Accenture and NVIDIA announce an expanded partnership, including the formation by Accenture of a new NVIDIA Business Group, to help companies around the world rapidly scale their adoption of AI.
With the demand for generative AI drivingAccenture’s $3 billion in reservesin your recent fiscal year ended, the new group will help clients establish the foundations for autonomous AI features usingo Accenture AI Refinery™️ that uses the entire NVIDIA AI stack—includingNVIDIA AI Foundry, NVIDIA AI EnterpriseandNVIDIA Omniverse — to advance in areas such as process reinvention, AI-driven simulation and sovereign AI.
The Accenture AI Refinery will be available on all public and private cloud platforms and will seamlessly integrate with other business groups at Accenture to accelerate AI across the entire SaaS and cloud AI ecosystem.
"We are breaking new significant barriers with our partnership with NVIDIA and enabling our clients to be at the forefront of using generative AI as a catalyst for reinvention", saysJulie Sweet, president and CEO of Accenture. "The Accenture AI Refinery will create opportunities for companies to reimagine their processes and operations", discover new ways of working and scale AI solutions across the company to help drive continuous change and create value.”
"AI will drive companies to scale innovation more quickly", asserts Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. "The NVIDIA platform, the Accenture AI Refinery and our combined experience will help companies and nations accelerate this transformation to promote unprecedented productivity and growth.”
"We are excited about this new partnership between Accenture and NVIDIA", that not only drives innovation in generative AI, but also establishes a new standard for the adoption of autonomous AI systems. This collaboration will allow companies in Latin America to reimagine their operational processes and achieve sustainable growth in an increasingly competitive market, highlights Marcio Aguiar, director of the Enterprise division of NVIDIA for Latin America.
Accenture and NVIDIA Business Group Expands Autonomous AI for Enterprises
The new business group from Accenture and NVIDIA will accelerate the momentum with generative AI and help clients scale autonomous AI systems — that represent the next frontier of generative AI — to promote new levels of productivity and growth. This significant investment will be supported by more than 30.000 professionals who will receive global training to help clients reinvent processes and scale AI adoption in companies.
Autonomous AI systems represent a significant advancement for generative AI. Instead of a human typing a prompt or automating pre-existing business steps, autonomous AI systems can act based on the user's intent, create workflows and take appropriate actions based on your environment, reinventing processes or entire functions.
Accenture and NVIDIA are already helping clients adopt and scale autonomous AI systems. For example, Indosat Group announced afirst sovereign IA in Indonesia, that allows companies to implement AI safely, ensuring data governance and complying with regulations. Is collaborating with Accenture to buildindustry specific solutionson top of Indosat's data center, which includes NVIDIA AI software and accelerated computing, to support local businesses. With an initial focus on the financial services sector, the new solutions, driven by the AI Refinery platform, will help Indonesian banks leverage AI to increase profitability, operational efficiency and sustainable growth in a highly competitive market.
Accenture will also launch a new NVIDIA NIM Agent Blueprint for simulating fleets of virtual facility robots, that integrates NVIDIA Omniverse, Isaacand the softwareMetropolis, allowing industrial companies to build factories and facilities defined by software operated by autonomous robots.
Accenture will use these new capabilities in Eclipse Automation, a manufacturing automation company owned by Accenture, to deliver projects up to 50% faster and reduce cycle time by 30% on behalf of their clients.
AI Engineering Hub Network
As part of its Advanced AI Center, Accenture is introducing a network of hubs with deep skills in engineering and the technical capability to use autonomous AI systems to transform large-scale operations. These hubs will focus on selection, fine-tuning and large-scale inference of foundational models, all those who present significant challenges of accuracy, cost, latency and compliance when development is scaled. Based on the existing hubs in Mountain View, California, and Bangalore, Accenture is adding AI Refinery engineering hubs in Singapore, Tokyo, Málaga and London.
Accenture adopts aIAautonomous
In addition to the use of autonomous AI in Eclipse Automation, Accenture's marketing function is integrating the AI Refinery platform with autonomous agents to help create and execute smarter and faster campaigns. This will result in a reduction of 25 to 35% in manual steps, cost savings of 6% and it is expected to achieve an increase of 25 to 55% in market placement speed.
