Accenture Acquires Keepler to Boost Its AI and Data Business in Spain

Accenture has acquired Keepler Data Tech, a Spanish cloud-native AI and data company. The acquisition will expand Accenture’s capabilities to help clients across industries reinvent their core business processes with AI solutions grounded in strong data foundations.

Founded in 2018, Keepler offers AI and data capabilities that cover the end-to-end value chain, from defining a data strategy and building cloud-native data foundations to deploying advanced analytics, gen AI and agentic AI that embed intelligence into core business processes. With a value-realization approach supported by secure, modern data platforms and data readiness, Keepler focuses on industrialized delivery, ethics, compliance and robust observability to optimize automation and decision-making. This comprehensive model helps organizations modernize their data architecture, implement DataOps and MLOps at scale and activate AI across the enterprise to deliver tangible business impact.

More than 240 Keepler professionals will join Accenture. The company, with presence in Madrid, London and Lisbon, has a team that includes technical architects, data scientists, analysts and software engineers among others. They will further strengthen Accenture’s ability to scale AI for clients in Spain and beyond.

“Technology is evolving at extraordinary speed, and AI and data are now central to how companies reinvent their businesses, stay competitive and improve their resilience in the current context,” said Mercedes Oblanca, Market Unit Lead for Spain and Portugal at Accenture. “By bringing Keepler into Accenture, we further strengthen our end-to-end AI and data capabilities as well as our agentic AI solutions. Combined with our deep industry, functional and technology expertise, this enables us to support clients as they transform their organizations by harnessing the full potential of AI adoption across their value chains in a secure and responsible way.”

“From day one, our mission at Keepler has been to help organizations turn data and AI into real, scalable outcomes,” said Juan María Aramburu, CEO of Keepler. “By joining Accenture, we accelerate that mission. Together, we will further scale our solutions and drive innovation to clients across Spain and EMEA, empowering them to activate AI with confidence and transform how they operate.”

This acquisition is part of Accenture’s ongoing investments in AI to accelerate clients’ reinvention. Keepler is the latest in a series of strategic acquisitions aimed at expanding Accenture’s AI capabilities, including Faculty; the Palantir consultancy Decho; Palantir certified partner RANGR Data; Salesforce AI consultancy NeuraFlash; and AI company Halfspace.

Terms of the transaction—including the acquisition of the stake held by private equity investment firm DTCP—were not disclosed.
