Accenture acquires ATI Solutions Group to Automate Field Operations in Australia
Accenture has acquired ATI Solutions Group, a Perth-based consulting service provider to the mining, energy and rail industries.
ATI will enhance Accentureโs capabilities in West Australia, where specialized digital and industrial talent is in high demand. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
ATI offers clients a broad skill set and has experience across a wide range of capital projects. It helps clients automate and remotely run mines and rail networks, set up smart maintenance workflows, analyse data from the field, and optimize their operations.
The company excels at implementing operational technology (OT) โ which companies use to run assets like mining equipment โ and connecting OT to enterprise IT systems. Better IT and OT integration allows companies to identify issues and automate processes in their field operations faster and more efficiently.
Steven Walsh,ย Industry Xย lead for Accenture in Australia and NZ, said: โDigital technology and automation in operations are a pivotal part of how leading asset-intensive companies drive value in their front-line operations. ATIโs long-standing expertise strengthens our capability to support our clients in these critical areas.โ
Pete Burns, who leads Accentureโs business in Australia and New Zealand, added: โThe acquisition of ATI reflects our ongoing focus and commitment to building our presence in the West Australian market, and delivering total enterprise reinvention to our clients.โ
Matt Andrews, Director and Co-Founder, ATI, commented: โBy joining Accenture, we will bring new value and scale to our clients and provide new opportunities to our people to grow their careers.โ
ATIโs approx. 60 employees and contractors in Perth and other locations across Australia will join Accentureโs digital engineering and manufacturing service, Industry X. Accenture continues to build this service in Australia and New Zealand, having also acquired Perth-based OT service providerย Electro 80ย in 2021, and grown the team across the market in recent years.
Recently, Accentureย acquiredย US infrastructure advisory and management company Anser Advisory to help clients complete their large, long-term infrastructure projects more predictably and efficiently.
