In addition, PwC globally has been recognised as a winner and finalist in multiple categories of Microsoft’s Partner of the Year 2024 Awards - in particular PwC won the award for ‘Building with AI Partner of the Year’. The Awards acknowledge PwC’s leadership in transforming some of the world’s largest companies with its holistic business advisory services and Microsoft technology.
PwC globally also is a long standing SAP Platinum Partner. In 2024 alone PwC received the prestigious SAP Pinnacle award and SAP innovation award for its commitment to excellence and innovation. PwC Ireland is committed to working closely with SAP and the firm’s shared clients to bring excellence and innovation across sectors and business functions, in order to unlock the value of AI and its applications for its SAP customers.
Aisling Curtis, Market Leader for PwC Ireland’s Strategic Alliances, said: “These strategic appointments will help develop stronger relationships with Microsoft and SAP accelerating PwC’s ability to deliver Business led tech-enabled business transformation projects for its clients. We look forward to working with Joseph and Dimitri.”
