What is the Accenture Gemini Enterprise Business Group?

It will also create a 1,000-person workforce of forward-deployed engineers who will work closely with enterprise customers on AI deployments.

FDEs are expected to play a hands-on role in helping businesses implement and scale AI systems, particularly as organisations move beyond pilots and begin deploying AI across larger parts of their operations.
