These services and solutions will bolster Accenture Cloud First’s robust set of engineering capabilities and help clients take advantage of a full continuum of cloud capabilities and tools, a statement said.
Founded in 2008 and based in Austin, Texas, Nextira’s nearly 70 employees will join the Accenture AWS Business Group, a team of more than 20,000 certified professionals dedicated to accelerating value on AWS to maximize enterprise-wide transformation at speed and scale, the statement said.
Nextira builds cloud-based solutions and services with cutting-edge engineering skills, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and data analytics that enable clients to design, build, launch and optimize high-performance computing environments. In addition, Nextira’s proprietary Studio in the Cloud solution on AWS provides clients with a virtual environment to easily develop and render 3D objects using the latest rendering platforms.
