AlixPartners, the global consulting firm, and Palantir Technologies, a leading builder of operating systems for the modern enterprise, today announced a strategic partnership designed to unlock and accelerate their clients’ use of data to drive outsized results. The partnership will combine AlixPartners’s world-renowned strategic and operational consulting services with Palantir’s cutting-edge Foundry software platform to help a wide array of companies address some of the most complex and critical challenges facing the modern enterprise.
“In today’s highly disrupted business environment every industry is at an inflection point. The companies that will endure and ultimately thrive will be those that successfully leverage data to power their sales, operations, customer experiences, and organizations. Palantir’s platform is best in class and together we have created a strategic opportunity to help our clients accelerate talk and analysis into action,” says AlixPartners CEO Simon Freakley.
Palantir’s Foundry platform drives data-driven decision making and operations by fusing massive quantities of data from financial, operational, and technical systems and providing intuitive end-user interfaces that allow decisions to be made, captured, and optimized in real time. Foundry helps transform the way organizations operate by creating a central operating system for their data. Palantir’s software is currently deployed in over 40 industries and powers data-driven decisions across a diverse set of use cases in some of the most complex data environments in the world. Bringing together Palantir’s software with AlixPartners deep functional and industry expertise will help our joint clients unlock step-change gains in performance.
“Realizing the value of digital transformation requires a new operating system across the entirety of an institution. AlixPartners’ unique ability to drive strategic transformation for our shared client base has allowed our customers to fully realize the potential of Palantir’s operational AI platform, Foundry. Palantir sees AlixPartners as a critical partner to help our shared customers generate alpha today and reinvent themselves into the dominant companies of tomorrow,” says Palantir COO Shyam Sankar.
The partnership will focus on the most pressing and complex issues impacting their shared clients. By deploying Palantir Foundry in conjunction with AlixPartners’ experts, the partnership will help their shared clients as they: 1) innovate next-generation software-based business models on top of their core operating business; 2) navigate critical disruptions in their businesses, including supply chain breakages, consumer behaviour shifts, unanticipated business outages, and digital disruption; and 3) develop fundamentally new ways of interacting with customers and employees.
Together, AlixPartners and Palantir teams will deploy the Foundry platform to help deliver enduring transformation across functions in some of the world’s most important commercial organizations. The initial focus of the partnership will be on empowering major Aerospace, Telecom, Retail, and Media companies to solve their increasingly complex operational challenges in the face of customer behavioural shifts, supply chain disruptions, and evolving value delivery patterns. This will include a focus on the identification and acceleration of software-based businesses powered by the Foundry platform. With AlixPartners’ best-in-class operational industry expertise and Palantir's operational software with best-in-class architecture, they will jointly empower customers to establish data-driven operations and monetize their unique expertise through software.
