Ernst & Young Advisory Pte. Ltd. (EY) and Microsoft collaborate to accelerate AI adoption in organisations in Singapore through EY organisation’s business and industry knowledge of AI and Microsoft’s cloud solutions.
Upskilling
The agreement entails EY investing in upskilling and honing the AI capabilities of its 500 Consulting professionals in Singapore and an expected annual pool of 100 new joiners.
“We are underscoring our commitment to support the national agenda on AI skilling and scaling. One of our priorities is to continually develop a pipeline of AI talent that not only benefits our clients and our profession but also contributes to a more globally competitive talent pool for the industry, ready for a highly digital future economy,” Liew Nam Soon, EY Asean regional managing partner, and Singapore and Brunei country managing partner, said.
Reinventing core business operations
The partnership will focus on embedding AI into the core of business operations, such as finance, procurement, customer experience, and HR, to drive organisational value.
“Prioritising AI, and increasingly GenAI, across front- to back-office functions ensures seamless integration, elevating customer experiences while optimising internal processes. This creates a coherent data-driven ecosystem where enhanced service delivery aligns with efficient operations, helping to drive overall business performance, productivity, innovation, and a competitive edge to deliver sustainable value and organisational growth,” Gaurav Modi, EY Asean and Singapore consulting leader, said.
“By redefining workflows and building intelligent ecosystems with EY clients, we aim to drive innovation, productivity, and sustainable growth, helping businesses remain competitive and future-ready,” Lee Hui Li, Managing Director, Microsoft Singapore, said.
