Palantir Technologies has announced that it has signed a multi-year enterprise agreement for its Foundry Platform with
Rio Tinto.
Palantir’s software will integrate raw data from many separate sources into a representation of critical mining operations. Rio Tinto is then expected to be able to make decisions and take actions using a single source of truth that combines operational and transactional data. This data resource will be available, with the necessary security and privacy controls, to its frontline and office-based workers.
“This partnership is an important step in our digital transformation; enabling fast-paced, forward-looking decision making across our operations leading to improved results in safety, cost and production,” Fay Cranmer, Rio Tinto’s CIO, said in a release. “We are excited to work with Palantir in the collaborative delivery of digital products, with best-in-class data technology.”
