Early adopters among U.S. enterprises take a
multi-cloud approach, tapping Google for smart data
handling, ISG Provider Lens™ report says
Leading U.S. enterprises are adopting Google Cloud Platform
(GCP) as part of multi-cloud strategies that take advantage of
GCP’s advanced data management, analytics and other features,
according to a new research report published today by Information
Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a leading global technology
research and advisory firm.
The 2022 ISG Provider Lens™ Google Cloud Partner Ecosystem
report for the U.S. finds Google is carving out a place for itself
alongside AWS and Microsoft Azure as companies set up cloud
infrastructure to modernize their IT capabilities.
“Enterprises with mature cloud strategies may eventually use all
three cloud platforms, each for its own strengths,” said Bernie
Hoecker, partner, enterprise cloud transformation at ISG. “These
early movers are setting the pace for the market, and they are
driving sophisticated cloud estates. The majority of these firms
reside in the U.S., which is currently the most advanced cloud
market.”
While many enterprises turn to AWS for large-scale computing and
storage capacity and to Azure for user-facing cloud services,
companies increasingly include GCP in their cloud environments to
meet the needs of advanced applications, ISG says. An example is
applications for autonomous vehicles, which require real-time,
data-intensive decision-making with high stakes for speed and
accuracy.
Even enterprises coming to the cloud later than others are
adopting multi-cloud approaches to leverage the benefits of more
than one platform, the report says. Two-cloud strategies are
emerging as a trend among a majority of companies. In all
multi-cloud implementations, Google’s sophisticated APIs enable
smooth integration with other cloud services.
GCP also stands out in terms of sustainability, an increasingly
important consideration for companies in the U.S. and other
regions, the report says. Google already achieves net-zero
emissions through carbon offsets and has pledged to be
carbon-neutral by 2030.
“Advanced operations like AI are the most resource-intensive
uses of the cloud,” said Jan Erik Aase, partner and global leader,
ISG Provider Lens Research. “That makes energy efficiency and
environmental factors even more critical, and Google recognizes
this.”
The report also explores trends around a wide range of other
services available from Google and its provider partners, including
implementation and integration, cloud-based SAP workloads and
workspace services.
The 2022 ISG Provider Lens™ Google Cloud Partner Ecosystem
report for the U.S. evaluates the capabilities of 30 providers
across five quadrants: Implementation and Integration Services,
Data Analytics and Machine Learning, Managed Services, SAP
Workloads and Workspace Services.
The report names Accenture, Capgemini, Infosys and TCS as
Leaders in all five quadrants. It names Cognizant, HCL and Wipro as
Leaders in four quadrants each. Deloitte is named as a Leader in
three quadrants, and Mindtree, Rackspace Technology and Tech
Mahindra are named as Leaders in two quadrants each.
In addition, Mindtree, Persistent Systems, Quantiphi and Tech
Mahindra are named as Rising Stars — companies with a “promising
portfolio” and “high future potential” by ISG’s definition — in two
quadrants each. Cognizant is named as a Rising Star in one
quadrant.
Customized versions of the report are available from Cognizant,
Rackspace Technology and Quantiphi.
