Deloitte and VMware have announced the creation of the Deloitte VMware Distributed Cloud (DVDC) practice to help clients transform their businesses and the industries they serve by more effectively implementing and utilizing distributed cloud architectures. The Deloitte and VMware alliance, and now the strategic DVDC practice, aims to help clients efficiently implement distributed cloud architectures, including public, private and the edge, to deliver impactful transformations and address unique industry considerations. This launch is the direct result of close alignment and collaboration between Deloitte and VMware, which now sees Deloitte recognized with a VMware Partner Achievement award for the third consecutive year.

The strategic DVDC practice area within Deloitte will provide advanced software engineering and multi-cloud services capabilities to clients to accelerate product velocity, enabled across distributed cloud environments. Deloitte and VMware will help clients pivot to modern software engineering by enhancing developer experience and enabling tools and services to deliver more efficient and effective development and delivery of products and applications. VMware Cross-Cloud services, particularly VMware Tanzu, will provide a modern cloud-native apps platform in an ecosystem strategy that enables Deloitte to deliver apps to production faster and more securely across industries such as retail, public sector, health care, financial services and automotive.

“The Deloitte VMware Distributed Cloud practice will focus on transforming our client’s technology to become an innovation enabler,” said Ranjit Bawa, principal and U.S. cloud leader, Deloitte Consulting LLP

Zia Yusuf, senior vice president of strategic ecosystem and industry solutions, VMware, said, “as exemplified by being a multi-year VMware Partner Achievement award winner, it’s clear that VMware and Deloitte are fully aligned on our commitment to delivering outcomes as a service to our mutual clients.”
