Accenture and NVIDIA expanded on their existing partnership, with Accenture forming a new NVIDIA business group to help enterprises scale AI adoption.
This group will help clients lay the foundation for agentic AI functionality, using Accenture’s AI Refinery. Refinery employs the full NVIDIA AI stack – including NVIDIA AI Foundry, AI Enterprise and Omniverse – to advance process reinvention, AI-powered simulation and sovereign AI, among other areas.
Accenture’s AI Refinery will be available on all public and private cloud platforms, seamlessly integrating with other Accenture business groups to accelerate AI across the SaaS and Cloud AI ecosystem. Accenture uses AI Refinery with autonomous agents in its marketing function.
“We are breaking significant new ground with our partnership with NVIDIA and enabling our clients to be at the forefront of using generative AI as a catalyst for reinvention,” said Julie Sweet, the chair and CEO of Accenture. “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 supercharge enterprises to scale innovation at greater speed,” said NVIDIA founder and CEO, Jensen Huang. “NVIDIA’s platform, Accenture’s AI Refinery and our combined expertise will help businesses and nations accelerate this transformation to drive unprecedented productivity and growth.”
The new Accenture NVIDIA business group will accelerate momentum with GenAI, helping clients scale agentic AI systems to drive new productivity and growth. This investment will be supported by over 30,000 professionals receiving training to help clients reinvent processes and scale enterprise AI adoption.
Accenture will also debut a new NVIDIA NIM Agent Blueprint for virtual facility robot fleet simulation, which integrates NVIDIA Omniverse, Isaac and Metropolis software, to enable industrial companies to build autonomous, robot-operated software-defined factories and facilities.
Accenture will use these new capabilities at Eclipse Automation, an Accenture-owned manufacturing automation company, to streamline design and reduce client cycle time.
As part of its Center for Advanced AI, Accenture is introducing a network of hubs with deep engineering skills and the technical capacity for using agentic AI systems to transform large-scale operations. These hubs will focus on the selection, fine-tuning and large-scale inferencing of foundation models, all of which pose accuracy, cost, latency and compliance challenges when development is scaled. Accenture is adding AI Refinery engineering hubs in Singapore, Tokyo, Malaga and London.
In addition to its use of agentic AI at Eclipse Automation, Accenture’s marketing function is integrating the AI Refinery platform with autonomous agents to help create and run smarter campaigns faster. This will result in a reduction in manual steps and cost savings.
