  • The Google Cloud Consulting portfolio will initially feature more than a dozen professional services, according to the Alphabet Inc. division.
  • Optimizing current cloud environments is the subject of a second group of Google Cloud Consulting services.

The professional service products of Google LLC’s cloud division are being reorganized into a new, centralized portfolio dubbed Google Cloud Consulting.

It follows a year in which Google Cloud increased its financial commitments to expand its professional services business significantly. With the help of the firm’s services, companies may more easily adopt Google Cloud products, train staff members to use them, and create new apps.

Lee Moore, Vice President of Google Cloud Consulting, reported, “The Google Cloud Consulting portfolio provides unified services capability, bringing together offerings, across multiple specializations, into a single place. This includes services from learning to technical account management to professional services and customer success.”

According to the company, the introduction of the Google Cloud Consulting portfolio has two primary objectives.

Its first goal is to make it simpler for businesses to hire experts from the search engine giant. The company claims that customers will have access to a thorough explanation of each service in Google’s catalog and illustrations of how to utilize it. The objective is to streamline the procurement procedure for business customers.

According to the search engine titan, Google Cloud Consulting will make it simpler for partners to collaborate with its professional service teams. Google has a vast ecosystem of associates dedicated to providing consulting services to its clients. A business launching a complex cloud initiative could hire both Google and a third-party consulting firm to assist.

According to the Alphabet Inc. division, the Google Cloud Consulting portfolio will initially feature more than a dozen professional services. The products fall under various categories.

Some services are designed to make it easier for businesses to implement Google Cloud products. The process of implementing Google Workspace is made more accessible by one such service. Another is made to make it simpler to transfer on-site corporate records to BigQuery, the search engine giant’s cloud-based data repository.

Optimizing current cloud environments is the subject of a second group of Google Cloud Consulting services. For instance, company employees can work with an organization to determine whether its cloud environment has weak security settings.

Training options are also part of the Google Cloud Consulting portfolio. It can give administrators at a company the know-how to set up and control Google Cloud environments. More specialized topics are also covered in the training programs, such as how to create applications for artificial intelligence using the Vertex AI toolkit.

Moore stated, “As we look forward to 2023, we’ll continue to expand the service catalog and focus on making it even easier to find and transact these services and further streamline the experience of engaging with our services.”
