IBM and Google Cloud have partnered to launch a new Google Cloud Practice, aimed at enabling organizations to rapidly scale AI into production and modernize their foundational systems.
This collaborative practice integrates IBM Consulting Advantage, an AI-powered delivery platform, with Google Cloud's Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, cybersecurity, and data solutions. It will be supported by thousands of Google Cloud-certified IBM consultants and engineers focused on enterprise AI deployment, legacy environment modernization, and hybrid landscape management.
The new initiative is anticipated to represent a multi-billion-dollar opportunity for both IBM and Google Cloud. IBM is developing industry-specific AI agents optimized for Gemini Enterprise, covering sectors such as banking, government, and retail, to automate workflows and enhance decision-making.
This partnership allows IBM consultants to build and govern enterprise-grade AI agents directly on Google Cloud. Leveraging IBM's pre-built assets and Google Cloud's robust features, organizations can achieve faster and more consistent deployment of AI solutions. Previous collaborations between the companies include supporting Airbus in migrating and modernizing critical systems for its aerospace businesses.
