HCLTech is planning to expand its existing partnership with Google Cloud to offer more enterprise cloud migration services and the company will train 18,000 professionals on Google Cloud under this initiative.

HCLTech, a strategic partner of Google Cloud, formed the dedicated Google Cloud Ecosystem Unit in 2019. The partnership will now include two new offerings to help enterprise customers migrate to Google Cloud. The new Google Cloud Global Migration and Modernization Factory–within HCLTech Google Cloud Ecosystem Unit–will combine experts, IP, migration frameworks and automation tools to help businesses bring critical workloads into Google Cloud, with cybersecurity and regulatory compliance.

In addition, a new, dedicated HCLTech Cloud Acceleration Team will speed customers’ time-to-value with Google Cloud products and solutions.
HCLTech will train up to 18,000 technology and consulting professionals on Google Cloud.

C Vijayakumar, CEO and managing director, HCLTech says, “The majority of enterprises today are investing aggressively in cloud technology to build responsive, scalable and resilient digital-first business models. Our collaboration with Google Cloud has helped us address this market with compelling joint propositions.”

The partnership has already supported digital transformations at a number of organizations. With the expanded Google Cloud Ecosystem Unit, HCLTech will deliver new, domain-led services using CloudSMART–a portfolio of industry-focused offerings for Google and Cloud Native Labs.

Thomas Kurian, CEO, Google Cloud says, “This announcement represents a significant commitment from both Google Cloud and HCLTech to provide enterprises with the services, industry expertise and technologies they need to accelerate their cloud agendas and to create business value from Google Cloud’s capabilities in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and analytics.”
