Accenture has acquired Keepler Data Tech, a Spanish cloud-native AI and data company. The company said the acquisition is meant to expand its ability to help clients redesign core business processes using AI built on stronger data foundations. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Keepler was founded in 2018 and works across the data and AI stack, from data strategy and cloud-native data foundations to advanced analytics, generative AI and agentic AI. Accenture said Keepler’s model also focuses on secure data platforms, DataOps, MLOps, compliance and observability, which are all becoming central to enterprise AI projects.
A key part of the deal is people, more than 240 Keepler professionals will join Accenture, according to the company. Keepler has teams in Madrid, London and Lisbon, and Accenture said the added talent will strengthen its AI scale-up work for clients in Spain and beyond.
The acquisition fits into Accenture’s broader push into AI services. The company said Keepler is the latest in a series of AI-related acquisitions, following Faculty, Decho, RANGR Data, NeuraFlash and Halfspace. That pattern shows how large consultancies are trying to build end-to-end capability rather than rely on partnerships alone.
Accenture’s Spain and Portugal leadership said the deal comes at a time when AI and data are becoming central to how companies stay competitive and resilient.
“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.”
Keepler’s chief executive said the company’s goal has been to turn data and AI into measurable outcomes, and that joining Accenture should help scale those solutions for clients across Spain and the broader EMEA region.
“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.”
