What does the ACA cloud team do on Google Cloud?
The team helps companies with every step on Google Cloud: strategy, architecture, migration, management and cost optimisation.
Some examples. TenderWolf cut its infrastructure costs in half after its migration. The team also runs platforms with millions of visitors, such as hln.be from DPG Media. Kadonation, Outspot and Optios run their platforms with ACA as well.
Why not just move to the cloud?
Moving an application to the cloud as it is rarely pays off. That is why the team uses every migration to modernise the application with containers, Kubernetes and serverless. Customers can then scale faster and pay only for what they use.
Does ACA use Google Cloud itself?
Yes, every day. Our software engineers work with Vertex AI. Our data teams use BigQuery and Looker. What we learn in our own work, we take to our customers.
We never sell a customer something we don't use ourselves. Our own teams build with Vertex AI, BigQuery and Looker every day, so when we advise a customer, we speak from experience. That TD SYNNEX sees that too makes the whole team proud.

What comes next?
We keep investing in the knowledge of our cloud specialists and in new ways to use AI on Google Cloud. Our customers get those new possibilities first.
