Accenture collabs with AWS to launch cloud acceleration platform

Jointly funded and co-developed platform with AWS, Velocity is based on the learnings from thousands of Accenture and AWS projects. The product, which will be available on a subscription basis, allows clients to quickly adopt innovations by both tech majors. It will help clients adopt new AWS services without recreating time-consuming, labor-intensive work and recurring costs at the start of every project.

“By assimilating learnings from nearly 40 solutions for 16 industries with proven use-case relevance, Velocity also serves as a foundation for an expanded set of new, co-developed industry solutions,” Accenture said.

Velocity arrives at a time when enterprises are migrating to the cloud under tremendous time and cost pressures to capture and grow market share. Accenture and AWS plan to expand their portfolio of differentiated solutions across industries to accelerate innovation powered by Velocity.

“For years, Accenture and AWS have collaborated to combine our shared resources, technical capabilities, and industry knowledge to help customers unlock innovation, drive business value, and support growth through cloud adoption and transformation,” said Matt Garman, senior vice president of sales, marketing, and global services at AWS. “Velocity marks the next step in our collaboration as we continue to deliver innovation and industry-specific offerings that help customers move to the cloud faster than ever before.”
