· opgehaald 21:15

Google Cloud and Accenture launch the Accenture Gemini Enterprise Business Group: up to 1,000 Accenture forward-deployed engineers trained to build custom apps on Gemini Enterprise, as Google chases OpenAI/Anthropic on AI deployment.

On 8 Sep 2026 TechCrunch reported Google Cloud’s new joint unit with Accenture — Accenture Gemini Enterprise Business Group — housing up to 1,000 Accenture FDEs trained on Gemini Enterprise for on-site enterprise AI builds. It sits under Accenture and follows Google’s broader FDE push ($750M partner ecosystem with Capgemini/Cognizant/Deloitte; CVC portfolio deployments) as Ramp data still shows Google far behind Anthropic/OpenAI on enterprise model spend.
