KPMG has announced the expansion of its strategic relationship with Microsoft to deliver new solutions.
The partnership will focus on new solutions for data and analytics, cloud compliance and transformation and business solutions.
The collaboration will be based upon Microsoft’s Azure, Dynamics and data platforms. The aim is to realise the business potential of one global, scalable platform.
It is hoped that the platform will be able to deliver cloud-based solutions for CRM, ERP and Data and Analytics.
Mark Goodburn, KPMG’s Global Head of Advisory, said: "The CEOs I talk to are increasingly looking for KPMG to combine our business expertise with the power of new technology to better help them transform their business."
"The real point of difference in this collaboration is our ability to set new standards for innovative business solutions, enabled by Microsoft’s leading platform and application suite, delivered rapidly to market to create real business value."
The focus on Data and Analytics aims to increase performance with a new integrated data and analytics platform and Microsoft’s data solutions within the cloud.
The new cloud compliance and cloud transformation offerings will help to move clients to the cloud.
While the business solutions area of the partnership will see KPMG use Microsoft’s, Dynamics Enterprise Resource Planning and CRM Solutions to further its customer and growth engines.
Scott Guthrie, Microsoft Executive Vice President of the Cloud and Enterprise, said: "We are excited to bring together KPMG’s industry expertise, global network and business transformation acumen with Microsoft’s enterprise cloud technologies, data, analytic and business solutions to help customers deal with their most challenging issues."
