Pandera Continues to Fuel Google Cloud Partnership

At the start of 2022 Pandera made the strategic decision to further expand our capabilities, services, sales and marketing efforts to support the growth of our Google Cloud partnership. With Google Cloud reporting a Q1 revenue growth of 23% from previous year it confirms our decision to fully invest into the growth of the partnership as Google themselves continue to invest in products and services, and creating opportunities for partners and local communities across the globe.

 

As an organization we have increased our share of Google Cloud focused projects to 70% of our customer portfolio which is a 30% increase to prior year. In order to support the influx of these projects we have also increased the total number of Google Cloud / Looker certified employees by 50% since 2021.

As companies continue to invest in capitalizing on their data assets by modernizing their data and analytic platforms, we see Google Cloud as the leading Cloud innovator that is best positioned to help accelerate time to value while unlocking opportunities that were not possible or practical either on premise nor on other Cloud Data Platforms. 

 

Google Cloud’s Data Platform not only provides the elastic compute and storage that is critical to meet an organization’s ever changing needs across mixed workloads and concurrency, but it also supports structured, semi-structured and unstructured data integrated with all of the AI/ML tools needed to build truly smart analytic applications and actionable insights via Looker or other modern analytical platforms. 

 

Our passion is to help our customers understand the art of the possible, and to help them build smarter applications resulting in better business outcomes. From GCS to BigQuery to Looker to Vertex to the nearly 250 datasets available in the Google Cloud Marketplace, only Google provides the complete set of tools to innovate and activate on every data opportunity, and Pandera will continue to invest in being the premier partner guiding customers through their data modernization.

 

Kevin Curley – Pandera CEO 

Pandera successfully renewed its Google Cloud Data and Analytics Specialization in which recognizes our expertise and technical proficiency in leveraging the Google Cloud Platform to deliver Smart Analytic solutions. This achievement expands upon Pandera’s status as a leading provider of focused solutions for corporate and enterprise organizations.

 

Pandera also holds Google Cloud specializations for Infrastructure and  Machine Learning, as well as other expertise credentials such as: Looker BI Modernization, Looker Delivery Verified, Data Lake Modernization, Google Cloud Analytics, Disaster Recovery, Google Cloud Databases, Google Cloud ML & ML API’s and Document AI.

The specializations and expertise we’ve received from Google Cloud couldn’t be possible without our team members.  Everyday our teams are helping customers move their data & analytic workloads into GCP whilst also pushing their own skills to new heights.  In the last year alone we’ve increased GCP certifications by 50% and are on-track to double GCP certifications this year.

 

These certifications, specializations, and expertise are a testament from Google as to how healthy and professional our delivery teams are, as well as the results they bring to customers. We’ve carefully selected which specializations and expertise to attain so that customers can trust we are focused, determined, and relevant to Smart Analytic workloads.  Customers needing a strong consulting partner can rely on us, our team, and Google Cloud to be their Data & Analytic partner.

As we continue to accelerate our growth in North America, our Google Cloud partnership has now also been established in EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa). With an existing customer base in the UK, our sales and go-to-market efforts will include strategic efforts to increase our footprint for Pandera and establish ourselves as a leading provider of data and analytics modernization services for Google Cloud in EMEA.

Pandera continues to expand our North American footprint with continued focus on driving value for our customers and accelerating their digital transformations by leveraging the best of Google Cloud’s portfolio.  Our customers are utilizing Pandera to help them navigate the need to have a more complete view of their customers as supply chain, inflation, and Covid have fundamentally shifted the status quo of doing business.

 

In addition to expanded footprint in the US Pandera is focused on growing our Google business in the U.K. with local and focused sales and delivery representation.  2022 has already been a year of great growth for Pandera and Google continues to be an integral partner to that growth.

Data Modernization continues to evolve as a high priority for the enterprise. Organizations are unlocking new revenue value from their data as a part of digital business transformation. However, they find it complex to access, manage, distribute and analyze all their available data from various disparate systems. With traditional data warehouses and legacy BI solutions not being able to handle the variety, volume, and velocity of the data that the current day business systems generate, intelligent businesses must move towards intelligent data modernization.

 

To address the challenges and the demand to modernize, Pandera has introduced solutions such as our Data Strategy Assessment and Roadmap and Business Intelligence Modernization to help accelerate their modernization initiatives. Contact us to learn more about how Pandera can help with your modernization efforts with Google Cloud.
