Accenture and NVIDIA announce an expanded partnership, including Accenture's formation of a new NVIDIA Business Group to help companies worldwide rapidly scale their AI adoption.
With the demand for generative AI drivingAccenture’s $3 billion in reservesin its recently concluded fiscal year, the new group will help customers lay the foundation for autonomous AI capabilities 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 Accenture business groups to accelerate AI across the SaaS and cloud AI ecosystem.
“We are breaking significant new barriers with our partnership with NVIDIA and enabling our customers to be at the forefront of using generative AI as a catalyst for reinvention,” saidJulie 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 enterprise to help drive continuous change and create value.
"AI will drive companies to scale innovation faster," says Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. NVIDIA's platform, Accenture's AI Refinery, and our combined expertise 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, which not only drives innovation in generative AI but also sets a new standard for the adoption of autonomous AI systems. This collaboration will enable companies in Latin America to reimagine their operational processes and achieve sustainable growth in an increasingly competitive market," emphasizes Marcio Aguiar, director of NVIDIA's Enterprise division for Latin America.
Accenture and NVIDIA Business Group Expands Autonomous AI for Enterprises
The new Accenture and NVIDIA business group will accelerate the push with generative AI and help clients scale autonomous AI systems — which represent the next frontier of generative AI — to foster new levels of productivity and growth. This significant investment will be supported by over 30,000 professionals who will receive global training to help clients reinvent processes and scale AI adoption in businesses.
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 their environment, reinventing entire processes or functions.
Accenture and NVIDIA are already helping clients adopt and scale autonomous AI systems. For example, the Indosat Group announced thefirst sovereign IA in Indonesia, enabling companies to implement AI safely, ensuring data governance and compliance with regulations. Is collaborating with Accenture to buildindustry specific solutionson top of the Indosat data center, which includes NVIDIA AI software and accelerated computing, to support local companies. 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 virtual facility robot fleets, which 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, an automation manufacturing company owned by Accenture, to deliver projects up to 50% faster and reduce cycle time by 30% on behalf of its clients.
AI Engineering Hub Network
As part of its Advanced AI Center, Accenture is introducing a network of hubs with deep engineering skills and the technical capability to use autonomous AI systems to transform operations at scale. These hubs will focus on the selection, fine-tuning, and large-scale inference of foundational models, all of which present significant challenges in 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 at 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 25 to 35% reduction in manual steps, a 6% cost savings, and is expected to achieve a 25 to 55% increase in time-to-market speed.
