Claranet has received the 2018 Google Cloud EMEA Breakthrough Partner of the Year award. This award was presented at the Partner Summit at Google Cloud Next’19 in San Francisco, and comes in recognition of Claranet’s expertise and success with Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

Claranet was recognised for the company’s achievements in the Google Cloud ecosystem, helping joint customers to take advantage of the transformational benefits of GCP, leverage Google Cloud’s advanced data toolsets and achieve competitive advantage. The award follows a year of heavy investment by Claranet in its GCP capabilities, in which it doubled its GCP-focused team, collected a raft of new GCP certifications, and developed more strategic ties with Google Cloud’s Tech, Media and Telco (TMT) team. As a result of these efforts, Claranet secured a spate of new business wins in 2018 and saw its Google Cloud-linked sales pipeline increase by 250%.
