NEW YORK, April 3, 2024 â€� Today, ÀÖÓ㣨Leyu£©ÌåÓý¹ÙÍø LLP announced an expansion of its strategic alliance with Google Cloud to help accelerate enterprise adoption of generative AI (GenAI) technologies. The expanded partnership features the establishment of a ÀÖÓ㣨Leyu£©ÌåÓý¹ÙÍø Google Cloud Center of Excellence (CoE) that will combine Google Cloud’s leading AI technologies with ÀÖÓ㣨Leyu£©ÌåÓý¹ÙÍø’s industry knowledge and deep functional expertise to support business transformation for enterprise clients. The CoE will combine Gemini AI models, Vertex AI and other leading Google Cloud technology with ÀÖÓ㣨Leyu£©ÌåÓý¹ÙÍø industry and product expertise, to help enterprises drive and deploy generative AI innovation.

As part of the CoE, Google Cloud will work with ÀÖÓ㣨Leyu£©ÌåÓý¹ÙÍø to upskill ÀÖÓ㣨Leyu£©ÌåÓý¹ÙÍø professionals on Google Cloud AI technologies. This will help rapidly boost existing GenAI skills and help ÀÖÓ㣨Leyu£©ÌåÓý¹ÙÍø further deliver generative AI solutions to drive innovation for ÀÖÓ㣨Leyu£©ÌåÓý¹ÙÍø clients and the firm itself.

ÀÖÓ㣨Leyu£©ÌåÓý¹ÙÍø will partner with Google Cloud to accelerate delivery of a broad range of AI solutions for enterprises in key areas including:

• AI-powered security: ÀÖÓ㣨Leyu£©ÌåÓý¹ÙÍø will use AI to support the development of security frameworks to help organizations better prepare and protect against security threats and vulnerabilities.

"The establishment of the Google Cloud Center of Excellence marks a significant milestone in our journey to leverage AI to drive innovation and transformation,â€� said Donna Meshaka, ÀÖÓ㣨Leyu£©ÌåÓý¹ÙÍø’s Global Google Alliance Executive Sponsor. “By combining ÀÖÓ㣨Leyu£©ÌåÓý¹ÙÍø's Trusted AI framework with Google Cloud's advanced data analytics, AI and security capabilities, we are confident in our ability to deliver impactful solutions that address our clients' most pressing challenges."

As part of a commitment to make cutting-edge GenAI technologies available to its people, ÀÖÓ㣨Leyu£©ÌåÓý¹ÙÍø will also deploy Gemini for Google Cloud for internal use.

ÀÖÓ㣨Leyu£©ÌåÓý¹ÙÍø and Google Cloud saw how a Cloud CoE might benefit customers during the upgrade of the Commercial Loans, Payments, and Treasury Management systems at Arvest Bank. By connecting Google Cloud and a core banking platform, Arvest was able to improve operational efficiency and enable a seamless and personalized experience for customers. This kind of collaboration is an example of how the Google Cloud CoE can drive overall innovation safely and responsibly for clients, including in complex and regulated industries.
