Google Cloud and Accenture have formed a joint unit called the Accenture Gemini Enterprise Business Group. The unit sits inside Accenture and helps customers deploy Google Cloud's agent platform. It will be staffed by engineers who work on site at customer premises. Google Cloud will help train up to 1,000 of these engineers. Both firms are betting that on-site engineers are what turns generative AI into business results. Other companies have made similar bets on the same staffing model. The Wall Street Journal reported the launch.
