五年的戰(zhàn)略協(xié)議，以提升哈里伯頓在微軟Azure上的數(shù)字化能力。

根據(jù)協(xié)議，哈里伯頓將通過以下方式完成向云數(shù)字平臺的轉(zhuǎn)型，并加強其客戶服務:

增強遠程操作擴展的實時平臺、利用機器學習和人工智能提高哈里伯頓數(shù)據(jù)庫的分析能力、加快新技術和應用的部署，包括SOC2合規(guī)，以提高哈里伯頓的整體系統(tǒng)可靠性和安全性。

“與微軟和埃森哲的戰(zhàn)略協(xié)議是我們采用新技術和應用程序的重要一步，以增強我們的數(shù)字能力，提高業(yè)務靈活性，并減少資本支出?！惫锊D董事長、總裁兼首席執(zhí)行官杰夫·米勒說?！拔覀兒芨吲d我們的客戶和員工將通過這項協(xié)議獲得好處，并有機會進一步利用我們的開放式體系結(jié)構(gòu)方法來交付軟件?！?/span>

“轉(zhuǎn)向云計算讓企業(yè)能夠創(chuàng)造影響市場的客戶產(chǎn)品，并推動切實的業(yè)務成果，”微軟全球商業(yè)業(yè)務執(zhí)行副總裁Judson Althoff說?！巴ㄟ^與哈里伯頓和埃森哲的聯(lián)盟，我們將運用云計算來解鎖數(shù)字能力，為哈里伯頓及其客戶帶來利益?！?/span>

該協(xié)議還允許將哈里伯頓所有的物理數(shù)據(jù)中心遷移到Azure，后者在全球范圍內(nèi)提供企業(yè)級的云服務，并提供可持續(xù)性的好處。埃森哲將與微軟緊密合作，并與他們的合資企業(yè)Avanade合作，幫助將哈里伯頓的數(shù)字化能力和關鍵商業(yè)應用轉(zhuǎn)移到Azure。埃森哲將利用其全面的云計算框架，將工業(yè)化能力與專用工具、方法和自動化結(jié)合在一起，加速哈里伯頓的數(shù)據(jù)中心轉(zhuǎn)移，并提供額外的轉(zhuǎn)型機會。

埃森哲(Accenture)首席執(zhí)行官朱莉?斯威特(Julie Sweet)表示:“只有在云計算領域有堅實的基礎，才能建立數(shù)字核心并迅速擴大業(yè)務范圍?！惫锊D公司認識到，這一至關重要的基金將提供創(chuàng)新、效率和人才優(yōu)勢，從而以不同的方式快速地完成任務。我們很自豪能成為這一轉(zhuǎn)型變革的一部分，它建立在我們與哈里伯頓和微軟的長期合作歷史上。

兩家公司預計將在2022年完成分階段的交接。

Halliburton, Microsoft and Accenture form agreement to advance digital capabilities

Halliburton, Microsoft and Accenture entered into a five-year strategic agreement to advance Halliburton’s digital capabilities in Microsoft Azure.

Under the agreement, Halliburton will complete its move to cloud-based digital platforms and strengthen its customer offerings by:

Enhancing real-time platforms for expanded remote operations.Improving analytics capability with the Halliburton Data Lake utilizing machine learning and artificial intelligence.Accelerating the deployment of new technology and applications, including SOC2 compliance, for Halliburton’s overall system reliability and security.

“The strategic agreement with Microsoft and Accenture is an important step in our adoption of new technology and applications to enhance our digital capabilities, drive additional business agility and reduce capital expenditures,” said Jeff Miller, Halliburton chairman, president & CEO. “We are excited about the benefits our customers and employees will realize through this agreement, and the opportunity to further leverage our open architecture approach to software delivery.”

“Moving to the cloud allows companies to create market-shaping customer offerings and drive tangible business outcomes,” said Judson Althoff, executive vice president, Microsoft’s Worldwide Commercial Business. “Through this alliance with Halliburton and Accenture, we will apply the power of the cloud to unlock digital capabilities that deliver benefits for Halliburton and its customers.”

The agreement also enables the migration of all Halliburton physical data centers to Azure, which delivers enterprise-grade cloud services at global scale and offers sustainability benefits. Accenture will work closely with Microsoft, in conjunction with their Avanade joint venture, to help transition Halliburton's digital capabilities and business-critical applications to Azure. Accenture will leverage its comprehensive cloud migration framework, which brings industrialized capabilities together with exclusive tools, methods, and automation to accelerate Halliburton’s data center migration and provide for additional transformation opportunities.

“Building a digital core and scaling quickly across a business is only possible with a strong foundation in the cloud,” said Julie Sweet, chief executive officer, Accenture. “Halliburton recognizes that this essential foundation will provide the innovation, efficiency and talent advantages to do things differently and fast.
