I’m very close to Accenture and am suspicious of that $1.1B number. That’s 500 $2M projects, I just don’t see it. They must be very generous with the definitions. Like a $100M maintenance/operations deal that has a small genai POC as part of the scope and then putting the whole $100M deal in the genai bucket.
