EY in Brazil announced the acquisition of Partners Digital, one of the main integrators of SAP solutions platforms in Latin America. The operation is part of the firm's global strategy to strengthen its consulting role in the customer experience segment and contribute to optimizing the offer of digital transformation solutions for companies. The purchase also strengthens the current partnership with SAP, optimizing the delivery of services based on the SAP C4Hana platform.

With Digital Partners, EY seeks to gain scale in business opportunities with large clients in Latin America and leverage its portfolio of solutions and services in the region, considering that investments in digital transformation and customer experience are a priority in the global strategy of the firm. It has already invested extensively in technology, innovation, consulting and strategy. Globally, the plan is to invest around US $ 1.5 billion in fiscal 2021, which will be used for audit quality and innovation projects, technology solutions, people, and a broader ecosystem of strategic alliances.

"SAP is a strategic alliance for us at EY and incorporating the capabilities of Digital Partners into our portfolio of services reaffirms our commitment to continue growing in Chile and the rest of Latin America", says Ángel Izurieta, partner of Technology Consulting at EY Chile.

Originally founded in 2001 to serve the growing ERP market, Partners Digital is located in Sao Paulo, with operations in other Latin American countries and Portugal. Its portfolio includes, in addition to the implementation of solutions from SAP and other providers, support services, analytics, data marketing management, among others.
