In a shift aimed at unlocking new levels of innovation, streamlining operations and setting the foundation for future technology-driven growth, Northeast Grocery Inc. has launched a collaboration with Google Cloud to migrate its IT infrastructure and applications from traditional data centers to the cloud.
With the collaboration, NGI will gain access to the advantages of a cloud-native architecture, including enhanced scalability, disaster recovery and cost efficiency. It also can efficiently scale resources in response to peak demands, such as during holiday seasons or promotional events.
The migration also supports a robust disaster recovery plan, allowing NGI to safeguard data and applications and minimize downtime risks. In addition, the company can expect reduced IT costs through optimized resource management, a key benefit of cloud-based architecture that eliminates the need for extensive on-site data centers and related expenses.
“This collaboration with Google Cloud empowers us to modernize our core systems, providing the flexibility and scalability needed to meet evolving customer expectations,” said Larry Peters, VP of cloud and business intelligence at Northeast Shared Services.
“Google Cloud’s secure cloud environment and advanced tools enable us to drive cost efficiencies, streamline our processes, and focus on delivering exceptional service across our stores.”
