Accenture agreed to acquire Mudano, a strategic data consultancy to UK financial services firms, further enhancing its analytics, data and artificial intelligence transformation capabilities. Financial terms were not disclosed. “Our research shows that UK businesses are struggling with how to scale technologies like artificial intelligence to deliver business value – and financial services is no exception. Mudano’s focus on helping clients build a ‘data culture’ aligns perfectly to Accenture’s Applied Intelligence strategy. By creating a strong data foundation – supported by the right skills, stakeholders and technologies – our clients can transform at speed and scale and fuel real change for their business,” George Marcotte, Accenture Managing Director.
