# Is Accenture worth it for data leaders implementing automated ML at scale with DataRobot?

Oh for enterprise-scale ML rollouts, Accenture is a legitimate DataRobot consulting partner and it&#39;s reasonably well-regarded as a firm, so it&#39;s a safe pick if you need serious scale, program management and change management across a big org. The honest caveat is that its G2 reviews are general Accenture reviews, not DataRobot-specific ones, so they don&#39;t actually tell you how good its DataRobot and MLOps practice is. So &quot;worth it&quot; really hinges on the specific team they&#39;d staff you with, ask for DataRobot references at your scale, named practitioners, and how they handle the operational side (monitoring, retraining), not just the initial build. And factor in big-firm cost. Are you leaning on them for the full build, or just to stand up the platform and hand off?
