ATI Solutions

Aug 31, 2023

Accenture recently announced that it has acquired ATI Solutions Group (ATI), a Perth-based consulting service provider to the mining, energy, and rail industries. ATI will enhance Accenture’s capabilities in West Australia, where specialized digital and industrial talent is in high demand. The terms of the deal were not disclosed. ATI offers clients a broad skill set and has experience across a wide range of capital projects. And it helps clients automate and remotely run mines and rail networks, set up smart maintenance workflows, analyze data from the field, and optimize their operations. The company excels at implementing operational technology (OT) — which companies use to run assets such as mining equipment — and connecting OT to enterprise IT systems. Better IT and OT integration allow companies to identify issues and automate processes in their field operations faster and more efficiently. ATI’s approximate 60 employees and contractors in Perth and other locations across Australia will join Accenture’s digital engineering and manufacturing service, Industry X. And Accenture continues to build this service in Australia and New Zealand, having also acquired Perth-based OT service provider Electro 80 in 2021, and grown the team across the market over the last few years. Recently, Accenture acquired US infrastructure advisory and management company Anser Advisory to help clients complete their large, long-term infrastructure projects more predictably and efficiently.
