[ITmedia エンタープライズ] 「万年3位」から脱却なるか？ Google Cloudに吹く"追い風"の正体を考察
Google Cloud is experiencing a positive shift in the enterprise market as major domestic system integrators (SIs) in Japan are moving towards collaboration with the company. This development comes in the wake of Google Cloud's previous struggles to compete with industry giants like AWS and Microsoft. The partnerships are being forged to leverage Google Cloud's capabilities, particularly in artificial intelligence, which is seen as a strategic advantage in enhancing service offerings. The collaboration aims to integrate AI agents into various business solutions, reflecting a growing recognition of Google Cloud's potential in the market. As these SIs align with Google Cloud, the company is poised to strengthen its position and expand its influence in the enterprise sector.
