Palantir released to XX Palantir last month: “We are working with Accenture Federal Services to accelerate the U.S. government’s AI to address the operational challenges of the highest priority of federal agencies.”
“What makes this partnership so unique is Accenture’s expertise in working with the federal government, and our ability to bring business capabilities to government solutions, coupled with Palantir’s deep experience in government software,” said Julie Sweet, Accenture Chairman and CEO, in a press release. “Together, we will leverage the growing power of AI to help the federal government successfully achieve its critical mission to modernize and reshape its operations (and greater data flow, transparency and resilience) to better serve warriors, citizens and all stakeholders.”
Accenture did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
While Palantir itself has become a major government contractor, working with contract giants can enable software companies to scale faster, leveraging the long-term relationships of these larger contractors with nearly every federal agency. “It’s actually a very savvy business decision for Palantir, and then you call it a tradition, more legacy-oriented person, like defense or government contractors,” said Jessica Tillipman, associate dean of government procurement law at George Washington University. “If they’re updated in some areas and others have that footprint, that would benefit Palantir.”
Last week, Palantir and Deloitte announced a partnership that includes what they call the “enterprise operating system” (EOS) to unify data across organizations. In government agencies such as the Internal Revenue Service and the Social Security Agency (SSA), Palantir has reportedly been working to combine proxy data sets to allow previously different data sets to communicate with each other more easily.
“Deloitte shares Palantir’s commitment to decisive action and is committed to delivering meaningful, lasting results for commercial and government clients,” said Jason Girzadas, Deloitte’s U.S. CEO, Deloitte, in a press release announcing the partnership. “Expanding our preferred relationship at this critical moment provides our clients with Palantir’s latest advances in AI, coupled with Deloitte’s engineering scale and in-depth division experience.”
Deloitte did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Palantir reached some of these deals before Trump took office. Last December, Booz Allen and Palantir worked together to build defense IT infrastructure.
“To have a company monopolize and become a gatekeeper of government software, to be an ‘application factory’, in a sense, the government in every agency, they are part of the defense complex and intelligence complex, with a very focus on fairness, competition and put Palantir in a very unique position that may never exist,” accompanied by Juansebastiánebastiánebastiánebastiáne, a critical palanto and palanto and the palanto.
