In a landmark announcement at HPE Discover 2024, Deloitte has joined forces with NVIDIA and Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) to launch a state-of-the-art AI computing solution. This collaboration marries Deloitte’s industry expertise with the innovative HPE Private Cloud AI, co-developed by HPE and NVIDIA, aimed at accelerating the deployment of industry-specific generative AI applications and use cases. The partnership is a key part of Deloitte’s IndustryAdvantage initiative, which focuses on targeting sector-specific challenges to drive transformative outcomes for clients.

Jim Rowan, AI Market Activation Leader and Principal at Deloitte Consulting LLP, emphasized the potential of generative AI to provide significant business insights and value, necessitating an agile approach that tailors AI solutions to specific industry needs through data modernization. He stated, “As leaders seek high-performing enterprise AI and data solutions that tackle their most critical business challenges, our collaboration with HPE and NVIDIA marks a natural next step in our commitment to bringing our clients actionable insights backed by the power of HPE technology and NVIDIA full-stack accelerated computing.”

One of the first fruits of this collaboration is a digital twin application developed for the manufacturing sector. Built on the NVIDIA Omniverse platform and delivered through HPE GreenLake, this application leverages Deloitte’s rapid use case development methodology to help manufacturers at various stages of digital maturity manage and utilize data more effectively. This solution enables organizations to pioneer, engineer, and deploy advanced manufacturing simulations, offering benefits like improved decision-making and integration of greenfield facility designs.

Tim Gaus, Principal and Smart Manufacturing Business Leader at Deloitte Consulting LLP, highlighted the strategic importance of improving data capabilities for manufacturing simulations, “Our collaboration with HPE and NVIDIA helps break down common barriers in developing AI-focused solutions, particularly in managing vast amounts of industrial data from a variety of sources, and brings critical information to the edge.”

Deloitte’s collaboration also extends to hands-on experience through The Smart Factory by Deloitte @ Wichita, a first-of-its-kind client experience center. Here, companies can immerse themselves in Industry 4.0 innovations, including spatial computing and digital twin technologies from Deloitte’s Unlimited Reality practice. This initiative is geared towards helping manufacturers navigate and adopt advanced industrial digitalization strategies.

The collaboration will also develop additional industry-specific use cases leveraging the comprehensive capabilities of HPE Private Cloud AI and NVIDIA’s accelerated computing technology. Marc Waters, Senior Vice President of Customer Success, Services & Solutions at HPE, remarked on the potential of these AI solutions to streamline the AI lifecycle and enhance the development of enterprise AI use cases.

This initiative not only reaffirms Deloitte and HPE’s long-standing partnership but also underscores their ongoing commitment to leading digital transformation efforts across industries. With over 25 years of collaboration history, this alliance continues to produce future-ready solutions that span hybrid cloud, edge computing, and the industrial Internet of Things (IoT).
