Google Cloud solutions for hosting, data analytics and AI, set up securely and sized to your workload.

## What it is
Google Cloud provides compute, storage, databases, analytics and AI services. It is often chosen for data-heavy and analytics workloads, containerised applications and teams that already use Google Workspace.

We help you structure projects and permissions, choose the right managed services and keep an eye on cost, so the platform supports your plans instead of adding complexity.

## What is included
- **Project and access structure**: A clear organisation of projects, roles and billing.
- **Networking and security**: Private networking, encryption and audit logging.
- **Application hosting**: Managed compute and containers for web and backend workloads.
- **Data and analytics**: Warehouses, pipelines and reporting built on managed services.
- **Monitoring**: Dashboards and alerts for health and spend.
- **Handover**: Documentation and training for your team.

## Outcomes
- **Strong fit for data work**: Analytics and machine learning tools are close to your data.
- **Managed services**: Less infrastructure for your team to look after.
- **Clear billing**: Projects make it easy to see what each system costs.

## Good fit if
- You work with large datasets or analytics.
- You use Google Workspace and want tighter integration.
- You run containers and want managed options.

## FAQ
**Is Google Cloud only for large companies?**
No. It can suit smaller teams, especially for managed hosting and analytics, with costs sized to use.

**Can you migrate us from another provider?**
Yes. A migration plan covers what moves, in what order and how to reduce downtime.

**How do we avoid being locked in?**
By favouring open standards and portable designs where it makes sense.
