Expanded Partner Initiatives
Google Public Sector is increasing its investments in partner initiatives to foster collaboration and expand mission delivery capabilities. These updates are structured around four pillars: enhanced partner incentives, a partner-led user success program, backing builders and powering alliances, and market-accelerating alliances.
Incentives and Training for Partners
New incentives and discounts will reward partners for pre-sales technical depth, solution design, and proof-of-concept execution. A new Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) academy will provide rigorous training to build Google-trained FDEs within partner practices. Pre-Sales Deal Acceleration Funds are also being increased to co-invest in partner-led customer workshops and proofs of concept.
Gemini Adoption and Deployment Funding
To support sustained frontline Gemini adoption, Google Public Sector is investing $45 million in dedicated deployment and adoption funding. This funding is intended to cover partner professional services for deploying Gemini across the U.S. public sector, ensuring operational readiness from day one.
ISV Support and Strategic Alliances
A new ISV Agent Factory is being launched to accelerate the development of specialized public sector agents. This builds on the existing ISV ATO Accelerator, which provides up to $1 million in funding per ISV to offset costs for GovRAMP, FedRAMP, and DoD Impact Level accreditations. Additionally, Google Public Sector announced a strategic alliance with SHI to activate over 400 sellers in state, local, and education markets. Accenture Federal Services is also launching new Gemini Launchpads to assist federal agencies with agentic experimentation and mission execution.
