Accenture's acquisition of RANGR Data brings 40 Palantir specialists on board, strengthening its AI transformation capabilities and deepening its partnership with Palantir Technologies as the consulting giant continues its aggressive AI buying spree.

Accenture plc (ACN) is adding another piece to its AI consulting empire. The company announced Friday it's acquiring RANGR Data, a U.S.-based boutique firm that specializes in helping companies wrangle messy data into something useful using Palantir Technologies Inc. (PLTR) platforms.

The market liked the move. Accenture shares jumped 4.73% to $252.17 as investors saw the strategic fit.

RANGR Data is a certified Palantir partner known for tackling complex data challenges, particularly for companies drowning in operational complexity. Think supply chains, enterprise systems, and analytics platforms that don't talk to each other. RANGR's specialty is turning that fragmented mess into real-time insights that executives can actually use.

The acquisition brings about 40 specialists into Accenture's fold. These aren't just PowerPoint consultants—they're people with hands-on experience building and deploying solutions on Palantir Foundry and AIP. The team includes strategists and developers who embed directly with business leaders to design, architect, and scale data platforms that deliver measurable results.

For Accenture, this deepens an already strong relationship with Palantir. The consulting giant has been pushing hard into what it calls "enterprise reinvention"—helping clients make faster, AI-driven decisions. RANGR's consultants typically work side-by-side with customers to map use cases, build platforms, and deliver outcomes you can point to on a spreadsheet.

Bryan Rich, who leads Accenture's global Palantir capability, framed it as a North American growth play. "RANGR joins Accenture's global Palantir business as a key driver for commercial expansion in North America where our customers are laser focused on driving scaled transformation through AI," he said. He specifically called out RANGR's strength in executive engagement and transformation roadmapping.

RANGR works across consumer packaged goods, manufacturing, telecom, healthcare, and energy—industries where operational complexity isn't just a buzzword, it's the daily reality.

John Boehm, RANGR's CEO and founder, put it this way: "At RANGR, we provide the clarity and tools needed to help operations-heavy businesses not just survive complexity—but thrive in it." He added that partnering with Accenture should help more organizations "unlock the power of their data."

Building an AI Consulting Juggernaut

This acquisition is part of a larger pattern. Accenture has been on an AI shopping spree, recently snapping up Decho (another Palantir specialist), NeuraFlash (a Salesforce-focused AI consultancy), and Halfspace (an AI firm). The message is clear: Accenture is betting big that companies will pay top dollar for help navigating the AI transformation wave.

Financial terms of the RANGR deal weren't disclosed, which is typical for acquisitions of this size.
