PwC US and Palantir Technologies Inc. announced an expansion of their strategic alliance to help organizations use data and AI to transform critical business operations and deliver measurable enterprise value. The partnership will start with the identification of three transformation priorities, which include scaling of enterprise AI, M&A transformation, and ERP modernization.
The expanded collaboration combines Palantir’s artificial intelligence and data platforms with PwC’s industry, engineering, and business transformation experience. Together, PwC and Palantir will bring AI deeper into their clients’ enterprise – transforming how decisions are made, how work gets done and how organizations address complex business challenges.
The investment reflects a renewed focus by PwC and Palantir on areas where AI is helping reshape how complex transformations are delivered, including data migrations, agentic workforce solutions, and technology integrations and separations. PwC is also investing in expanding its technical and functional talent across these areas.
“AI’s greatest opportunity isn’t in isolated use cases – it’s in fundamentally changing how enterprises operate,” said Patrick Pugh, Global Alliances & Ecosystem Leader, PwC. “By bringing together PwC’s business transformation and industry experience with Palantir’s technology, we’re helping clients transform critical operations, make better decisions and deliver measurable results.”

“Palantir enables institutions to preserve and expand their alpha,” said Sameer Kirtane, Head of US Commercial at Palantir. “We’re proud to expand our alliance with PwC, pairing Palantir’s platforms with PwC’s business transformation expertise to turn complex data and regulatory challenges into real business outcomes.”
Scaling enterprise AI through engineering and managed services
PwC and Palantir can help organizations move AI from pilots into production through joint engineering, implementation and managed services capabilities. By combining Palantir’s technology with PwC’s engineering, industry and business transformation experience, the alliance can help clients accelerate implementation, scale AI across critical business functions and build the capabilities required to sustain transformation over time.
PwC has been identified as a Leader in the Palantir Ecosystem on the basis of capabilities and expertise in AI Engineering and Managed Services. The designation is a result of the success of PwC in delivering concrete results for its clients, such as an improvement in supply chain operating efficiency by 10% for a food manufacturing client, a forecast accuracy of 90-95% for a grocer, and a 40% reduction in out-of-service vehicles for a car rental company.
Following this success, the alliance can enable scaling of AI in important business areas like supply chain & logistics, customer lifecycle, cyber/digital risks, capital project and real estate management.
Transforming M&A through an AI-native deals platform
PwC and Palantir are introducing the industry’s first AI-native deals IT platform enabled by Palantir Foundry and Palantir’s AI Platform (AIP) to help organizations execute mergers, acquisitions and divestitures with greater speed and confidence. The platform is designed to help organizations execute deals up to 50% faster while reducing one-time transaction costs up to 45%. By accelerating integration and separation activities, organizations can unlock synergies sooner, divest or spin off businesses faster and ultimately drive greater deal value and stronger shareholder returns.
Modernizing ERP with AI-enabled data transformation
PwC and Palantir are helping organizations address one of the biggest sources of risk in ERP transformation: getting the data right before implementation. By combining PwC’s deep SAP expertise and industry experience with Palantir’s AIP, they can help clients identify process inefficiencies, improve data quality and assess transformation decisions earlier – reducing risk while creating a faster, more predictable path to transformation.
This approach can help organizations across industries, including telecommunications, utilities and consumer products, accelerate SAP transformation, improve data readiness and establish a stronger foundation for AI-driven innovation.
1. Enterprise AI Engineering and Managed Services
Moving artificial intelligence from small-scale pilot projects into full production requires specialized infrastructure and operational support. PwC and Palantir offer unified engineering, system implementation, and managed services capabilities to help clients scale AI capabilities across diverse business units.
Recognized as a leader in the Palantir service partner ecosystem for AI engineering, PwC has assisted clients in achieving key operational metrics:
Supply Chain Efficiency: Improved operational supply chain efficiency by up to 10% for a commercial food manufacturer.
Accurate Forecasts: Increased forecast accuracy of demand from 90 to 95 percent for a national grocery chain retailer.
Available Fleets: Cut out-of-service fleets by 40 percent for a global car rental company.
With such metrics established, the collaboration can help companies utilize AI in their valuable operations that include supply chain logistics, customer lifecycle management, cybersecurity, digital risk, capital project planning, and corporate real estate asset management.
2. AI-Native IT Platform for Mergers and Acquisitions
PwC and Palantir have launched an AI-native deals IT platform enabled by Palantir Foundry and Palantir’s AI Platform (AIP). Engineered specifically for corporate M&A, the platform streamlines complex corporate transactions, including mergers, acquisitions, and spin-offs.
Accelerated Execution: Designed to execute corporate M&A transactions up to 50% faster.
Cost Reduction: Projected to reduce one-time transaction and integration costs by up to 45%.
By expediting technical integration and corporate separation workflows, the platform enables deal teams to realize post-merger synergies faster, complete divestitures efficiently, and maximize deal value.
3. AI-Enabled Data Quality for ERP Transformation
Data quality continues to be one of the main areas of risk in ERP migrations. This is because the collaboration of PwC’s experience in SAP migrations and Palantir’s AIP solution enables enterprises to address data quality concerns even before full-scale migration.
Through such an approach, organizations are able to identify bottlenecks within processes, clean up legacy data stores, and map out workflows before execution of the system. Such a capability caters to capital-intensive industries such as telecoms, public utilities, and consumer packaged goods companies, among others.
