Accenture (NYSE:ACN) has launched a Liquid Studio in Singapore
to help clients around the region take advantage of new innovations
and accelerate software application development cycles. The Liquid
Studio features an open environment where clients work with highly
skilled Accenture engineers to turn concepts into applications and
solutions with speed and agility.
At the Liquid Studio, Accenture helps clients reduce development
time from months to days by applying rapid development approaches
including Agile methodologies and DevOps, and experimenting with
disruptive technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI),
blockchain and serverless architectures.
In addition to serving clients, the Liquid Studio will be used
to train and upskill Accenture professionals, providing them with
experience in new and emerging technologies. Candidates from
Accenture’s Emerging Technologist Development Programme (ETDP),
which include participants of SkillsFuture Earn and Learn
Programme, will also be trained at the Liquid Studio and deployed
to client projects. ETDP is a one-year specialised learning
initiative in line with SkillsFuture Earn and Learn Programme
structure.
“Singapore is an ideal location for launching our newest Liquid
Studio. Forward-looking clients around the region can leverage
Accenture’s innovation-led approach to quickly unlock new value to
become digital businesses and stay competitive in our challenging
marketplace,” said Teo Lay-Lim, senior managing director for ASEAN
and country managing director for Accenture Singapore. “The Liquid
Studio is a great example of how Accenture leads with innovation to
help clients ‘imagine and invent’ the future.”
“The Liquid Studio provides a ‘sandbox environment’ for our ETDP
trainees, where they can experience emerging technologies
first-hand and adopt the experimental culture of the Liquid
Studio,” said Sam Liew, managing director for Accenture Technology
in ASEAN. “The studio, and our training programs, reflect our
ongoing commitment to help develop the skills of Singapore’s next
generation IT workforce. Combined with our structured mentorships
and set in a client environment, this becomes an invaluable part of
their career and learning journey at Accenture.”
“Building, testing and delivering software with speed and
agility are essential to compete in today’s dynamic marketplace.
Liquid Studios equip clients with new ways to creatively and
quickly solve real-world problems using techniques such as rapid
prototyping and design thinking,” said Adam Burden, senior managing
director, Advanced Technology & Architecture at Accenture.
Liquid Studios are one component 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 Liquid Studio complements
Accenture’s Singapore-based Internet of Things (IoT) Centre of
Excellence, together enabling clients to accelerate the journey
from inspiration to implementation. For more information, visit:
