Accenture and Dell Technologies Expand Collaboration to Help Enterprises Scale Private AI and Modernize Infrastructure

Accenture and Dell Technologies announced a major expansion of their 20+ year collaboration with the formation of the Accenture Dell Business Group, designed to help organisations scale AI within their own environment and modernise their infrastructure. Together, the companies can give enterprises greater control over their data, more predictable economics, and the performance needed to run enterprise-grade agentic AI workloads.

“By expanding our collaboration with Dell, we’re strengthening the power of our organisations to help our clients move from AI ambition to scaled execution to measurable business outcomes,” said Julie Sweet, chair and CEO, Accenture. “Enterprises will be able to deploy AI solutions faster, align them with their business priorities, maintain greater control through private, hybrid and sovereign environments, and optimise both cost and performance.”

“Dell Technologies and Accenture bring a deep history of working side-by-side to help our customers unlock their biggest opportunities,” said Michael Dell, chairman and CEO, Dell Technologies. “The formation of a dedicated business group deepens that collaboration to help enterprises move from AI interest to adoption. By bringing together Accenture’s strategic and industry expertise with Dell’s AI-ready infrastructure and services, we’re helping customers streamline business processes and build the full-stack capabilities needed to deploy AI at scale.”

The Accenture Dell Business Group builds on a strong track record of helping clients in industries such as financial services, life sciences, manufacturing, industrials and high-tech use AI to transform their businesses. It is uniquely positioned to help organisations deploy AI on private infrastructure, leveraging relationships with sovereign and neo cloud providers.

For RHAELM, a UK-based AI infrastructure and solutions provider, Accenture and Dell helped to accelerate the delivery of its sovereign-grade AI solutions, focused on secure, compliant, high-performing operations.

“By leveraging Dell’s AI-ready infrastructure and services and Accenture’s deep industry and transformation expertise, we’ve been able to deploy cutting-edge sovereign AI at scale to our clients in highly regulated industries,” said Bradd Lewis, CEO and CRO, RHAELM. “The Accenture Dell Business Group brings a deeper level of collaboration that directly benefits our clients.”

To support the Accenture Dell Business Group, Accenture plans to train more than 3,000 practitioners to build deep capability and expertise across the Dell portfolio. This group will deliver comprehensive solutions to help organisations complement their cloud strategies with on-premises AI infrastructure — particularly for those in highly regulated industries. Together, these capabilities provide a unified approach to accelerating AI adoption while aligning technology investments to business outcomes:

• Private AI and neocloud solutions: Designed to help organisations enhance control over data, compliance, and performance through scalable and secure AI Factories built with full-stack solutions consisting of Dell’s end-to-end portfolio and ecosystem partners, supported by full lifecycle services from Dell and Accenture.
• Integrated private AI stack offerings: Enterprise AI infrastructure brings together Dell’s complete, fully integrated solutions to support agentic AI, inferencing and high-performance computing workloads through Accenture’s full-stack offerings.
• Accelerated agentic solutions deployment: Agentic use cases and accelerators help drive faster time-to-value from scaled AI use cases.
• Open source and open-weight models: Designed to support model selection and task‑aware routing across models and environments, helping to maintain cost predictability, data control and scalable AI operations on a pre-defined private infrastructure stack
