Irish-based professional services company Accenture has acquired Keepler Data Tech, a Spanish cloud-native AI and data firm founded in 2018, strengthening its capacity to drive digital transformation for clients across industries seeking to reinvent core business processes with AI solutions built on robust data foundations.

According to Accenture, the acquisition brings more than 240 professionals into the firm, including technical architects, data scientists, analysts and software engineers based across Madrid, London and Lisbon, further expanding Accenture's digital transformation delivery capabilities across Spain and the wider EMEA region.

Keepler's offer spans the end-to-end AI and data value chain, from defining data strategy and building cloud-native foundations to deploying advanced analytics, generative AI and agentic AI that embed intelligence into core business processes. The firm's approach emphasises industrialised delivery, ethics, compliance and robust observability, enabling organisations to optimise automation and decision-making as part of broader digital transformation programmes.

The deal also deepens Accenture's DataOps and MLOps capabilities, equipping clients to modernise data architecture and activate AI at enterprise scale to deliver tangible, measurable transformation outcomes.

Keepler is the latest in a series of strategic acquisitions through which Accenture has been expanding its AI and digital transformation portfolio, following deals including Faculty, Palantir consultancy Decho, RANGR Data, Salesforce AI consultancy NeuraFlash and AI company Halfspace. Financial terms were not disclosed.

"By bringing Keepler into Accenture, we further strengthen our end-to-end AI and data capabilities as well as our agentic AI solutions," said Mercedes Oblanca, market unit lead for Spain and Portugal at Accenture.
