The Gemini Enterprise Acceleration Program creates a powerful new execution model by bringing together the combined strength of Google Cloud and Accenture AI engineers. Supported by Accenture's Google Cloud-skilled professionals, including the largest certified talent pool in the industry, the program delivers:
Dedicated engineering power: Google and Accenture forward deployed engineers (FDEs) will partner on the most challenging customer use cases to prototype and deliver scaled, industry-specific AI solutions and agents that will transform workflows across customer engagements and entire value chains.
Early access to frontier models: Google DeepMind – a world leading AI research lab – will provide early access to its frontier models, including the Gemini family of models. Accenture's feedback will help refine these models to ensure they are equipped to deliver benefits for clients.
Advanced decision intelligence: The program will leverage the Accenture Intelligent Digital Brain, a full-stack capability designed to close the gap between data-rich and truly intelligent enterprises. It creates systems that connect AI across every function, turning operational silos and disconnected point solutions into a connected, self-optimizing business engine that is always on, always listening, and always learning. Accenture will apply Faculty's decision intelligence capabilities to support high-stakes, mission-critical decisions, providing governance and human oversight as AI systems generate connected, actionable insights and recommendations that drive measurable business value and growth.
Pre-built and sovereign AI agents: With access to a catalog of hundreds of industry-specific agents built by Accenture and available on the Google Cloud Marketplace, organizations can more quickly achieve value realization. In addition, Google Cloud and Accenture also address the unique needs of sovereign AI data centers and data sovereignty needs, delivering pre-built agents for sovereign deployment.
According to Accenture research, as AI agents increasingly make online purchases, over 90% of frequent AI users say they would switch brands based on an agent's recommendation. Together with Accenture Song, the two companies are already helping clients adopt agentic commerce solutions that deliver differentiated experiences for consumers, suppliers and partners. Expanding on their early success in retail, Google Cloud and Accenture will create an enterprise workbench to enable faster decisions, more responsive operations and unlock new growth opportunities. It will be built using a combination of Gemini Enterprise for Customer Experience and Google AI Studio, along with Accenture's Google Cloud-native workbench, Agentic Commerce OS, industry-specific AI agents, retail AI models and design expertise from Accenture Song. Accenture and Google Cloud worked together to build new, industry-specific agents to help orchestrate intelligent workflows across customer engagement, merchandising, service, marketplace operations, payments, fulfillment and partner collaboration.
Google Cloud and Accenture Song will also work together to deliver a new offering, Generative Content OS, which transforms how marketing organizations create, manage and scale best-in-class digital content using Gemini Enterprise. By building AI-powered content studios, marketers can increase speed-to-market, and create hyper-personalized, one-to-one digital experiences. The solution uses advanced generative media capabilities from Google Cloud's Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform – including Gemini 3.1 Flash Image (Nano Banana) and Veo – coupled with Accenture's deep expertise in creative production, workflow reinvention, operating model design and talent strategy.
Conclusion
As Julie Sweet, chair and CEO of Accenture, stated: "AI is simple to try and hard to scale—and that's the moment leaders are in right now. The real shift is moving from using AI as a tool to deploying agents that can take on meaningful work across the enterprise. We are excited to expand our collaboration with Google Cloud to help our clients make that shift at scale, with humans in the lead, so that AI is embedded in how work gets done, strengthens customer experiences and delivers measurable business outcomes."
Thomas Kurian, CEO of Google Cloud, added: "The true potential of AI is unlocked when it moves from being a tool to a teammate. Together with Accenture, we're creating a new generation of enterprise solutions that don't just answer queries, but proactively solve complex business challenges, delivering measurable growth and a distinct competitive advantage."
