As 2020 comes to an end,
businesses big and small have witnessed the profound impact of the novel coronavirus
and learnt the importance of digitalisation for business transformation and to continue
delivering value to stakeholders.
To this end, Ernst & Young (EY) has
launched the EY Microsoft Services Group to enable clients across various
sectors including financial services, energy, government and healthcare to reinvent the back office with Microsoft Cloud technologies and
experience.
With more than 80% of EY client services and solutions hosted
on Microsoft Azure, the EY Microsoft Services Group builds on the organisations’ existing
strategic alliance ecosystem that includes Microsoft Azure,
Dynamics 365, Power Platform and Microsoft 365 cloud services.
Being the first to establish a dedicated Microsoft Services Group among
the ‘Big Four’, the group will leverage Microsoft’s online learning catalogue and
classrooms – to accelerate the EY capacity beyond today’s several thousand
certified EY Microsoft practitioners and more than 20,000 EY employees with
Microsoft training.
Greg Jenko, EY Global and Americas
Microsoft Services Group Leader, said: “Business transformation remains at the
forefront of many organisations’ priorities this year.
“With the establishment of the EY
Microsoft Services Group, we are focused on applying EY teams’ technology
capabilities to help deliver long-term value by accelerating digital
transformation for clients.
“With a robust combination of Microsoft cloud-based products and deep EY technology consulting and delivery service experience across the globe, we provide the leading capabilities clients need in a rapidly changing digital landscape.”
