Accenture Plc announced that it’s expanding its strategic partnerships with the three biggest cloud computing providers to help enterprise customers take advantage of the latest developments in Generative AI Technologies. This follows close on the heels of Accenture’s plan to invest $3 billion into its Data & AI practice.
Accenture’s focus on AI comes at a time of interest in generative AI, the technology that powers advanced chatbots, such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT. And DALL-E 2 and Stability AI’s Stable Diffusion, creates photorealistic images based on natural language prompts.
Accenture will work with Amazon Web Services Inc. to develop a number of new, industry-specific and cross-industry AI offerings, including prebuilt models and training platforms. The idea is that it can help companies move away from experimentation to actual adoption, Accenture said.
It will help clients deploy Amazon Bedrock and use Amazon’s advanced foundational models, such as Amazon Titan, as well as other platforms, such as Amazon SageMaker, a machine learning service. It will also look to hire more AWS AI talent for its consultancy, and equip its existing teams with AWS skills, certifications and training.
Accenture’s collaboration with Microsoft Corp. is focused on the co-development of “new industry and functional solutions,” as well as new use cases for AI in financial services, contact center, security, and logistics, to name just a few. It will work closely with the Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service Engineering team and the Microsoft-focused consultancy Avanade on training and equipping people with advanced skills in generative AI. At the same time, it’s working with a number of clients to pilot new technologies, such as Microsoft 365 Copilot, Security Copilot, Semantic Kernel, and Azure OpenAI Service.
Accenture said it will collaborate with the Google Cloud to co-develop new services and offerings to take advantage of its industry experience and Google Cloud’s suite of generative AI tools. The plan is to find ways to use generative AI to improve business processes across 19 industries and six business functions.
