Google has announced in an official blog post that it will be partnering up with Dutch professional services company KPMG to help businesses adopt cloud-based technologies through the Google Cloud platform.
Three out of the “Big Four” professional services companies (EY, PwC and Deloitte) currently have cloud partnerships with global cloud-based providers such as Oracle, IBM, Microsoft, and SAP to name but a few.
As more enterprises see the value of moving to the cloud, making the transition to a cloud-based platform can be tricky. Google’s partnership with KPMG will tackle issues relating to business transformation, cyber security and regulatory compliance.
KPMG have already built two solutions on the Google Cloud platform, which are already available for businesses to use, KPMG’s Intelligent Interactions and GDPR Assessment and Compliance Services.
In the post, KPMG said that Google Cloud’s size, scale, and security, as well as their “AI-first” commitment, priority and openness to their customers as beneficial to the company.
The company also added about bringing machine learning technologies to businesses through their pre-trained ML models where their customers will not need to build and train their own models.
Also, KPMG have built their own ML models using the Google Cloud Machine Learning Engine in which enterprises can customise through their Cloud ML Engine.
