Why Get Google Cloud Certified?
Google Cloud Platform is one of the top three global cloud providers and with the growth of a hybrid approach to cloud service providers, GCP is certain to remain in the mix of solutions used by companies across the globe. The shortage of cloud computing-related skills across the world is even more acute with respect to GCP; resulting in lucrative opportunities for those with the required skills and experience. Google Cloud Platform provides a plethora of services that can be leveraged in a myriad of IT careers from scalable infrastructure to artificial intelligence and machine learning and data science. Get GCP certified and turbo-boost your career.
Google GSuite and Google Chrome Enterprise
GCP is built for the hybrid cloud allowing easy integration with other cloud providers and on-premises solutions that don't lock you into a single provider. But two of Google's most compelling services are G Suite and Google Chrome Enterprise. These are compelling solutions for businesses small or large with the shift to remote work and accessible-from-anywhere services. Take advantage of the huge opportunities that exist to migrate customers to GSuite and Google Chrome enterprise by getting GSuite and Google Chrome Enterprise certified.
