Google Cloud and Forrester break down cloud migration and modernization benefits
Join us for a deep dive of the State of Public Cloud Migration to learn key findings and cloud migration successes achieved by global organizations in 2022.

With the acceleration of cloud migration planning and execution, many organizations have moved past the early stages to begin unlocking their IT and business benefits. These are achieved primarily during post-migration cloud adoption and optimization by truly modernizing their infrastructure with cloud.

Business leaders who accelerated their cloud migration earlier are now reaping those benefits. In its recent State Of Public Cloud Migration report, Forrester shared some key findings. This included insights on how IT decision-makers are amplifying their cloud benefits by:
Prioritizing essential factors while selecting their cloud vendor
Optimizing what’s already been migrated and migrating more advanced systems 
Opening new possibilities with cloud to discover transformative solutions and deliver new business value 
Join us in this webinar for an exciting chat between Forrester and Google Cloud experts and learn how to streamline your cloud migration journey in the new year.

The State Of Public Cloud Migration

In a challenging retail environment, accelerating innovation is vital to capturing customer loyalty, while optimizing revenue growth and cost reduction. In this webinar, ESG and experts from commercetools, Google Cloud, and MongoDB share effective approaches to how retailer DevOps teams can experiment and create innovative shopping experiences that differentiate a retailer from their competitors much faster.

How Retail DevOps Capture and Retain Customers with Data Analytics

Google Cloud is the innovation platform for connected, accessible and intelligent data & analytics in a multi-cloud environment. Powered by Google Ai & ML - enhancing SAP's capabilities. We are able to make sense of huge volumes of data, typically siloed within multiple disparate sources inside and outside the organization. Marketing and consumer data do not always connect to the enterprise data. By tying this data together and enriching it, we are able to improve insights and forecasts that help them meet market demands and disruptions more efficiently.

This is why Google and SAP, together, can unlock agility and business value together.

Implementing enterprise sustainability solutions with Google Cloud

The importance of data is a given in today’s digital-first landscape, but it remains a real challenge for organizations to access the full value of this resource. Many companies are producing more data than they can practically organize and analyze, while others are overwhelmed with disparate platforms and infrastructures. Without a centralized view, it is easy to fall prey to fragmentation and silos. With the right data cloud platform, however, organizations will be able to reduce operational complexity and take advantage of functionality like autoscaling and intelligent financial ops.

Increasingly, data is being used to enhance external focuses, like customer experience and the customer journey. Through the organization and analysis of customer data, companies unlock the ability to personalize their consumer engagements, leverage AI and also optimize operational efficiency — but only if they have a cloud partner that can scale with them and function across a distributed workload. With Google Cloud, customers can also leverage other integrated data products to extract as much value as possible, in an efficient and flexible way.

In this webinar from Google Cloud and ESG, industry experts will discuss what a truly optimized data strategy looks like, why companies are getting it wrong and how to realize that within your own organization. 

Tune in to hear more about:
— How business objectives are evolving as companies gain momentum with data
— Why data complexity doesn’t need to come at the expense of business agility
— How to leverage multiple managed services and vendors for maximized performance

The Sky's the Limit: Using Data Clouds to Unlock Data’s Full Potential

Access to data has become a prerequisite for multiple business teams, placing greater strain on database architectures. Legacy systems that rely on a single server or access point can become overwhelmed and end up creating damaging bottlenecks that hinder operational efficiency. While investing greater resources may work as a temporary fix, this is unlikely to work long term; organizations need to redesign their approach to database infrastructure and build a system that can keep up with modern demands.

Increasingly, this system involves taking a managed services approach; research from analyst firm ESG shows that nearly half of organizations are using that method to address operational management challenges in the cloud. It is critical that companies are not forced to compromise on performance or reliability and that their database is designed to scale alongside the rest of their operations. With managed services like DataStax on Google Cloud, real-time data can be a reality.
 
In this webinar from Datastax, Google Cloud and ESG, industry experts will spotlight the key issues plaguing traditional databases and discuss a new way to re-architect these infrastructures. 

