At Cloud Next ‘25 in Las Vegas, Google announced a wave of strategic collaborations with top global consulting firms — Accenture, Capgemini, Deloitte, and KPMG. The aim is to accelerate enterprise adoption of agentic AI technologies using its Gemini models, Agentspace, and the newly launched Agent2Agent (A2A) interoperability protocol.
Accenture introduced a comprehensive suite of new offerings in agentic AI, cloud, networking, and mainframe modernisation to assist clients in unlocking business intelligence and driving innovation.
Notably, the company is launching industry-specific agent accelerators through its joint GenAI Centre of Excellence with Google. These consist of AI-driven content agents for Mondelez International, digital financial assistants for C6 Bank, and enhanced forecasting for CNA Insurance.
“Accenture is continuing to double down on its strategic partnership with Google Cloud, continuously investing in new capabilities to help our clients accelerate reinvention and spur innovation,” said Scott Alferi, senior managing director at Accenture.
“We are helping clients build an agile, cloud-based digital core, integrating advanced data and AI technologies.”
Meanwhile, Capgemini deepened its alliance with Google Cloud to develop tailored agentic AI solutions focused on telco, retail, and financial services, with plans to expand into life sciences and utilities.
Leveraging Agentspace and the Customer Engagement Suite, Capgemini aims to transform customer experiences by optimising workflows and enabling proactive support.
“By understanding the potential of agentic AI and the business realities of our clients, we’re expertly placed to maximise its value and deliver genuine impact,” said Fernando Alvarez, chief strategy and development officer at Capgemini.
Google’s Kevin Ichhpurani added that the partnership will deliver “AI solutions that drive long-term value across industries”.
Also, Deloitte announced its largest investment yet with Google Cloud by introducing over 100 ready-to-deploy AI agents built on Agentspace and Gemini. These agents aim to transform customer and employee experiences across industries.
The company is also co-developing the Agent2Agent protocol with Google and ServiceNow, which will enable interoperability among AI agents across platforms and cloud providers.
“Clients are getting flooded with information about agents... With collaborations like Google Cloud and ServiceNow, we aim to be a one-stop shop,” said Jason Salzetti, chair and CEO of Deloitte Consulting LLP.
Deloitte claims a productivity boost of over 30% in areas like contract redlining, credit loan automation, and technical data transformation.
KPMG, too, is building AI-powered customer solutions and internal tools to improve productivity and employee experiences, rounding out Google’s broader push to embed agentic AI across enterprise ecosystems.
By building on Google Cloud’s AI innovations, KPMG aims to deliver AI agents that not only respond to customer needs across multiple engagement channels but also support consultants and analysts with real-time data insights, improving service delivery and reducing turnaround times.
“We're enabling clients to put the right AI and agent capabilities in place today to create lasting value,” said Steve Chase, vice chair of AI and digital innovation, KPMG LLP.
