"We run our business entirely on software, so having developer-friendly SDKs and APIs that make technical sense was a big draw for us. Besides, we had no doubts that we’d be able to scale as a business on Google Cloud."
"Combining self-service touch screens with dynamic menu boards, the Commercial Chrome OS technology is already providing a huge return on investment. We're seeing a noticeable increase in brand awareness and a large boost in customer spend."
“With time, our on-premises infrastructure simply became too complex to handle. We also need to meet strict compliance standards, such as GDPR, which became increasingly difficult. We wanted to reduce complexity and simplify development, without compromising on security, which led us to Google Cloud.”
“Realistically a cloud product like GCP is the only way we can grow from an Australian-based company to a global company. By the end of 2018, we are looking to expand into Europe as well as Singapore, Canada and other countries. If we had the burden of looking to set up our own infrastructure, it simply wouldn’t be feasible.”
“Technology is a strong differentiator when it comes to gaining customers or increasing traffic. The more agile and accurate we are with our solution, the more we are ahead of our competition. With GCP and Cirruseo, we’ve created the perfect team for adaptable innovation across an international company.”
“Our main priority is to shut down our on-premises infrastructure and take advantage of the benefits of the cloud. Google Cloud Platform and SAP HANA will help us reduce our maintenance costs and improve our flexibility. I think we will spend less time continually upgrading our infrastructure and more time improving our productivity.”
“Because we can run faster and deeper analytics using GCP, we can now obtain more insightful results for our customers. GCP has provided considerable value to our business – we’re very happy with its capabilities and how we are using the platform now."
“The support of the Google team in Milan has been amazing so far. It’s much closer than a simple supplier-customer relationship. We’re definitely building best practices here.”
“The system we had was purpose-built for bikesharing in one city. What we're building now is a platform for sharing many things in many cities at once. Google Cloud Platform lets us scale to do that on a whole new level.”
“One of the key figures that really led us to GCP was that it makes it easier for us to keep the team small and nimble in the first few years. Looking at the roadmap we had, on Google we saw that we could get away with ten to twelve people. And then more than double that number on the other platforms. That's a pretty big difference for a startup!”
“Our error rates are down and stability is up because we don’t have any unique servers any more. No stickies on servers – all that stuff is gone. With Google Cloud Platform everything is much more reproducible and predictable.”
“To begin with, we knew that Google Cloud Platform was half the price of other cloud platform providers, but the savings we make with Google Cloud Platform have continued with improvements to the platform. Preemptible VMs are one example. Another is the Nearline backup capability on Google Cloud Storage. We don't want to lose or delete data, because our machine learning capabilities use historical data to make predictions, but after a few months, we don't touch historical data on a big scale. Now we can just define Google Cloud Storage backups to be moved to Nearline after 3 months, and it’s done automatically. That saves us a lot of money.”
“Google’s cloud infrastructure levels the playing field and lets us offer clients the agility and creativity we’re known for along with the technology resources typically found at much bigger studios.”
“Google Cloud Platform and, specifically, Google App Engine is always our first choice for a platform. In comparison with other solutions, we find it quicker to roll out and we see fewer issues along the way.”
“Choosing Google Cloud Platform has reduced our infrastructure costs by 90 percent and some of our processes have become ten times faster. Ten times faster and ten times cheaper, so one hundred times better for us! And if we consider that we work now with much bigger data than three years ago, before the switch, we’d be getting an even better deal for the same amount of data.”
