Google Cloud and Accenture Launch 1,000-Person AI Engineering Team
Google Cloud and Accenture are launching a new business group focused on deploying Gemini Enterprise inside customer organizations. The initiative aims to establish a workforce of 1,000 forward-deployed engineers as part of the effort.
The Accenture Gemini Enterprise Business Group will operate within the existing Accenture Google Business Group and bring together certified professionals, forward-deployed engineers, Google Cloud engineering staff, and industry specialists.
This move comes as AI scaling remains limited, with only 22% of organizations surveyed having successfully scaled AI across multiple business units or adopted an AI-first approach. The survey covered 1,303 respondents from organizations with annual revenue of at least $50 million.
Google Cloud and Accenture said one of the new group's priorities is moving customers from AI experimentation to enterprise-scale implementations. Dedicated capability centers will support this work, while Accenture's existing pool of nearly 50,000 Google Cloud-skilled professionals will provide a base for further Gemini Enterprise training and certification.
