Accenture and Google Cloud said the new organization will concentrate on four areas: speeding up Gemini Enterprise adoption with implementation tools and frameworks, developing reusable industry-specific solutions, creating capability centers for larger deployments and increasing use of applications and workflows built with Gemini Enterprise.
Accenture also plans to expand training and certification around Gemini Enterprise across its workforce. The companies are positioning the 1,000-person forward deployed engineering team as a resource for customers that need more direct technical support while implementing AI systems.
“The Accenture Gemini Enterprise Business Group will help clients achieve these outcomes faster, bringing together the talent, advanced AI and data capabilities, and industry expertise needed to reinvent with confidence and create value at scale,” Accenture Chair and CEO Julie Sweet said.
Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian said the group “significantly expands the expertise and resources available to help our customers deliver real business value.”
The companies pointed to YouTube as an example of work already being done through their partnership. YouTube used a Gemini Enterprise agent during periods of higher demand related to NFL Sunday Ticket. Accenture and Google Cloud said the deployment improved customer sentiment by 11% and cut average handle time by 37%.
The new group builds on existing work between the two companies, including their Generative and Agentic AI Center of Excellence and Gemini Enterprise Acceleration Program. Accenture was also named Google Cloud’s 2026 Global Services Partner of the Year for the fourth consecutive year, as well as Global Partner of the Year for Artificial Intelligence: Sales & Services and Global Public Sector.
The broader goal is to give enterprises more dedicated engineering, training and implementation resources as they shift from testing agentic AI systems to deploying them across business operations.
