Vodafone and Google have signed off on a ten-year expansion of their existing partnership to bolster the telecom firm’s cloud-based platforms, both internally and externally.
The two firms will work together to expand Vodafone’s business services powered by Google Cloud, through which Vodafone already manages its analytics, business intelligence, marketing, and networking analytics.
A key element of the deal noted that Vodafone will use Google’s Vertex AI platform, an enterprise-focused machine learning (ML) system that lets users train and deploy AI applications and large language models (LLMs). Vodafone will use Vertex to build, deploy, and scale ML models and AI applications powered by Google’s Gemini.
“This will help increase the speed and ease with which Vodafone’s operating companies in multiple countries can innovate and launch new products,” Google Cloud said.
