Global industrial equipment manufacturer Caterpillar is working with Accenture and Snowflake to unlock the full value of its operational data. This will help drive better quality in manufacturing, timely insights for finance, and improved knowledge management for complex work. The collaboration combines Caterpillar’s IT AI Center of Excellence, Accenture’s industrial manufacturing, AI and data experience and global delivery capability with Snowflake’s AI capabilities, which will help accelerate Caterpillar’s enterprise-wide AI and data transformation.
