In order to ensure costs are fully flexible and in-line with business demand, the new model also includes consumption-based pricing.

Rio Tinto’s existing enterprise resource planning (ERP) and Information Management (IM) platforms will be modernised, consolidating and hosting the applications in the public cloud.

Accenture will also manage and upgrade the application landscape, and related infrastructure under the terms of the agreement, in addition to transforming the global service desk and site support functions.

Implementing a public cloud first policy, the new IS&T model is based on a platform for innovation, including a co-located innovation centre in Singapore and a proposal to partnering.
