If there’s a revolving door between government regulators and private industry, then there’s probably a revolving door between private companies as well.
I would expect something to at least be a violation of a company contract; but given this is America. I am not surprised
Why would they pay the bottom of the barrel consulting firm? This must be a joke, or maybe ACN got them a _good_ deal (ie, cheap labor).
Last time I worked with ACN engineers, it was usually people fresh out of college and off shore. The solution to “delays” in time tables was to throw more people at the problem.
Most would be very Jr analysts, the more experienced people at Accenture are usually the Managers and Senior Managers levels (internal levels 7 downwards)
All terribly paid and an excellent poaching opportunity for companies looking for good technical people (they are usually very good)
A deal this large. No way it was given to foot soldiers to close. This was a back channeled deal between S&P and ACN. Bonuses for the C-levels. Pumping the stocks for both companies
Training in 'generative AI' for them is probably going to tell them how to prompt engineer in ChatGPT Web and create custom ones. I doubt it will be anything more than that

What does "training all 35K staff in generative AI" even mean?
I have no clue, but I'm pretty sure it won't be cheap.

Also, y’all remember the Hertz and ACN failure?

They produce shit code in bulk. The worst thing is they produce shit code faster, but copilot may actually improve the quality of the code.
