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.

Tailored Strategies for Every Phase of Your Google Cloud Journey

We offer years of proven consulting and strategy services in the following key areas to ensure you get the most out of your Google Cloud investments.

Let's talk

We begin with an understanding of your business needs and IT environment. Our experts conduct a detailed analysis of your existing landscape, evaluate your cloud readiness and develop a functional cloud strategy. This includes a transparent TCO and ROI analysis, an assessment of your existing architecture and guidance on databases and operations on Google Cloud.

A successful migration requires careful planning and execution. We develop detailed migration plans - whether lift & shift, re-platforming or re-factoring - and support you during implementation. Our focus is on minimizing risks and downtime and ensuring that your workloads run optimally on Google Cloud after the migration.

Security and compliance are our top priorities. We advise you on developing a comprehensive security strategy for your Google Cloud environment that includes identity and access management (IAM), network security, data protection (GDPR compliance) and threat detection. We help you establish robust governance models and ensure your environment is secure and compliant with Google Cloud and industry standards. Regular audits and security reviews are part of our approach.

Google Cloud offers much more than just infrastructure. We provide strategic advice on how you can use advanced services in areas such as data analytics (e.g. BigQuery, Looker), artificial intelligence (Vertex AI, Gemini), application modernization (GKE, Cloud Run) and hybrid/multi-cloud scenarios (Anthos) to drive innovation and open up new business models.

Efficient and secure cloud operation is crucial for long-term success. We advise you on the design of an optimal operating model for your Google Cloud environment. This includes the planning of automation measures, monitoring & alerting, backup & disaster recovery and incident management. This strategic planning can be seamlessly integrated into our comprehensive Managed Cloud Operations.

Controlling and optimizing your cloud costs is a continuous process. We support you in the implementation of FinOps principles and strategies for Google Cloud cost optimization. This includes regular cost reviews, optimizing resource usage and selecting the right Google Cloud pricing models to ensure full transparency and efficiency.

Whether you are at the beginning of your Cloud Journey, planning a complex migration, rethinking your security strategy or wanting to optimize and expand your existing Google Cloud environment – PCG offers you the strategic consulting you need.
