ACCENTURE INTRODUCES POWERFUL NEW VERSION OF
MYWIZARD INTELLIGENT AUTOMATION PLATFORM
Robust AI-powered automation features help
businesses drive greater efficiencies, innovation and growth
Accenture (NYSE: ACN) announced a robust new generation of its
intelligent automation platform Accenture myWizard®, to help
organizations unleash the power of automation to improve business
agility, customer experience and innovation. The new platform has
already helped some of Accenture’s 9,000 myWizard engagements at
1,500 companies to improve user experiences by more than 50%,
reduce IT operational costs by up to 60% and get new products and
services to market up to eight times more quickly1.
Accenture myWizard® helps organizations create, implement and
measure enterprise-wide automation strategies and reimagine their
information technology (IT) systems for efficiency and performance.
The expanded platform offers capabilities for modern software
quality engineering, technology operations and enterprise
automation journey management — all underpinned by a broad suite of
technology assets infused by artificial intelligence (AI). Many
organizations are using myWizard to increase productivity by
automating application maintenance activities — laying the
foundation for an enterprise-wide intelligent automation strategy
that will free up resources to focus on innovation and new
growth.
The platform is designed for collaboration by enabling
distributed agile practices that are easily scaled, including
automating DevOps in the cloud. New features also include an
automation roadmap with benchmarks to identify automation
opportunities and provide insights for faster value realization.
Accenture myWizard holds more than 150 patents and patent
applications.
“Automation is about change, acceleration, and pivoting business
to somewhere new. Companies are having to compress years of digital
and cultural transformation into months, and automation, like
cloud, is an absolutely essential tool for rapid change,” said Paul
Daugherty, group chief executive – Technology and chief technology
officer for Accenture. “That’s why we have over 100,000
professionals currently using myWizard, and we continually invest
in new features, to help our clients build the adaptable, digital
foundation they need to keep their businesses relevant and
resilient.”
The need for enhanced automation capabilities was highlighted by
Accenture’s Future Systems research which found that companies that
only make defensive technology investments are more likely to face
disruption, growth stagnation and financial constraints. In
contrast, 98% of leading companies that adopt new technologies such
as automation, DevOps and continuous delivery are outperforming
their peers in revenue growth and operating margin.
