As a leading international provider of application modernization solutions, Advanced is catalyzing rapid acceleration of mainframe migrations for Fortune 1000 companies globally. Partnering with Google Cloud,
Advanced is driving innovation, increasing agility, and reducing
operational costs for customers by shifting workloads to Google Cloud.
Against
its 35+ year commitment to IT and mainframe modernization, Advanced's
robust portfolio of services and turnkey solutions have supported many
of the largest and most complex global migration projects across
industries such as government, healthcare, insurance, financial

"Companies
are rapidly moving to DevOps and the cloud, consolidating their
technology stacks to maximize IT performance, and adopting
cloud-compatible languages - and as such - are choosing to harness
cutting-edge solutions from Google Cloud to support their efforts," said
Cameron Jenkins, Executive Vice President of Application Modernization
at Advanced. "By partnering with Google Cloud, we have combined
extensive engineering capabilities with advanced mainframe modernization
expertise to create an offering that takes customers from legacy
languages and databases to cloud-optimized environments in a fraction of
the time, overall expenditures, and potential risks associated than the
market has ever seen before. And by modernizing these systems, we have
given companies a way to effectively accelerate the development of
custom applications, harness smarter decision-making through machine
learning and advanced analytics capabilities, and save crucial time,
money, and resources."
