Secure, efficient and future-oriented

Mastering the Complexity of Cloud Migration

Migrating your IT systems to the Google Cloud presents a multi-layered challenge: In addition to the technical migration of your applications and data, you also have to master interdependencies, regulatory requirements, cost considerations and organizational changes – a comprehensive process that requires careful handling.

As the specialized partner, we navigate you through this transition program – from the initial assessment of your existing system landscape to the optimized and efficient operation in the cloud. We ensure seamless, risk-minimized decisions at every step to enable your business transformation.

Google Cloud Migration Journey of PCG

We at PCG understand that successful migrations and modernizations have a “flywheel effect”, where the insights and experiences gained accelerate subsequent steps.

That’s why our approach is guided by the five recommended technical steps of Google Cloud, combined with our expertise and best practices since 2008.

Let's talk

We help you obtain an early estimate of the costs for operating your environment in Google Cloud, without needing detailed inventory data. Together, we quantify the business case and align goals with all stakeholders.

In this phase, we collect or import your existing asset lists, organize these, and gain a clear picture of your current state. The goal is to understand your existing infrastructure and dependencies.

Based on the Discovery phase, we define your business and technical preferences. We leverage Google Cloud recommendations and our expertise to define your optimal target state in the cloud and assess the technical fit for Google Cloud services.

In this crucial phase, we lay the cloud foundation, define specific migration waves, and create a detailed migration plan. The planning considers what, when, and in which sequence migrations should occur.

We define the steps before and after the migration, execute the migration with the appropriate tools, and validate success through testing and verification to ensure a secure outcome.

Customer Stories & Testimonials

95% Runtime Improvement for Complex Data Analysis Calculations.

Sustainable fashion retailer hessnatur migrated its on-premise online store and web applications to Google Cloud to overcome issues with costly updates and scalability. With support, the company successfully replaced its platform and implemented a modern CI/CD pipeline using services like GKE and Cloud Storage, allowing for easy “one-click deployments” and quick changes. Furthermore, storing data in BigQuery drastically improved Business Intelligence (BI), reducing the runtime for complex data analysis calculations from eight hours to just 24 minutes.

15% Lower Online Store Operation Costs and More Time for Innovative Ideas.

With the support of PCG, Bergfreunde has migrated their web store from on-premise to Google Cloud, and can now concentrate fully on the further development of its services thanks to PCG’s management of the infrastructure. By operating the web store in the cloud, the company also benefits from greater reliability, flexibility and lower operating costs of around 15%. “One of the biggest advantages of migrating our web store to the Google Cloud is the ability to try things out without any lead time.”

Next Level Data Unification with Google Cloud and PCG.

Fashion and lifestyle company Breuninger modernized its IT infrastructure by choosing Google Cloud to unify its complex, scattered data landscape. They now use fully managed services like BigQuery and Google Kubernetes Engine to integrate on-premises and SAP data, enabling real-time analytics. This allows them to make faster, more informed decisions across the business, notably improving purchasing forecasts and the online customer experience. “In the past, we had to write new code for each new request. Now, with Google Cloud’s configurable components and Google Kubernetes Engine’s managed services, we have standardised solutions that allow us to track the data we need to run our business much faster.”

Full Focus on Development with PCG Managed Cloud Operations

Finstreet, a solutions provider for financial services, needed to deploy its new “DialogOnline” software in Google Cloud on a shared infrastructure while upholding strict security standards. Lacking the internal capacity for infrastructure maintenance and patching, they sought external expertise. In collaboration with PCG, the solution involved establishing a deployment process and developing a secure architecture using Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) and Anthos Service Mesh (ASM). This partnership allowed Finstreet to fully concentrate on application development, as the experts of PCG now manage the entire operation of the underlying infrastructure and software components.
