Accenture and Google Cloud announced a strategic alliance to advance solutions for enterprise clients across industries in two critical and related areas: generative AI and cybersecurity.
As part of this announcement, the companies are increasing their investments in services that support enterprises at every stage of their gen AI projects, including providing the expertise to determine optimal use cases, driving strategic innovation projects, and deploying the engineering prowess needed to scale the technology and secure the enterprise. They are also deepening their security work as customers adapt to new risks unique to gen AI, including securing model data, managing cyberattacks, and providing remediation services that minimize the impact of breaches and enable faster recovery.
Enterprises will further strengthen support for their customers as they use AI to optimize critical business functions, meet complex industry needs, and protect against sophisticated cybersecurity threats.
Accenture and Google Cloud are also investing in client services to support every stage of a Gen AI project, including rapid prototyping capabilities, assessing AI readiness, and building the right foundation to modernize business applications and customer experiences with Gen AI. Over the past 12 months, Accenture has doubled its Google Cloud certifications to meet the growing demand for Google Cloud technology, and its experts have been accredited with Google Cloud’s new Gen AI Skills badge.
