Deloitte and Amazon Web Services (AWS) are collaborating on a multi-year strategic agreement to help clients around the world scale their generative Artificial Intelligence, data and analytics, and quantum computing capabilities by using AWS services.
Together, the two organizations will establish an Innovation Lab, helping clients explore future technologies like artificial general intelligence (AGI), quantum machine learning (ML), and autonomous robotics, while working together to help joint clients innovate and solve industry-specific issues using the capabilities that generative AI has to offer, according to Deloitte and AWS.
“Customers across industries are seeking to understand the full transformative potential of generative AI to generate value for their business,” said Ruba Borno, vice president, global specialist and partner organization, Amazon Web Services. “Our collaboration with Deloitte has accelerated industry innovation with customers by combining technical and industry experience, along with the choice and the flexibility for customers to use a combination of different foundation models for their specific use cases.”
Additionally, the two organizations will make funding available to support customers taking successful proofs of concept (POCs) into production.
The Innovation Lab will allow Deloitte and AWS engineers to collaborate on building industry-specific solutions across financial services; government and public sector; life sciences and health care; media and telecommunications; consumer; and energy, resources and industrials.
This will build on the work Deloitte and AWS are already doing to support customers across industries with generative AI, through existing industry offerings such as TrueServe, a suite of leading contact center technologies with built-in-AI to enhance responsiveness, and the Converge by Deloitte portfolio?specifically its BankingSuite solution to help modernize financial institutions’ legacy stack, and ConvergeSECURITY, which aids cloud transformation efforts through AI-enabled cloud security.
As an AWS Partner Network (APN) Premier Tier Services Partner for over seven years, Deloitte recently achieved the AWS Generative AI Competency status at launch—in addition to receiving the AWS Cloud Operations Competency status for its work in cloud financial management, cloud governance, monitoring and observability, and operations management.
“This initiative will usher the next generation of this promising technology into production and help improve the operational efficiencies of the enterprise,” said Dounia Senawi, chief commercial officer, Deloitte Consulting LLP. “By bringing an industry-specific lens to each of our clients, we are tapping into Deloitte’s IndustryAdvantage, demonstrating our ability to harness powerful technologies like generative AI to help increase workforce productivity, create a competitive edge in the market, and improve end-customer satisfaction.”
