How our Google Cloud services work Five steps from the first review to a team that runs it

  1. Weeks 1 to 2AssessWe list your applications, their load, and what each costs today.
  2. Week 3Plan the landingWe design your projects, network, IAM, and security rules on Google Cloud.
  3. Waves of 4 to 8 weeksBuild and moveWe build or move a few applications at a time and test each one.
  4. After each waveTuneWe right-size what moved once real usage shows.
  5. OngoingRunWe watch, patch, and report, or hand it to your team.

When Google Cloud services are the right fit And when another cloud, or no move at all, serves you better

A good fit when

  • Your analysts need fast queries over large data, which BigQuery handles well
  • Your teams already work in Google Workspace
  • You want to run containers without managing servers

Look elsewhere when

  • Your company runs on Microsoft 365 and SQL Server: compare Azure first
  • Most of your systems already run on AWS
  • An application costs less where it runs today

Our Google Cloud Platform services in detail What each service covers, and what you have at the end of it

GCP consulting and strategy

We start with your applications and what they cost today, then price each one on Google Cloud. A reporting job that runs for an hour a night is priced very differently from a portal that's busy all day.

You end with a plan of what moves first, what changes on the way, and what stays where it is.

GCP application development

We build web apps and APIs on Cloud Run and Google Kubernetes Engine, with Cloud SQL or Firestore underneath. A service on Cloud Run scales to zero when nobody uses it, so you pay nothing for quiet hours.

GCP migration and integration

We move servers with Migrate to Virtual Machines, databases with Database Migration Service, and old warehouses to BigQuery. Each application runs beside the old one until the figures match.

We connect what moves to what stays, such as an on-premises ERP, through Apigee or Pub/Sub.

  • Every application placed in a wave
  • A rollback ready for each cutover
  • Figures checked against the old system

Google Workspace implementation

We move mail, calendars, and files from Exchange, Lotus Notes or another Workspace tenant, set up sign-in and security rules, and train people before the switch. Most teams move over a weekend, one department at a time.

Data analytics, AI, and document automation on Google Cloud

Once your data is in BigQuery, we build Looker dashboards for the decisions your teams make every week. Where it changes a decision, we add Vertex AI and Document AI, such as reading supplier invoices for a clerk to approve.

Google Cloud managed services, security, and disaster recovery

After launch, we can run it for you: Cloud Monitoring around the clock, monthly patching, and backups tested every quarter. For healthcare and other regulated work, we use Google Cloud's compliant services and keep data in the regions your rules require.

Every month we review the bill with you and buy committed-use discounts only for loads that run all day.

Questions about Google Cloud services What buyers ask us before they start

How can Google Cloud services benefit my business?

Google Cloud is strong at large-scale data, with BigQuery, and at running containers, with Cloud Run and GKE. You pay for what runs, so applications with quiet hours cost less, and your data stays in the regions you choose.

Does Google Cloud consulting include migration?

Yes. We price each application on Google Cloud, place it in a wave, move it, and run it beside the old one until users and figures confirm it works.

Are Google Cloud services suitable for startups?

They often are, because services like Cloud Run and Firestore cost little until usage grows. We keep a startup's setup small and add pieces only when the product needs them.

How much does it cost to work with a Google Cloud services provider?

There are two costs: your Google Cloud bill and our work. We estimate the bill for each application first, then quote a fixed price per wave or a monthly fee for running it.

Can I get ad hoc Google Cloud support?

Yes. Besides projects and managed services, we take on a block of hours for fixes, reviews, and small changes, billed as you use them.
