Google LLC has announced a hat-trick of customer wins to demonstrate the growing strength of its public cloud computing services.
Beverage company Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. announced it will be using the Google Cloud platform to host its “data footprint” as part of its digital transformation efforts. It further remarked Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. started working with Google on migrating its data and applications to the cloud in December 2019. The company said it will be moving all of its workloads to virtual machines running on the Google Cloud by the end of the year.
“The migration to Google Cloud has been seamless and was a key project in our merger integration and modernization efforts,” said John Gigerich, Keurig Dr Pepper’s senior vice president and chief information officer.
Google also announced an association with Indian information technology services giant Wipro Ltd. that has the vision of upgrading its core enterprise resource planning system to SAP SE’s S/4HANA and migrate those workloads to Google Cloud. The Indian IT giant said it will benefit from the “increased flexibility and scalability” provided by Google Cloud.
“As a provider of digital transformation services to some of the world’s most impactful businesses, it is critical that our own core systems and technologies are running on intelligent and modern platforms that encompass the needs of the future,” said Wipro President and Chief Operating Officer Bhanumurthy B.M. “This transformation program will help us to run our most business-critical workloads and applications with speed and agility, and support our customers more effectively.”
Google also announced a partnership with Orange SA., France’s biggest telecommunications firm, which covers data, artificial intelligence, and cloud computing. Orange remarked it is planning to build a next-generation data analytics and machine learning platform that will take advantage of the expertise of Google in cloud technologies, analytics, and artificial intelligence.
“Google has been a long-term partner of Orange and, as Google is eager to invest in Europe — and especially in France — to develop new data centres, this is the perfect time to work on new services and opportunities in French and European markets,” said Orange Chairman and Chief Executive Stephane Richard.
