Accenture to Expand AI Vision With Adobe

Accenture, which is committed to transforming businesses, collaborates with Adobe to create industry-specific solutions that leverage Gen AI in order to empower organizations

Many enterprises are realigning their priorities to emphasize artificial intelligence (AI) to leverage the evolving digital environment.

Like many others, Accenture has made a steadfast commitment to further developing its generative AI (Gen AI). A twenty-year partnership between the company and Adobe has been recently extended to include the co-development of industry-specific solutions utilizing Adobe’s Gen AI model, Firefly.

The organization is dedicated to redefining the procedures required to progress in AI and data capabilities. Even though business leaders are optimistic about the potential of Gen AI, only 31% of organizations have started to invest significantly in these initiatives, according to the company’s research.

Using these types of alliances, Accenture aims to provide clients with solutions that aid them in navigating a dynamic business environment and implementing responsible AI to transform their operations.

Leveraging Gen AI to expedite the process of supply chain transformation

The primary sectors that Accenture and Adobe intend to concentrate on initially are retail and consumer goods, automotive, financial services, and health. The solutions provided will use Accenture’s comprehensive data and AI engineering capabilities, systematic approach to responsible AI, and strategy for fostering unified brand experiences. 

By integrating these with Adobe’s Gen AI solutions and client systems, organizations will realize excellent AI value more quickly. This value seeks to be industry-specific, locally pertinent, and consistent globally.

In addition, engineers from Accenture will receive Adobe Firefly-specific training, which will empower them to assist clients in implementing Gen AI in their organizations.

According to research, even though businesses are eager to invest in AI advancements, their strategies still need to be comprehensive or prepared to maximize the technology’s potential.

Accenture is therefore committed to advising organizations on reskilling and upskilling their workforce and developing novel AI-based capabilities that unlock incredible value.

“Today, brands are seeking ways to achieve genuine impact with Gen AI that go beyond mere experimentation,” said David Droga, CEO of Accenture Song. “We can accelerate the transformation of the content supply chain and democratize the ability of teams to develop creative assets by combining Adobe technology with the tech-driven creativity of Accenture Song.”

Targeting a doubling of its AI workforce, Accenture

As an organization, Accenture strives to assist its customers in leveraging the expansion of AI. The fact that the company received appointments for new Generation AI exceeding $600 million in the previous year, bringing its total sales for Gen AI to $1.1 billion in the first half of 2023, further emphasizes its wide range of services, which include strategy, consulting, and technology.

Presently, the organization employs over 53,000 proficient data and AI specialists.

In a recent earnings call, Julie Sweet, CEO of Accenture, stated, “We are conducting business with rigor and discipline, and we remain on track with the business optimization actions we announced last year to reduce structural costs and increase resilience.”

Collaboration persists as a fundamental principle in the organization’s AI philosophy; by the conclusion of 2023, it will have established a partnership with SAP to aid enterprises in embracing Generation AI and expediting cloud-centric transformations.

“A solid data foundation is necessary for an enterprise-wide AI rotation,” Julie Sweet further elaborated. “One cannot simply proceed to the excellent data foundation.” It would help if you were located in the ether. “You must utilize contemporary platforms.”
