Under the multi-year agreement, Accenture will help Sadara operate technology practices across the enterprise including corporate and manufacturing applications and infrastructure services.
The services will lead to the opening of Sadara’s integrated petrochemical complex in Jubail.
The company will also help Sadara manage services for helpdesk, field support, workstation services and computer platform and network support, including data center operations.
Additionally, Accenture and Sadara will work jointly to support the Sadara’s Saudization strategy, a government initiative aimed to encourage employment of Saudi nationals.
Sadara chief executive officer Ziad Al-Labban said, "Following a rigorous evaluation and assessment process, Accenture was selected to support our drive in building Sadara as a best-in-class organization that is agile and poised to address both the current and future needs with leading edge technology and second-to-none support and services."
Currently, Sadara is building a fully integrated chemicals complex in Jubail Industrial City II, located in the Eastern Province of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA).
The first plant start-up and first product is scheduled by the second half of 201 while the complex will be fully operational by 2016.
