Accenture (NYSE:ACN) has opened a Liquid Studio in Milan, Italy
designed to help organizations accelerate innovation by quickly
transforming ideas into applications and services using the latest
technologies, intelligent automation, contemporary architectures,
and leading software development methods. The mission of the Liquid
Studio is to help clients ideate and rapidly design, create, test
and deliver innovative software applications that are easy to
update, replace or augment as business requirements evolve.
At the Liquid Studio clients work side-by-side with highly
skilled Accenture software engineers in a collaborative and
interactive environment to experiment with emerging technologies
such as serverless architectures and dynamic languages as well as
innovative development approaches including continuous integration
and pair programming. As a result, clients can develop applications
using cloud architecture and platforms, rapid application
development principles such as Agile and DevOps, lightweight
frameworks and plug and play microservice-based architectures.
The Liquid Studio also offers modernization and cloud-migration
services to help companies make their systems “future ready” for
the digital world. By applying intelligent automation to the
full software development lifecycle, organizations can cut cycle
time from months down to weeks.
“The Liquid Studio in Milan will allow our clients to engage in
immersive workshops, participate in design thinking sessions to
gain a concrete, hands-on view of how the most disruptive
technologies can benefit their business,” said Alessandro Marin,
senior managing director and Accenture Technology lead for Italy,
Central Europe and Greece. “Organizations begin their experience at
the Liquid Studio with an idea and leave with a real prototype
after just a few days. Accenture helps them harness the latest
technology developments in AI and intelligent automation, Internet
of Things (IoT) and augmented reality to transform their operations
and customer experiences, and grow their business.”
The Liquid Studio draws on the Accenture alliance ecosystem,
using open innovation to take cutting-edge technologies and digital
expertise from the startup community and into development for
clients. This is one of the ways that Accenture leads with
innovation to help clients “imagine and invent” the future.
Accenture Studios are a key element of the Accenture Innovation
Architecture which brings together the company’s capabilities –
from research, ventures and labs to studios, innovation centers and
delivery centers – to develop and deliver disruptive innovations
for clients, and to scale them faster.
The new location will collaborate with the Accenture Liquid
Studios in Silicon Valley, Paris and Nantes, France, Kronberg,
Germany, and with the Accenture Labs, where Accenture incubates and
prototypes new concepts through applied R&D projects. Accenture
plans to open more Liquid Studios around the world in 2017.
“In the new digital era companies are pushed to rethink their
technology strategy and reinvent themselves by changing the way
they design, build and use applications,” added Marin. “In the
Accenture Liquid Studio, every day new ideas are turned into
innovative solutions that enable companies to quickly apply new
ways to do business, access new markets and stay competitive.”
