Deloitte acquires cloud ERP/HCM platform

Big Four firm Deloitte announced that it has acquired substantially all the assets from cloud ERP/HCM automation platform SimplrOps. 

Deloitte noted it has a history of collaboration with SimplrOps, having previously worked with the company— which has provided operations and implementations for Workday, SAP and Oracle— on systems integration. 

"As we fully integrate SimplrOps' technology into our offerings, we are poised to deliver improved performance that helps our clients maximize ROI in their technology investments," said Simona Spelman, U.S. human capital leader and principal at Deloitte Consulting LLP. "SimplrOps has helped us automate complex processes for our clients, allowing teams more time to focus on key business priorities. This acquisition will accelerate our ability to bring the technology to the market, unlocking tremendous potential for future growth."

The acquisition brings SimplrOps' functionality to Deloitte's services. The software platform allows for research and data insights, a security configuration matrix that aids with staying ahead of internal audits; version and side-by-side report comparison capabilities; configuration change management capabilities for version control, auditing and debugging; auto-generated workbooks based on system configurations; the ability to review current configurations to track requirements, open items and follow-ups; visualizations for completed and scheduled technical events, with statuses; associated impacted business process event tracking, including upcoming expirations; and  release cadences from the large cloud ERP platforms, so users can analyze their configuration against new features and automatically identify impacts. 

The SimplrOps leadership team will join Deloitte as part of the deal. 

"This day marks an exciting new chapter for SimplrOps," said SimplrOps CEO Pruthav Joshi. "The mission for me and my co-founder, Mansi Tuli, was to provide innovative and easy-to-use solutions that help our customers grow their businesses. We are excited to join the Deloitte team, whose deep industry knowledge and global reach will help us scale the technology and deliver even greater value to our clients."
