“Accenture is recognized for its extensive industry knowledge and technology capabilities. By bringing leading technology together in an automation platform and enabling it with artificial intelligence, we are poised to dramatically impact productivity, decision making and cost and operational improvements for our clients,” said Bhaskar Ghosh, group chief executive, Accenture Technology Services.

Hosted on Microsoft Azure, Accenture myWizard’s liquid, the plug-and-play architecture makes it “tomorrow-proof” with the ability to add new capabilities as artificial intelligence matures.

The intelligent Automation platform consists of a number of virtual agents that use machine learning to collaborate with human co-workers to manage projects, apply analytics to support business goals, advise on a range of judgment based tasks and monitor numerous aspects of Agile development.

Intelligent Data Scientist: This scientist helps identify data patterns and mines program information to provide IT and business users with the ability to make more insight-based decisions.

Virtual Testing Savant: This agent provides advice to human testers on a wide-range of judgement-based tasks, such as test planning, test coverage, prioritization and even staffing. It provides test artifacts for reuse and solutions based on past fixes, helping testers spend less time preparing and fixing and more time fine-tuning applications to improve business performance.

Virtual Scrum Master: This agent monitors numerous aspects of Agile development projects consisting of requirements, releases, metrics and resources – alerting the project manager of any potential issues and providing possible solutions.
