Accenture has acquired Nextira, a provider of cloud-based analytics, enterprise-grade immersive experiences, and predictive data solutions to support customer relationships in the media and entertainment industry.
The acquisition will likely enable Accenture to boost its delivery of AI and ML solutions to distribute and optimize enterprise-grade RT3D and analytics applications.
Accenture bought the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Premier Partner also to optimize its Cloud First service, which assists enterprise end-users in leveraging cloud capabilities and tools.
The firms did not reveal the cost or terms of the deal, although the acquisition will see roughly 70 employees integrate into Accenture's AWS Business Group alongside 20,000 certified professionals.
