Adani Group Partners Google Cloud
Mumbai, March 28: Billionnaire Gautam Adani led Adani Group on Monday said it has partnered with Google Cloud to power the next phase of innovation across India’s fastest-growing diversified business portfolio.
The strategic collaboration will tap each organization’s expertise across best-in-class infrastructure, technology, and industry solutions to modernize the Adani Group’s IT operations at scale, the company said in a statement issued here.
“The inevitability and pace of cloud adoption mandates that every business redefine its business model. This provides new challenges and new opportunities that will not only be transformational but will also require new forms of industry collaboration,” Adani said.
He further said that the association will help build a technology-driven organization which potentially opens up new business areas for Adani. According to the company, the first phase of the partnership is well underway, with the Adani Group making swift progress, migrating its extensive IT footprint from its existing on-premises data center and co location facilities to Google Cloud.
The company noted that moving Adani’s over 250 business-critical applications, such as its SAP HANA core, and peripheral systems to Google Cloud’s secure, reliable and high-speed cloud infrastructure, will centralize workflows, streamline operations, and enable business users to tap powerful new data capabilities for fast and accurate decision making.
Commenting on the development, Thomas Kurian, CEO, Google Cloud, said, “The Adani Group is paving the way towards a cloud-first future, and we’re thrilled to partner with the company on landmark projects that will support its innovation and future growth.” He further said that Adani’s SAP migration is one of the fastest we’ve seen at scale and is already delivering significant value across its business. “Our continued collaboration will spearhead new digital platforms that will have a transformative impact,” Kurian added.
