Accenture Picks up Stake in Operational AI Platform Vendor Splice Machine - Nearshore Americas

Accenture has purchased a minority stake in artificial intelligence-based data analytics platform vendor Splice Machine as part of a broader strategy aimed at bolstering its new data analytics services. Splice Machine is open source and is built upon the popular Apache Hadoop, HBase, and Spark distributed platforms. Moreover, its solutions can be deployed on-premise or as a fully managed cloud service. Accenture already has a relationship with the San Francisco-based company. Last year, Accenture integrated Splice Machine's intelligent application platform into its analytics-as-a-service solution.
