PwC and Google Announce Joint Business Relationship
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Collaboration to Help Companies Thrive in a Changing World
NEW YORK, Oct. 28, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PwC and Google Inc. (Nasdaq:GOOG)
(Nasdaq:GOOGL) today announced the launch of a joint business relationship to
bring new and innovative services to companies around the world. The rapid pace
of innovation in technology has fundamentally changed how and where work gets
done, driving organizations to transform their businesses for the future.
Together, PwC and Google can help that transformation happen.
From Google, companies get unprecedented innovation, technology platforms and
Internet scale; while PwC brings deep industry experience, a broad range of
business services and cutting-edge client insights, from strategy through
execution. Together, PwC and Google will help companies collaborate more
effectively, better use technology and information, and adapt to the disruptive
forces shaping the world.
"For our clients, acquiring the knowledge most important to their operations,
securing that information and using it optimally are critical - now more than
ever before," said Mike Burwell, PwC's Vice Chairman - Transformation. "PwC is
teaming with Google to offer our joint knowledge and capabilities to clients -
giving them one place to go, maximizing experience and assets from both
organizations."
Together, PwC and Google will help clients by collaborating on existing
solutions and developing new offerings in three areas:
(1) Help companies succeed by leveraging PwC's business insights along with
Google Apps, Google's suite of cloud-enabled collaboration and productivity
tools. In doing so, we will empower companies to be more productive, serve
customers more efficiently and deliver a more connected employee experience.
(2) Use the combined power of PwC's analytical acumen and Google Cloud Platform
to help businesses make the most of technology and information and be better
equipped to compete, creating new services to reinvent and optimize operations,
connect with consumers and provide an enhanced customer experience.
(3) With the right tools and insight now driving decisions, PwC and Google will
guide companies seeking to break new ground in their businesses - not only to
compete with new entrants and adapt to disruptive market forces - but also to
lead the innovation themselves.
"Ultimately, our collaboration is about helping clients to embrace their journey
to the cloud, and transform their organizations to thrive and maintain relevance
in a rapidly changing world," said Tom Archer, PwC's Google Strategic Alliance
Leader.
"Millions of companies, large and small, look to Google to help them launch,
build and transform their businesses," said Amit Singh, President, Google for
Work. "We're delighted to enter into a relationship with PwC - a leading advisor
for businesses around the world - to bring the best of Google to work and help
companies innovate. It's great to see PwC lead by example, accelerating their
own journey to the cloud that will lead to enhanced collaboration, greater speed
and ultimately, transform their business for the digital era."
PwC has also begun to introduce Google for Work products to its own
operations. PwC is transitioning 40,000 people in the United States and 5,000
people in Australia to Google Apps, transforming how those firms do business.
