- EY to provide system implementation for digital transformation
Ernst & Young LLP, a member of the global EY organization (EY) and PROS, Inc.– a provider of AI-powered solutions that help improve selling in the digital economy – today announced an alliance to help clients transform their strategic and technological capabilities across their front office operations to ultimately increase top-line growth.
The alliance of EY and PROS will offer clients digital commerce solutions across a broad range of U.S. regions, sectors and industries, to help enable them to transform and improve their selling process using AI-powered pricing, quoting and configuration technologies, and delivering ecommerce-scale revenue optimization capabilities. There are plans to expand the alliance beyond the US through local country agreements.
PROS will enable businesses to digitally transform their sales process through its AI-powered cloud platform, while EY will bring its business transformation footprint across the globe and broad lifecycle implementation support capabilities for that platform, along with deep institutional and sector-specific knowledge.
The alliance between EY and PROS will include client engagement using PROS solutions. This will enable B2B and B2B2C businesses to deliver a consistent, omnichannel customer experience as they move to full digital commerce models. EY is also building PROS Pricing and configure-price-quote implementation support methodology, in collaboration with PROS, which will help to further differentiate the services offered to clients under the alliance.
