Accenture and Palantir Technologies Inc. have announced an expansion of their global strategic partnership with the launch of the Accenture Palantir Business Group, a new initiative aimed at speeding up the deployment of advanced artificial intelligence and data-driven solutions for clients worldwide.
Under the expanded arrangement, Accenture has also been named a preferred global partner for enterprise transformation by Palantir. The new business group is designed to help organisations apply AI at scale, improve decision-making and unlock new sources of value across industries.
Julie Sweet, chair and CEO of Accenture, said the strengthened relationship would allow clients to move more quickly from strategy to results. “With this significant expansion of our ecosystem partnership with Palantir, our clients can accelerate advanced AI across the enterprise and deliver business outcomes faster,” she said. “In our focus areas, the combination of Accenture’s broad industry and functional experience with Palantir’s powerful platforms will help enable organizations to build AI and data solutions and develop scalable enterprise AI systems that drive reinvention, create value and foster growth.”
“Our expanded partnership with Accenture will help enterprises transform themselves at speed and scale using Palantir’s platform,” said Dr. Alex Karp, Palantir CEO and co-founder. “I am excited that our partnership will further accelerate the impact that both Accenture and Palantir are having in deploying AI-powered decision intelligence capabilities across industries.”
The Accenture Palantir Business Group will be backed by dedicated forward deployed engineers from Palantir, alongside more than 2,000 Accenture professionals trained in Palantir technologies. These teams will work directly with clients to help shift from fragmented data environments to integrated, AI-enabled decision-making systems.
While the partnership already has momentum in sectors such as government, energy, and oil and gas, the companies said the group will also focus on selected use cases in healthcare, telecommunications, manufacturing, consumer goods and financial services.
A key priority for the collaboration will be supporting complex data centre and AI infrastructure programmes, which are increasingly seen as critical to economic resilience. Through the partnership, clients will be able to use Palantir Foundry and the Artificial Intelligence Platform, as well as access secure computing capabilities in commercial and mission-critical environments.
