Part of the Accenture Google Business Group, the new group represents a significant joint investment and brings together Accenture’s Gemini Enterprise-certified professionals, FDEs, specialized Google Cloud engineering talent and Accenture's industry and functional experience to help clients realize measurable business value from their agentic AI and data investments.

Accenture  and Google Cloud  launched the Accenture Gemini Enterprise Business Group, a global group designed to help clients scale Gemini Enterprise outcomes in the agentic AI era.

Part of the Accenture Google Business Group, the new group represents a significant joint investment and brings together Accenture’s Gemini Enterprise-certified professionals, FDEs, specialized Google Cloud engineering talent and Accenture’s industry and functional experience to help clients realize measurable business value from their agentic AI and data investments.

“The companies seeing the greatest outcomes from AI are unlocking new growth, increasing productivity and resilience, and creating better experiences for their customers and employees. 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.”

– Julie Sweet, chair and CEO, Accenture

“Deploying agentic AI is a top priority for enterprises today, and the Accenture Gemini Enterprise Business Group significantly expands the expertise and resources available to help our customers deliver real business value. Building on the success we’ve seen with world’s leading brands, we’re combining Google Cloud’s full-stack AI capabilities with Accenture’s deep industry expertise to deliver transformation at scale.”

– Thomas Kurian, CEO, Google Cloud

 

Introducing the Accenture Gemini Enterprise Business Group

As organizations shift from traditional software development lifecycles to agentic AI, the Accenture Gemini Enterprise Business Group is designed to meet clients wherever they are in their AI and data journeys—from smaller, unit-level implementations to full enterprise reinvention.

Building on Accenture’s nearly 50,000 Google Cloud-skilled professionals, the group will further expand Gemini Enterprise training and certification and establish a 1,000-person FDE workforce. Operating across the full Gemini Enterprise portfolio, the business group will prioritize four key areas:

  • Increasing adoption of Gemini Enterprise with proprietary accelerators and implementation frameworks purpose-built for Gemini Enterprise deployments;
  • Building repeatable, industry-specific solutions that reduce time-to-value;
  • Bridging the gap between AI experimentation and enterprise-scale transformation with dedicated capability centers; and
  • Driving user adoption and the use of Gemini Enterprise-built capabilities at scale.

 

Real-World Customer Transformation

The Accenture Gemini Enterprise Business Group extends the agentic AI success for clients with solutions across the Gemini Enterprise portfolio. For example, YouTube partnered with Accenture and Google Cloud to deploy a Gemini Enterprise agent during NFL Sunday Ticket surge demand, boosting customer sentiment by 11% and slashing average handle time by 37%.

Drawing on the success of the companies’ joint Generative and Agentic AI Center of Excellence and the Gemini Enterprise Acceleration Program, the Accenture Gemini Enterprise Business Group is designed to further strengthen Accenture and Google Cloud’s shared commitment to helping clients lead in the agentic AI era. This year Accenture was named Google Cloud’s 2026 Global Services Partner of the Year for the fourth consecutive year and was also recognized as Global Partner of the Year for Artificial Intelligence: Sales & Services and Global Public Sector.

“The formation of the Accenture Gemini Enterprise Business Group reflects an evolution in how leading service providers are structuring their commitment to Google Cloud AI delivery. Everest Group has recognized Accenture as a Leader in Google Cloud services, distinguished by its vision and capabilities to industrialize agentic AI at enterprise scale. This new business group aims to respond directly to growing buyer demand for partners that can support AI-led growth and translate AI investments into production-grade outcomes. It also reflects a broader shift toward deeper, co-investment-driven partnerships as enterprises seek to scale AI transformation.”

– Yugal Joshi, Partner, Everest Group
