On March 17, Accenture and Databricks announced that they are helping global organizations unlock the full potential of their enterprise data and scale adoption of AI applications and agents. As part of a strategic expansion of their partnership, the companies are launching the Accenture Databricks Business Group, with a focus on helping clients adopt Databricks as their core data and AI platform. Together, the companies will help clients leverage Databricks’ newest innovations including Lakebase for serverless Postgres databases built for AI, Genie to let any employee chat with their data, and Agent Bricks for high-quality agents built on enterprise data.
Organizations struggle to scale AI due to fragmented data and legacy infrastructure that silo information and stall innovation. To deliver real impact, companies need a unified data foundation and industry expertise to centralize governance, move AI from experimentation to production and make data and AI more accessible to teams across the business. Accenture and Databricks help to bridge the gap between data potential and business performance by combining the Databricks platform with global industry expertise to help enterprises build and scale AI applications and agents.
“With Databricks, we’re helping clients modernize their data foundation so they can build, scale and govern AI applications and agents with confidence,” said Julie Sweet, chair and CEO, Accenture. “Together, Accenture’s reinvention expertise and the Databricks platform help accelerate the shift from experimentation to production, safely scaling AI that delivers real business outcomes.”
“AI has reached a point where business impact is the only metric that matters,” said Ali Ghodsi, CEO and co-founder of Databricks. “More enterprises are using Lakebase to create operational databases that can scale with agents and Genie to get AI in the hands of every employee. Our work with Accenture allows us to help more organizations deploy AI securely and responsibly so they can achieve the outcomes they care about most.”
