Accenture and AWS partner to accelerate customer innovation

The Accenture AWS Business Group (AABG) combines the technical expertise and industry knowledge of Accenture and AWS through a unified approach. 

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy coined an internal slogan "there's no compression algorithm for experience". Experience is at the core of the AABG; built on 14+ years of collaboration and more than 100,000 completed migrations to AWS cloud.

Sara Alligood, Worldwide Leader of AABG at AWS, explains: “Our AABG team collaborates with enterprise customers to accelerate their digital transformation and innovation to deliver desired business value.

“We provide customers with an end-to-end consultative approach, powered by joint investments in world-class accelerators, industry-proven expertise and digital skills.”

Achieving innovation with Velocity

Continuous innovation requires strategic end-to-end planning, from boardroom engagement through to continued measurement and improvement.

The AABG brings use-case expertise to design and build end-to-end solution roadmaps unique to each client’s requirements.

To support this, the AABG recently launched ‘Velocity’, a continuous innovation engine that allows customers to choose and deploy repeatable solutions aligned to their roadmap, using pre-configured blueprints to remove time-consuming labour and cost-intensive work.

“If you think of Velocity as a foundational layer,” adds Alligood, “we’re then able to focus on industry-specific expertise to design and build the end-to-end solution that our customers need.”

Helping customers achieve industry-specific goals

The AABG continues to make significant investments into industry solutions built on real use cases, unique industry challenges and white space opportunities, developing more than 40 differentiated solutions across industries including insurance, energy and utilities, life sciences, banking and manufacturing.

Each solution is developed to address niche or unique opportunities for customers to innovate within their industry and, because they are built on Velocity, can be deployed at speed. 

Alligood concludes: “Our portfolio of industry solutions covers all stages of a customer’s innovation journey, built by industry experts with those industry use cases at the heart of what we’re doing.”
