Intapp, a leading provider of cloud-based software for the global professional and financial services industry, today announced that it has entered a strategic alliance with KPMG AG. 

Together, Intapp and KPMG will enable private capital, investment banking, legal, accounting, and consulting firms as well as corporate legal department clients to harness the full power of the cloud through purpose-built solutions and services. This collaboration builds on KPMG’s successful global alliance with Microsoft and furthers Intapp’s global strategic partnership with Microsoft as well. 

This strategic alliance will facilitate firmwide connectivity, allowing professionals to provide more effective and insightful services using cloud technology that unlocks the full value of data, delivers context-aware intelligence, and fosters greater operational efficiencies. 

KPMG helps to navigate the complexity of transformation by assessing business drivers, developing a cloud strategy using interoperable technology, and implementing sustainable enterprise-level transformation including change management and communication. Built on a secure, scalable architecture and industry graph data model, Intapp industry-specific cloud solutions enable the enterprise-level transformation of partner-led firm's most critical business operations. Intapp helps onboard new business with less risk, bolsters growth and deepens client relationships, maximizes profitability and client value, simplifies document management, and boosts firmwide team collaboration via Microsoft Teams. 

The alliance will deliver three key benefits to clients:

Trusted cloud transformation — This alliance fosters holistic cloud migration by combining Intapp industry-specific cloud solutions and KPMG’s technology, process, risk, regulatory, and security expertise. This alliance ensures that digital transformation encompasses all business operations and workflows, from the most critical to the often overlooked. 
2. Intelligent solutions for modern professionals — Through this alliance, partner-led firms and corporate legal departments will attain the modern workplace, centered on the professional, with tools that enhance the quality and effectiveness of day-to-day work. Technology and guidance will account for unique operating models, workflows, and regulatory requirements while fostering secure, seamless communication and collaboration across locations and platforms.
3. Continuous innovation — Intapp, KPMG and Microsoft will work closely together to continually advance both the technology and the business solutions and services required by partner-led firms and practitioners. While the journey to becoming a connected firm is often complex, this alliance will feature the ongoing innovation needed to break down silos and deliver connected experiences that ensure professionals have easy access to the information they need most.
