Accenture (NYSE: ACN) signed a multi-year agreement to support Sadara Chemical Co. in operating enterprise-wide IT infrastructure. Sadara is a joint venture developed by the Saudi Arabian Oil Co. and The Dow Chemical Co.

Accenture, a management consulting, technology services and outsourcing firm, will provide business and IT support services across the organization leading to the opening of Sadara’s integrated chemicals complex in Jubail Industrial City II, located in the Eastern Province of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The complex will be one of the world’s largest integrated chemical facilities, and the largest ever built in a single phase. Construction of the complex began in the fourth quarter of 2011 with the first plant start-up and first product expected by the second half of 2015, and with the site in full production by 2016.

Accenture will help operate technology practices across the enterprise including corporate and manufacturing applications and infrastructure services. Accenture will also manage services for helpdesk, field support, workstation services and computer platform and network support, including data center operations. In addition, Accenture will work to support the company’s Saudization strategy, a government initiative designed to encourage employment of Saudi nationals.

“Accenture looks forward to working with Sadara to build an IT organization that will support the company’s growth objectives, provide it with the best solutions to address key business issues and ensure that technology is a key driver of growth for what will be the world’s largest petrochemical plant ever built in one phase,” said Omar Boulos, Accenture’s regional managing director for the Middle East.
