Google is scaling agent deployment through an IBM-staffed Google Cloud Practice with thousands of certified consultants and an NTT DATA Gemini Enterprise practice targeting 5,000 certified experts co-developing up to 500 agents (Crescendo AI).

For solo builders this is a reminder that distribution and integration eat capability for breakfast in the enterprise.
