- Talent Center of Excellence joins EY and IBM capabilities
and technologies
- AI and hybrid cloud solutions to be developed for HR service
transformation
LONDON, May 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- EY and IBM (NYSE:
IBM) today announce an alliance expansion through a new initiative
to help businesses around the world address some of the most
pressing workforce challenges in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic,
including employee recruiting, retention, upskilling and the need
to transform HR systems technology at speed and scale.
With the aim to help organizations navigate this new talent
landscape through digital innovation and greater resilience, EY and
IBM have established a new Talent Center of Excellence (COE). The
COE will create data-driven AI and hybrid cloud solutions that
provide broad talent, HR, mobility, and payroll transformation
services. Bringing together the EY Organization & Workforce,
Mobility and HR Transformation business solutions with IBM Talent
Transformation business and hybrid cloud and AI capabilities, it is
the newest expansion of the EY-IBM Alliance and second COE
established in the past year.
Andy Baldwin, EY Global Managing
Partner – Client Service, says:
"The combination of EY and IBM broad talent consulting and
technology solutions can help clients transform their workforce by
addressing some of the most significant talent challenges facing
the market today. Through this alliance expansion, EY and IBM are
better equipped to help deliver value to clients by putting humans
at the center of the experience and helping them overcome the
urgent need to attract, retain and upskill their workforce while
transforming their HR function."
John Granger, Senior Vice
President – IBM Consulting, says:
"Clients are demanding larger, more integrated solutions across
the talent landscape that no one company can provide. The EY-IBM
Alliance will provide consulting and technology solutions that
infuse AI and automation into the talent process to help clients
simplify and streamline the experience. The collaboration with EY
is yet another example of IBM's open ecosystem model designed to
drive market-share for partners, bring value to clients and will
further differentiate EY and IBM across the talent industry,
resetting the standard for talent solutions globally."
Further illustrating the depth of the EY-IBM Alliance in this
space, EY has invested in the organization's own Talent function.
By leveraging IBM automation and intelligence technology, EY is
transforming Talent from within to develop a leading class
acquisition strategy, help in delivering a simplified user
experience and enable the ability to better match available skills
and talent to jobs.
This new COE follows the successful launch of the EY-IBM Center
of Excellence for Financial Services, which has supported nearly 30
financial institutions with solutions including mainframe
modernization, application modernization and cloud security. Both
centers are enabled and supported by the IBM TechHub@EY, launched
in April 2021, which has designed
hybrid cloud solutions for more than 130 clients including asset
performance management, carbon accounting, workplace insights and
other platforms. The IBM TechHub@EY has also provided well over
23,000 hours of continued professional education to train and
certify EY practitioners on IBM AI and hybrid cloud.
