Accenture's Google Cloud Platform Strategy
Meanwhile, Accenture launched the Accenture Google Cloud Business Group (AGBG) in mid-2018, and the two companies have been developing software and services that deliver data-driven insights to customers.The Cirruseo acquisition certainly fits into that strategy -- especially in Europe. Cirruseo’s expertise allows customers to analyze increasing volumes of data and create hyper-personalized client experiences, all with secured architectures, Accenture claims.In a prepared statement, Olivier Girard, Accenture’s Geographic Unit managing director for France and Benelux, said:“The addition of Cirruseo would be a significant step forward in our growth strategy in France, bringing a strong team of Google Cloud specialists to Accenture. The combination of Cirruseo’s mastery of Google Cloud technologies with our expertise in digital marketing, artificial intelligence and cybersecurity would enhance our ability to deliver a unique end-to-end service offering to help clients with their digital transformations.”
“At a global level, the acquisition of Cirruseo would demonstrate Accenture’s commitment to investing in the skills and capabilities needed to help our clients apply new technologies to accelerate innovation and achieve business outcomes. Growing our Google Cloud capabilities enables Accenture to continue to bring the new to life for our global clients across industries, at scale, each and every day.”
“As the demand for Google Cloud services is booming, joining Accenture is an exciting opportunity for us to help even more organizations benefit from the potential of Google Cloud to drive innovation technologies with Accenture’s industry knowledge and experience in global large-scale cloud initiatives would allow us to bring highly differentiated end-to-end services to the market.”
