Melbourne-based Olikka is provider of cloud migration and related services, with particular expertise on AWS and Azure.

"Olikka's extensive experience with AWS and Azure, coupled with their strong cloud-native capabilities in high demand areas such as application modernisation and security, means we can go straight to the heart of our clients' most pressing challenges and fully deliver value," said Accenture Cloud First global lead Karthik Narain.

"With the addition of Olikka's talented team of cloud application developers, we'll be better positioned than ever to help companies in the Australian and New Zealand market deliver on the promise of technology and human ingenuity."

Accenture technology lead for Australia and New Zealand Scott Hahn said "The addition of Olikka will immediately reinforce Accenture's position as a leading AWS and Microsoft Azure cloud partner in the Australia-New Zealand market.

"We're confident it will also accelerate our growth through services complimentary to our Cloud First capabilities."

The approximately 50 Olikka employees will join the 70,000 cloud professionals that already make up Accenture Cloud First.

"Joining Accenture is a remarkable opportunity for our team at Olikka to accelerate our growth and continue the journey we started less than 10 years ago," said Olikka managing director Michael Pascoe.

"We've always made a difference for our clients, and with Accenture's resources, scale, and ecosystem partnerships we can now scale-up that impact with cloud transformation projects of any size and type. We look forward to contributing our ingenuity, skills and culture to the Accenture team, and to helping clients in the region use cloud to innovate faster to make a difference."
