Accenture (NYSE:ACN) today opened the doors of a new Liquid
Studio in Sydney as part of the company’s accelerated investment in
innovation in Australia. At the Liquid Studio, clients will work
side-by-side with highly skilled Accenture professionals to turn
ideas into innovative applications and solutions with speed and
agility.
The Liquid Studio in Sydney is the first of several new
initiatives that Accenture is investing in across Australia. The
company also plans to expand its investments in training, hiring
and partnerships.
“The next wave of Australian growth and competitiveness will
come from continuous innovation, and I am proud Accenture Australia
is working closely with our clients to fuel innovation and solve
critical business problems at speed and scale,” said Bob Easton,
chairman and senior managing director for Accenture Australia and
New Zealand.
The Liquid Studio accelerates innovation by applying rapid
development approaches including Agile methodologies and DevOps,
and experimenting with disruptive technologies such as artificial
intelligence (AI), blockchain and serverless architectures. This
allows clients to reduce development time from months to days and
shorten the time to business impact. The capabilities of the Liquid
Studio will be supplemented by Accenture’s alliance ecosystem,
start-ups, and others.
“Through immersive workshops, organisations will receive
tangible, hands-on experience of how their business can benefit
from the most disruptive technologies, such as artificial
intelligence and augmented reality,” said Justin Baird, managing
director for Accenture Australia Innovation and Research &
Development. “By leveraging agile teams, a start-up culture and
multi-speed, microservice and cloud-based architectures,
organisation will see more value quickly and easily.”
The Liquid Studio in Sydney will collaborate with Accenture
Liquid Studios in Silicon Valley, Paris, Milan, London, Kronberg,
Singapore and other locations, and with the Accenture Labs, where
Accenture incubates and prototypes new concepts through applied
R&D projects.
Liquid Studios are an integral part of the Accenture Innovation
Architecture, which brings together capabilities — from research,
ventures and labs to studios, innovation centres and delivery
centres —to develop and deliver disruptive innovations for clients,
and to scale them faster.
