Accenture launched Accenture myWizard, an intelligent automation platform which combines Accenture's industry and technology assets and business knowledge across 40 industries with intelligent automation, including artificial intelligence at its core.
"By bringing leading technology together in an automation platform and enabling it with artificial intelligence, we are poised to dramatically impact productivity, decision making and cost and operational improvements for our clients," said Bhaskar Ghosh, group chief executive, Accenture Technology Services.
The platform is able to mine Accenture's vast, cumulative knowledge base of vertical industry operating models, process flows and key performance indicators, giving Accenture myWizard a unique set of business domain experience that can identify and support tangible business results. Hosted on Microsoft Azure, Accenture myWizard's liquid, plug-and-play architecture makes it "tomorrow-proof" with the ability to add in new capabilities as artificial intelligence matures.
"We need to enable people to do more with technology, to achieve greater speed and scale. That's why we believe intelligent automation is the essential co-worker for the digital age. Accenture myWizard supports our people-first automation strategy by helping humans do more complex and creative problem-solving," Ghosh continued.
Over the past six months Accenture myWizard has been deployed to more than 100 clients globally. Accenture is training approximately 3,000 professionals in Accenture myWizard and plans to deploy the intelligent automation platform to more than 200 clients by the end of August 2016.
