In an exciting announcement made this month, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang and Accenture CEO Julie Sweet revealed details of their expanded partnership aimed at transforming enterprise AI adoption. The collaboration marks a significant step forward in making AI technology accessible and practical for businesses worldwide.
Huang described the partnership as the dawn of a new era in AI development.
“What we’re looking at now is the beginning of the next wave of AI. The biggest wave of AI,” he said. The NVIDIA chief explained that this new phase focuses on enterprise productivity through AI agents and co-pilots. “We’re going to need a transformer, a transducer, somebody who is the connecting fabric between our enabling technology that we build in AI foundry and Omniverse and connecting it to customers and their business impact and that’s Accenture,” Huang elaborated.
Sweet shared concrete examples of how this partnership is already yielding results within Accenture’s own operations.
“We have used it and are deploying it in marketing using the engine of NVIDIA and seamlessly integrating across the technology stack to go to market 20 to 50% faster, to reduce our costs,” she noted. The impact extends beyond marketing, as Sweet revealed: “We’re using the combination of AI foundry and Omniverse starting in the design cycle to reduce the customized robotic automations by 50%.”
The partnership includes training 30,000 Accenture employees on NVIDIA’s AI tools and platforms. Both companies are collaborating on a new platform called AI Refinery, designed to help businesses develop and deploy AI agents and co-pilots.
This alliance represents a strategic shift in how enterprises can approach AI implementation. While NVIDIA provides the technological foundation through its AI and Omniverse platforms, Accenture brings its vast consulting expertise and industry knowledge to help businesses transform their operations.
As companies worldwide grapple with AI adoption, this partnership aims to bridge the gap between cutting-edge technology and practical business applications, potentially reshaping how enterprises approach digital transformation in the AI era.
