The mission of the Accenture Liquid Studio is to help
organizations ideate and rapidly define, create, test, deliver and
manage innovative applications that are easy to update, replace,
remove or augment as their business needs evolve. Clients can also
experiment with and prototype emerging technologies such as the
Internet of Things, wearables, as well as artificial intelligence
that have the potential to transform their operations and customer
experiences.
Working at the Liquid Studio, European companies will
collaborate in a hands-on environment with Accenture’s highly
skilled software engineers to quickly prototype and develop a wide
range of custom applications using cloud infrastructure and
platforms, rapid application development principles such as
intelligent automation, lightweight frameworks and
plug-and-play, innovative Agile and DevOps engineering
approaches and microservice-based architectures.
“Accenture Liquid Studios combine scale, automation, industry
knowledge, outcomes-based risk acceptance and a unique
understanding of how far clients may be willing to go to innovate,”
said Patrick Heffernan, practice manager and principal analyst at
Technology Business Research, Inc., an independent market research
and advisory firm. “With its studios, Accenture is setting a new
standard for how high-touch, experience-driven client engagement
centers will evolve in the future.”
“Business cycle times are shrinking and technology is
increasingly a driver of business strategy, not just a supporting
function,” said Bhaskar Ghosh, group chief executive, Accenture
Technology Services. “To compete with agility and speed, companies
can no longer afford massive, multi-year system
implementations. They need fundamentally new approaches to
application development, which helps them become built for change.
The new Liquid Studio can help deliver innovative solutions to
businesses with speed and agility.”
“The Liquid Studio in Paris enables us to deliver a complete
cycle of innovation services,” said Christian Nibourel, country
managing director for Accenture in France and Benelux. “With the
pace of technological change increasing faster than ever,
organizations need to create a competitive advantage by becoming
more agile, adaptive and aligned through digital technologies. The
Liquid Studio is a one-of-a-kind ‘think-and-act tank’ equipped to
support our clients in the region and contribute to the dynamic of
innovation in the country.”
The new location works closely with the Accenture Liquid Studio
in Silicon Valley, CA, Accenture Labs, including the one in Sophia
Antipolis, and the company’s Open Innovation program to take
emerging technologies out of the lab and start up community and
into development for large enterprises.
The Liquid Studio also offers modernization and migration
services to help companies make legacy systems future ready for the
digital world. And, it applies intelligent automation to
testing and other phases of delivery, to help cut the cycle time
from weeks or months down to days.
“Clients can come and work from this studio collaboratively
with Accenture and use the power of its alliances to create
innovative solutions for their businesses,” said Yves
Bernaert, senior managing director, Accenture Technology for
Europe. “The studio can help develop relevant use cases and
products by having engineering teams sit side-by-side in a
highly collaborative environment.”
