Google Cloud as innovation enabler
Revolutionary innovations are technology driven. However, most leading firms are suffering from an IT legacy that can be a serious burden to their innovation process. Various innovation enablers exist that can transform your pace of innovation to be swift yet secure. Public Cloud, Big Data, and AI technologies offer innovation opportunities for firms ready to make a transition.
Cloud technology increases the pace of organizations in various ways; for example by creating a low-risk zone where experimenting is easy, by having a scalable and cost-efficient model, and by playing a role in IT talent management and by the analytical tools it offers.
A low-risk zone where experimenting is easy
Being a flexible, scalable environment that facilitates experimenting, innovation is at the essence of Google Cloud success. By enabling pre-built services that can be used with minimal workloads and in parallel to existing business processes, Google Cloud removes all barriers that are holding back traditional firms from experimenting.
Innovation isn’t just about technology. It is also about having the safety to experiment. Wouldn’t it be easier to drive a race car at its maximum speed if the brakes were working properly? Google Cloud offers best-in-class security as standard because protecting our users’ data is at the heart of our business. Google Cloud reduces the thresholds and risks of trying out new things to almost nothing.
Pay-as-you-go
Secondly, a cloud network offers business agility at a lower cost than on-premise deployment because of the pay-as-you-go subscription model offered by Google Cloud. There are no large upfront payments because building in-house hardware and data center capabilities is a concept of the past. Dealing with the peaks and lows of processing requirements at a flexible rate reduces discussions around budgets necessary for experimenting, increasing your eagerness to try out new things.
Talent Management
Solving technological challenges isn’t usually the core of your business. However, the effort to support in-house software is a serious burden to growth, as a significant share of resources is used to keep pace with competition, let alone be one step ahead. In addition, internally built systems and heavily customized vendor technology often rely on IT staff with a deep understanding of the system architecture and technology environment, bringing a huge key person risk. By moving to the cloud, IT and business teams can instead focus their efforts on building new products and tools to support current and future client requirements.
In addition, Google Cloud software allows talent to work with the most modern technologies, and to work in the most modern, open and collaborative environment. If organizations are aiming to retain top tech talent and display a competitive advantage to their peers, they need to appeal to talent by embracing the most modern ways of working and the most modern technology to work with. Google Cloud technology appeals to next generation’s working environment expectations such as a more open collaborative environment and technology that easily allows for remote working. A new generation of talent brings a new generation of products.
Next generation analytical tools
Google Cloud not only offers the ability to store your data, it can also help to gain insights using a complete suite of analytics and machine learning tools. Google Cloud offers an integrated and serverless data analytics platform for workloads of any size or complexity, providing benefits quicker than solely building capabilities and expertise on premise. Many clients use data analytics tools to query client data, including unstructured information such as chat logs and terms and conditions documents.
In conclusion, Google Cloud helps to bring information, insights, and ideas together clearly defining its role as a platform for innovation. Google Cloud is here to support C-Suite executives’ search for ways to keep operations lean and to gain a competitive advantage by becoming smarter about new technologies such as cloud, APIs, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence.
