Business Wire
Upcoming ISG Provider Lens™ reports will
evaluate service providers enabling new enterprise capabilities
through Google Cloud Platform
Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a leading global
technology research and advisory firm, has launched a research
study evaluating service providers that help enterprises take full
advantage of Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
The study results will be published in a comprehensive series of
ISG Provider Lens™ reports, called Google Cloud Partner Ecosystem,
scheduled to be released in June. The geographically focused
reports will cover companies offering support for implementation
and integration, data analytics and machine learning, managed
services, SAP workloads and Google Workspace services.
Enterprise buyers will be able to use information from the
reports to evaluate their current vendor relationships, potential
new engagements and available offerings, while ISG advisors use the
information to recommend providers to the firm’s buy-side
clients.
Google Cloud’s technology capabilities and services have
advanced considerably in recent years, supporting complex big data
workloads and analytics-driven applications for leading
enterprises. The company has significantly advanced application
modernization by developing Kubernetes and development tools, as
well as assets in data analytics and ML.
“Many enterprises struggle to fully integrate and capitalize on
the Google Cloud suite of technology,” said Jan Erik Aase, partner
and global leader, ISG Provider Lens Research. “These enterprises
seek assistance from the Google Cloud community of global systems
integrators (GSIs), IT managed services and consulting providers
and ISVs.”
ISG has distributed surveys to more than 175 Google Cloud
service partners. Working in collaboration with ISG’s global
advisors, the research team will produce five quadrants
representing the Google Cloud services the typical enterprise is
buying, based on ISG’s experience working with its clients. The
five quadrants are:
- Implementation and Integration Services, evaluating GSIs
and IT providers offering migration, implementation, modernization
and integration services for data workloads and applications on
Google Cloud. These services include design, build and migration
services, developing cloud-native applications, support for hybrid
and multi-cloud deployments, data security and governance and
developing data science capabilities and ML tools.
- Data Analytics and Machine Learning, assessing providers
that showcase strongly differentiated capabilities in leveraging
big data technologies and ML, especially in bleeding-edge deep
learning algorithms and API libraries available and accessible
through Google Cloud. Solutions include use cases for computer
vision and conversational AI.
- Managed Services, covering providers of services that
augment the built-in capabilities of Google Cloud, including IaaS
and PaaS. These professional and managed services include
orchestration, provisioning, real-time and predictive analytics and
monitoring and managing public cloud and multi-cloud environments.
Providers typically use a high degree of automation to maximize
performance, reduce costs and ensure compliance and security.
- SAP Workloads, evaluating service providers that use
Google Cloud as a hardware replacement or extension for SAP
systems, combining their services with those of Google and SAP.
Providers must have strong relationships with Google Cloud and SAP
and demonstrate how they have helped clients run SAP and related
enterprise technology stacks across different workloads to leverage
the Google Cloud ecosystem.
- Workspace Services, assessing GSIs and IT providers
supporting clients’ adoption and use of Google Workspace, the suite
of Google productivity and collaboration tools including Gmail,
Meet, Chat and Drive. Leading providers offer training and change
management in addition to advisory, migration and integration
services.
Geographically focused reports from the study will cover the
global Google Cloud ecosystem and examine products and services
available in Asia Pacific, Brazil, Europe and the U.S. ISG analysts
Ashwin Gaidhani (Asia Pacific), Adriana Frantz (Brazil), Mark Purdy
(Europe) and Tapati Bandopadhyay (U.S.) will serve as authors of
the report.
A list of identified providers and vendors and further details
on the study are available in this digital brochure. Companies not
listed as Google Cloud partners can contact ISG and ask to be
included in the study.
All 2024 ISG Provider Lens™ evaluations feature expanded
customer experience (CX) data that measures actual enterprise
experience with specific provider services and solutions, based on
ISG’s continuous CX research. Enterprise customers wishing to share
