Accenture and Google Cloud announced an expansion of their worldwide collaboration through an updated commitment to growing their respective talent, improving their joint abilities, creating new solutions using data and AI, and delivering efficient support to help clients build a robust digital core reinvent their businesses on the cloud.
“Large, global organizations require highly trained business transformation experts to execute their digital transformations and to generate business value from their cloud investments quickly,” said Thomas Kurian, CEO of Google Cloud. “This next phase of our partnership with Accenture will significantly scale the professional services and implementation support available to customers globally and deliver new solutions to help businesses and public sector organizations benefit from Google Cloud’s capabilities in AI, ML, data analytics, cybersecurity and more.”
