Deloitte and Amazon Web Services (AWS) deepen cooperation to help Chinese companies achieve digital transformation and continuous innovation

January 12, 2021: Since Deloitte Consulting (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. ("Deloitte") announced a strategic partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS) in Greater China in August 2018, it has used AWS cloud computing, data analysis, artificial intelligence and machine learning, the Internet of Things and other advanced technologies and services as entry points, combined with Deloitte's leading strategic, business, technical consulting capabilities and industry practices to help Chinese companies achieve digital transformation and continuous innovation, and has achieved fruitful results in just over two years.

Created a strong service implementation capability

In the past two years of cooperation, Deloitte has worked closely with AWS to quickly build a strong service implementation capability. Deloitte and AWS jointly established a cloud acceleration practice platform, which takes enterprise data and business perspectives as the cornerstone, designs practice experience processes, formulates specific practice content, and through practical experience, allows leaders of various departments of the enterprise to have a deep understanding of the challenges they will face in the future and the corresponding strategies and plans, helping enterprises achieve personalized goals.

Deloitte also worked with AWS to create an automotive industry solution. Based on AWS's rich data service components and Amazon SageMaker machine learning services, combined with Deloitte's many years of experience in data business applications in the automotive industry, and in line with actual business scenarios, it built a digital solution for automobile companies' production and sales forecasts to meet customers' digital insights and decision-making needs.

The cybersecurity laboratory jointly established by Deloitte and AWS combines leading cybersecurity capabilities and rich practical experience. While allowing users to use AWS cloud services, it helps users build an efficient digital risk prevention and control system, protects network security in all aspects, and helps enterprises to move forward steadily.

The two parties also jointly created best practices for system compliance in the life science and pharmaceutical industry. Combining Deloitte's leading consulting experience and solutions in the life science and pharmaceutical industries, and AWS's best security system in the global life and medical system cloud, they jointly provided security and compliance best practices guidance for Chinese pharmaceutical industry customers on systematic cloud migration, and provided guidance and suggestions with great practical value to help industry customers accelerate digital transformation and apply the latest cloud technologies.

Completed several industry benchmark projects

The strong combination of AWS and Deloitte highlights the advantages of helping industry leaders solve complex problems and quickly won the trust of customers. For example, under the background of the implementation of China's Cybersecurity Law and the upgrading of global personal data protection, the medical and pharmaceutical fields have extremely strong regulatory requirements for user and patient data. AWS and Deloitte have provided the best practices for the medical industry's system security and compliance cloud migration, helping local pharmaceutical companies such as Tigermed to achieve data security cloud migration. AWS also cooperated with Deloitte to help a well-known international pharmaceutical technology company achieve the security and compliance design, implementation and operation of the ERP enterprise application system on the AWS cloud.

AWS also uses the innovation acceleration platform with Deloitte and cloud technology to actively help and promote corporate organizational change and digital transformation. For example, the two parties worked together to successfully implement a data-driven organizational change project based on AWS cloud data lake technology for a famous British automobile brand. Through this project, the various data islands within the enterprise were connected and revitalized, and data was truly applied to daily decision-making processes, making it a new type of organization with data insight capabilities. For another example, the two parties worked together to serve a well-known international electrical automation manufacturer. Based on AWS data lake technology, they designed and reconstructed the customer's supply chain application platform, provided analysis and prediction capabilities based on big data, and thus helped the customer's business department make business decisions better and faster.

In addition, the two parties have also worked together to complete the construction of an intelligent financial analysis platform based on AWS for a large international consumer goods manufacturer, the planning and implementation of the SAP EPR system on the AWS cloud for a large state-owned container transportation enterprise, the cloud transformation and innovation of traditional IT for an international petrochemical company, the design and implementation of the SAP ERP system on the AWS cloud for the Asia-Pacific factory of a new energy material supplier, and the fully cloud-based logistics warehousing system built on AWS by a large multinational logistics supplier, etc.

The strategic cooperation between the two parties continues to deepen

AWS's world-leading, extensive and in-depth cloud services, combined with Deloitte's end-to-end solution capabilities from strategy to application implementation, have brought extremely rich value to customers, and the strategic cooperation between the two parties is also deepening.

Zhu Hao, partner of Deloitte Management Consulting, said, "AWS is one of the most important partners of Deloitte worldwide. The reason for this is that AWS is technologically advanced and has great advantages in many aspects. Especially when Chinese companies go overseas and multinational companies enter China, AWS is one of the first cloud vendors considered. Therefore, Deloitte and AWS have cooperation in various industries and have common customers."

Wang Yong, General Manager of AWS China Ecosystem and Partner Department, said, "We are very pleased to work closely with Deloitte to create value for our clients. As a leading global professional services organization, Deloitte Consulting can provide a full range of services for the entire process of business operations, such as development strategy, daily operations, information technology and human resources management. Through the deepening strategic cooperation between Deloitte and AWS, and combining the advantages of both parties, we can create leading end-to-end solutions to effectively help enterprises achieve digital transformation and continuous innovation."

Deloitte Global has become an AWS core global consulting partner as early as 2015, relying on its vast ecosystem resources to provide comprehensive end-to-end solutions for clients across industries and fields. In August 2018, Deloitte China and AWS reached a strategic partnership in Greater China. In 2019, Deloitte China and AWS further deepened their strategic collaboration, jointly established a cloud acceleration practice platform, and jointly released the data insight platform D.Data Platform. Deloitte was named the 2019 APN China Best Global Consulting Partner by AWS. In 2020, Deloitte was further named the 2020 APN Big Data Partner Star by AWS. In the future, the strategic cooperation between the two parties will surely achieve greater development.