Tune in to hear more about:
— The impact of data explosion on traditional data management
— Why a managed services approach is so well suited to database workloads
— How Datastax and Google Cloud are working together to fuel customer success, through real case studies

Real-Time All the Time: Redesigning Databases with DataStax & Google Cloud

In today’s cut-throat landscape, companies capable of extracting the most value from their data are the ones achieving a distinct competitive advantage. Traditional databases (and even current off-the-shelf options) aren’t going to be able to support that elevated performance that industry front-runners require.

In this webinar from MongoDB, Google Cloud and analyst firm ESG, industry experts break down the new requirements for successful database management and reveal why cloud-based database-as-a-service (DBaaS) is a performance game-changer.

Tune in to learn more about:
• The top challenges that are keeping businesses from optimizing their data
• How cloud-based DBaaS can transform current data initiatives
• Specific customer success stories of deploying MongoDB on Google Cloud
• And much more

Traditional databases vs. DBaaS: Performance showdown

Migrating to a multi-cloud environment has become a popular choice for enterprise organizations, enabling them to meet modern day demands and handle greater volumes of data. Yet these migrations can’t happen in a vacuum; digital transformation efforts must also address database management in order to maximize the value of a new multi-cloud infrastructure. Legacy databases require regular re-engineering and reconfiguring, which depletes resources while leaving room for human error. 

By contrast, a modern database solution can offer serverless, regionless, and infrastructure-less functionality — all in a scalable and elastic format. When operating in a multi-cloud environment, having a single database that aligns across each machine and region can be a gamechanger. Identifying the right database provider for the era of cloud-native distributed data will allow companies to ramp up quickly and deploy applications at scale, without any impact on performance.

In this webinar from Cockroach Labs, Google Cloud and ESG, industry experts will discuss the key drivers of database transformation and break down the most valuable components of a best-in-class database solution. 

Tune in to hear more about:
— How organizations are approaching the need for real-time data
— The tipping point between manually updating legacy databases and replacing them
— What a cloud-native distributed SQL database can fully offer
— Specific case studies around the Cockroach Labs x Google Cloud database solution

The Single Database Solution for Multi-Cloud Enterprise Data

Companies have taken giant strides in their digital transformation efforts, adding new cloud infrastructures and integrating more applications. Yet these more complex architectures have made security strategies more difficult to implement, especially as they continue to evolve. As a result, SecOps has become a high priority and many organizations are concluding that they should outsource their security needs to managed security service providers (MSSPs). Now, it is the MSSPs that are being overwhelmed with countless security alerts that require manual intervention, as their customers grow in number.

Partnering with an external security solution allows companies to better manage their own resources while benefiting from industry expertise. ESG research found that a majority of organizations are using or planning to use managed services in order to offload the burden of operational tasks and redirect their employees to more strategic security initiatives (55%). But if the MSSP is overburdened, this can weaken the quality of the service. In order to differentiate themselves in a competitive market, MSSPs need to look for their own partners who can reduce the reliance on manual malware triage and help them scale.

In this webinar from VMRay, ESG and Chronicle, industry experts will map out what truly modern, end-to-end SecOps looks like and explain how to close the window of malware vulnerability, including the VMRay and Chronicle SOAR solutions.

Tune in to hear more about:
— The current malware threat landscape and where SecOps may be falling short
— How alert fatigue is draining MSSP triage capabilities
— Why VMRay and Chronicle SOAR offer a key point of differentiation for MSSP & MDR providers
— And much more

Swimming in a Sea of Malware Alerts

The customer experience is more important than ever. With many customers basing their loyalty on the vendors providing the fastest service, businesses must adapt to the new supply chain landscape with frequent and unexpected fractures in the system. With the customer experience at the center, businesses are turning to technology - specifically data and analytics - to get ahead of the curve and be ready for whatever changes or challenges come their way. 

 

This webinar will be led by Mike Leone, Senior Analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group leading coverage of Data Platforms, Analytics, and AI at ESG and feature Paula Natoli, Director of Supply Chain & Logistics Industry Solutions at Google Cloud, and Manik Sharma, Head of Supply Chain and Digital Solutions at Palantir Technologies.
