A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

So, they think they can find contracts worth 3b selling bullshit to customers.

yeah that's what I got out of this. If tacking "AI" on their contracts nets them another 10%, then that easy money for accenture

They really should focus on selling pyramid schemes, because all their pitches reek that energy and desperation.

Lol, recently had a touchpoint with some ACN guys on a large project, maybe they should try getting SAP right, before becoming AI experts

[–] Mjb@feddit.uk 6 points 1 year ago

You misunderstand. Consultants don't want to be experts in anything. Becoming an expert takes a lot of time and experience, which naturally limits the number of things you can be an expert in.

No, consultants just want to say they're experts in things. No time/experience needed, just a plucky consultant and a keyboard.

With that in mind, Accenture are experts at SAP and AI now.

AI is starting to feel like another financial bubble to me.
