Of note, the award highlights EY teams’ industry-leading global tax and audit Azure-based platforms, and specifically the EY Global Tax Platform (GTP), an automated cloud-enabled data management platform for enterprises to digitally transform tax. GTP is driving industry-wide innovation and disrupting the tax and finance market at speed, bringing together EY intellectual property and capabilities paired with Azure. In doing so, the platform seamlessly and quickly transforms tax and finance functions to reduce risk, help enable cost-efficient tax operations and provide increased value through data reuse, analytics, visualizations and more.

In addition, the Global Energy Partner of the Year Award recognizes extensive EY industry insights, combined with Microsoft’s powerful cloud technologies, which have led to the development of two innovative digital energy solutions: EY Digital Energy Enablement Platform (EY DEEP) and EY UtilityWave. Both are designed to help energy companies improve performance, gain efficiencies and support better decision-making by helping enable data-driven decisions that allow them to thrive in this new energy-efficient world.

EY DEEP digitally integrates key processes across the oil and gas value chain – including complex well engineering, production and maintenance optimization, supply chain management and financial modeling – with a common data model to allow a broad extension of the platform across the organization. EY UtilityWave is an Internet of Things (IOT) and data platform that provides utility companies with the capabilities needed to address the biggest challenges of a digitized, dynamic energy system, in one business-focused platform.

Lastly, the Global Financial Services Partner of the Year Award highlights innovative services and solutions built on Microsoft technology, specifically designed for clients in the financial services sector. The award recognizes the EY Global Financial Crime platform, a scalable and secure solution developed with Microsoft, to help modernize banks’ financial crime operations. Hosted on Azure, the platform of solutions helps banks of all sizes comply with the financial sector’s enhanced regulatory and security demands, while helping improve risk management effectiveness, increase automation and reduce client onboarding time.
