Google Cloud races to catch up in the AI deployment wars with Accenture deal

Google Cloud and Accenture have created the Accenture Gemini Enterprise Business Group, training up to 1,000 Accenture forward-deployed engineers to build custom AI applications on Google’s Gemini Enterprise platform for enterprise clients. The move follows Google’s $750 million partner ecosystem push and aims to boost its modest 6% share of U.S. enterprise AI spending against rivals such as Anthropic (43.5%) and OpenAI (39.7%).
