Repsol will begin marketing ARiA, its proprietary, cloud-based data and analytics platform, in collaboration with Accenture. Originally conceived for internal use by Repsol, the platform will now assist other companies in accelerating the use of big data and deploying artificial intelligence at scale. ARiA is designed to facilitate the democratization of an organization's data maximizing business value and facilitating more agile decision-making.

The ARiA platform includes data ingestion solutions, various cloud storage alternatives included in Microsoft’s Azure, data governance tools, development lab, and machine learning models. The platform also offers a wide array of self-service tools. All these features make it possible for any employee, regardless of one's knowledge of analytics, to make decisions based on data.

Accenture will design, develop, and launch a marketing plan for ARiA, using its experience and industry expertise both in Spain and around the world. This will include drawing up technical and commercial proposals with input from Repsol based on its expert knowledge as the platform's developer. Repsol will also provide suggestions and guidance on how to create a data-driven culture within organizations by scaling up the use of big data and artificial intelligence, should this be among potential customers’ needs.

Working together, Repsol and Accenture will also identify the possible solutions developed using ARiA that can be marketed for use in other companies. These could include specific business solutions based on artificial intelligence and machine learning for industrial, commercial, or management applications.

This initiative builds on the ongoing project of both companies focused on the development, operation, and maintenance of the data platform over the next five years. This project has made Accenture one of Repsol's primary collaborators in its digital transformation journey.
