PIP WHITE: Hello everyone, and welcome
to the final week of Google Cloud EMEA's Next OnAir.
It's great to have you with us.
My name's Pip White.
I'm the Managing Director of Google Cloud in the UK
and Ireland, and I'm delighted to be your host today.
I joined Google Cloud in early September,
and so far I've been really impressed
with the high level of customer engagement, the impact
that our technology is having to help
our customers on their digital transformation journeys,
and just how much talent and passion
we have in our UK and Ireland team.
This week we're focusing on pathways
to modernize legacy applications and the tools that
can help you design, secure, analyze,
and scale APIs anywhere.
That's right, week 5 is all about
accelerating innovation by building agility
into your applications.
But agility means different things to different people.
For developers, be it technical or line of business,
it means being able to quickly create and expand
applications with uniformity and governance in any environment.
It also means leveraging the power of no-code
to automate workflows and connect applications.
For operators, it means easily managing and scaling
applications across multiple Cloud environments
while preventing the fragmentation of your API
and developer skill sets.
We shaped Google Cloud's Business Application platform
around both of those needs.
You can now take digital innovation beyond IT,
sharing data in real time to meeting
the needs of your business, partners, and customers.
And you can modernize legacy applications
by creating marketplaces that pair them
with other Cloud native applications
your developers already use.
Watch our solution keynote to learn how to power
your business with APIs AI, and no-code apps.
AMIT ZAVERY: As part of the strategy,
we will enable users with a consistent way of accessing
services, data, and functionality via APIs,
despite complex backends.
We'll empower developers to rapidly build
data driven applications with no-code,
simplify the complexity of integrating apps, extending
applications and automating business processes,
and arm users with the ability to extract insights
from data via simple yet powerful self-service business
intelligence tools.
PIP WHITE: Right now, innovation is top
of mind for decision makers.
Many of today's most iconic brands
were built in hard times, and this year
has been no different.
Cloud provides an opportunity to speed up application delivery
and reduce the costs associated with legacy IT.
But around 80% of IT leaders are disappointed
by the results of their current modernization projects.
That's a huge discrepancy between expectation
and reality.
For some, application modernization
is a story of trade-offs, between deployment speed
versus security, and tool selection
versus developer skill sets.
Knowing this, we've built industry-leading tools and best
practices to simplify the process of modernization,
increase deployment speeds, and automate your operations
across hybrid, multi-Cloud, and Edge environments.
To understand how, start this week
by watching our keynote on how to ship faster
and spend less by going multi-Cloud with Anthos.
EYAL MANOR: In fact, our application modernization
customers have been able to achieve more than 35%
cost saving by auto migrating, and more than 75%
through automation and re-platforming.
Not only that.
Customers have been able to innovate
eight times faster by using our serverless solutions.
PIP WHITE: Make sure to watch the full session
to learn more about our improved service-to-service network
and identity management controls,
Anthos for Bare Metal, and our recent announcement
about our new hybrid AI capabilities.
If you have questions about maintaining data security
and compliance standards in the Cloud, don't take it from us.
Listen to our interview with Dilek Duman,
the Chief Operating Officer at DenizBank,
to hear about their application modernization journey and plans
for the future.
DILEK DUMAN: Anthos was delivering on its promise
from the beginning.
And almost a year it is now, we are using Anthos,
and every day there are new functionality it's adding on.
Some of that is the technology, and some of that
is the Google Cloud partnered with us for shared success.
We got a lot of training and help from Google Turkey.
So that was really important.
PIP WHITE: Over half of IT leaders
say that APIs are vital to maintaining relationships
with developers and customers.
But only 28% of the same group have an API management strategy
in place.
Does this sound familiar?
If it does, there is a huge gap between the API management
infrastructure you have in place and what is needed
to effectively distribute, control, secure, monitor,
analyse, or monetise APIs.
If you want to unlock the transformational power of APIs,
no-code, and automation, you need
to make it accessible for business users, not just
technical developers.
The best place to start is our solution keynote,
pairing business applications with APIs, microservices, AI,
and no-code app development.
AMIT ZAVERY: API Gateway is fully managed
by Google Cloud, built with the latest technology of Android,
and with developers in mind.
Developers can use the API gateway to create, secure,
and monitor APIs from their Cloud Run, Cloud Functions, App
Engine, and other Google backends
PIP WHITE: Developers, join us for a study jam
to get hands-on experience orchestrating Kubernetes
clusters and discover how Kubernetes engine can get more
out of your delivery pipeline.
Register now for access to all our content on demand,
create a playlist, and start watching all of the keynotes
and breakout sessions.
You can book one to one appointments
with expert Googlers.
And then, use our event hashtag to keep the conversation going
on Twitter.
We've been really excited by your feedback so far
and hope you enjoy the final week of Next.
Thanks for joining us.
