KPMG expands AI collaboration with Google Cloud for business
KPMG has announced an expansion of its collaboration with Google Cloud, leveraging AI technologies to transform business operations in legal services, banking, and other industries.
KPMG will aid clients in constructing integrated, scalable AI platforms through its role as a key deployment partner for Google Agentspace. This initiative aims to enhance decision-making and efficiently manage AI agents using trusted and secure technology.
The collaboration will utilise tools such as Agentspace, Vertex AI Agent Builder, and Agent Development Kit. Additionally, KPMG and Google Cloud will work together on new capabilities through Google Cloud's Agent2Agent (A2A) interoperability protocol, which standardises cross-platform communication for AI agents.
KPMG Law US, a subsidiary of KPMG LLP, will integrate Google Cloud AI to enhance its service offerings, focusing on AI-assisted contract review, research, and legal automation to streamline processes like document analysis and compliance checks.
The partnership extends to the banking sector, where KPMG and Google Cloud aim to transform services by deploying AI agents to assist in complex operations such as commercial lending, leveraging KPMG's industry expertise to enhance business functions.
KPMG will also implement Google Cloud's AI internally to enhance employee experiences, with a firm-wide deployment of Agentspace to improve administrative task efficiency and internal system navigation.
This initiative includes using NotebookLM Enterprise to transform employee learning and development by integrating enterprise knowledge systems into a unified resource.
The collaboration draws on past successes of KPMG and Google Cloud, which have assisted clients across industries, from finance to risk management and beyond, with AI-driven solutions that improve operations and regulatory compliance.
KPMG's Vice Chair of AI and Digital Innovation, Steve Chase, stated, "I am excited about how KPMG and Google Cloud are helping clients transform their organizations by harnessing the best of KPMG's functional and industry expertise and Agentspace's cutting-edge technology. We're enabling clients to put the right AI and agent capabilities in place today to create lasting value."
Kevin Ichhpurani, Global Partner Ecosystem President at Google Cloud, commented, "KPMG's rollout of Google Agentspace will help transform business processes, driving efficiency and innovation both internally for KPMG and for our mutual clients. We're also thrilled with KPMG's partnership on the A2A protocol, which will help connect AI agents across workflows, companies, and entire industries to solve difficult challenges, increase efficiency and boost decision-making."
Rema Serafi, Vice Chair – Tax, KPMG, remarked, "Our collaboration with Google Cloud represents a significant milestone for KPMG and KPMG Law US. We're using Google Agentspace to develop a platform of specialized legal agents that empower our KPMG Law US professionals to deliver enhanced value. This alliance not only supports corporate legal departments in elevating their roles as strategic advisors but also epitomizes the innovative spirit we envisioned when founding KPMG Law US – leveraging advanced technology at scale to transform how legal services are delivered."
Rob Fisher, Consulting Sector Leader for Financial Services and Insurance at KPMG LLP, noted, "AI technologies are advancing rapidly, which means that banks will need to continue investing in digital platforms so that they can bring competitive online banking experiences to customers. Integration with platforms like Google Agentspace are critical to enable the seamless online banking experiences that customers have come to expect."
