EMC and EY intensify alliance and strike strategic partnership

31 March 2016 Consultancy.uk

EY and EMC have intensified their alliance and become strategic partners. Following years of close relations a more strategic and integrated offering will, according to the firms, allow them to leverage their joint strengths to better serve their respective client bases. Together the partners have developed seven joint service offerings.

EMC Corporation, EMC, was founded in 1979 and has since grown to be one of the largest information management company on the globe. The company, which has revenues of more than $24 billion, generated by more than 70,000 staff, provides a range of services, including information technology as a service (ITaaS) predominantly through cloud computing based offerings. EMC owes its leading position today to among others heavy investments in R&D, more than $20.7 billion since 2005, as well as an aggressive M&A strategy, with more than $16 billion spent on around 75 acquisitions since 2005.

Strategic alliance
Over the past years, EMC has often collaborated with accounting and consulting giant EY, in particular the Big Four’s Advisory division, spanning both client development and engagement delivery. Building on the track record, the firms have decided to extend the partnership and become strategic allies. Through the deal, the two organisations will seek to leverage each other’s strengths to provide joint value propositions to their respective clients. EY’s clients will gain access to a suite of cloud-based ITaaS, while EMC’s clients will gain access to a wide range of consulting expertise in, among others, data security and cross-industry insight.

Commenting on the deal, Jay Snyder, Senior Vice President Global Alliances at EMC, remarks that: “The EY alliance is a top priority for EMC.
