Technology consultancy firm Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Ltd. has launched a new engineering practice it says will help clients scale up their own software engineering and product innovation efforts.

Announced today, Deloitte Engineering is focused on helping clients get ahead of the curve with transformational new technologies such as generative artificial intelligence, cloud-native applications, Web3 and connected products.

Deloitte explained that these technologies are seen as essential for enterprise growth. As such, engineering has emerged as a key growth driver for organizations in almost every industry, as they strive to build new digital products to deliver better customer experiences, enhance organizational agility and speed time to market.

However, most organizations are not equipped to take advantage of these opportunities, and there is a distinct lack of engineering talent available, Deloitte said. That’s where the Deloitte Engineering practice is intended to help.

The unit is said to combine Deloitte’s full engineering stack with its deep experience in business transformation. It also leverages Deloitte’s broad investments in domain and sector experience, including its acquisitions of companies such as HashedIn Technologies Ltd., SFL Scientific and Optimal Design Co.

Through Deloitte Engineering, clients will gain access to Deloitte’s expertise in digital product and app development, enabling them to expedite the development of new products and innovative features. Deloitte’s software platforms engineering skills can help customers to build modern technology stacks based on a microservices architecture, with application programming interface-driven connectivity and scalable DevOps infrastructure, it said.

It also offers expertise in data engineering and AI, helping clients to build next-generation machine learning experiences. Finally, Deloitte’s experience in embedded software engineering can help customers to stand up testing at scale and architect integrated, digital value chains to support these new products.

Deloitte’s U.S. Chief Strategy and Technology Officer Ranjit Bawa said enterprises are keen to embrace cloud-native principles and modern engineering approaches, but lack the experience to do so alone. “Our modern engineering and domain experience, coupled with our deep ecosystems and Alliances relationships, are at the leading-edge of business,” he said. “Deloitte Engineering uses innovative AI, cloud-native tech stacks, and modern ways of working to build end-to-end, customer-first solutions that never lose sight of the drive for fresh enterprise value.”

Earlier this year, Deloitte established a new practice specifically focused on generative AI, saying it would help clients implement third-party AI solutions and also build their own from scratch.
