KPMG and SAS collaborate to support faster cloud transformation for SAS clients

KPMG and SAS today announced a plan to establish Cloud Acceleration Centers with specific focuses in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific. The organizations will work together to help accelerate the move to the Cloud for SAS clients.

As a positive response to the current challenges faced by global organizations, the goal of these centers is to help companies navigate their journey to the cloud – from design and architecture to implementation – more cost-effectively and with increased speed. The centers will be highly collaborative, tech-enabled environments that bring together multidisciplinary teams. They will look to support clients who have their own cloud environment as well as those who are employing other cloud-based managed services.
