MINNEAPOLIS, June 13, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Agosto Inc., a cloud services and development company and tier 1 Google Cloud Premier Partner, is continuing to bet on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) as the best option for its enterprise customers. Rick Erickson, co-founder of Agosto and a subject matter expert on enterprise cloud adoption, has been named “Chief Cloud Strategist”—a reflection on his deep knowledge of the cloud provider ecosystem, and GCP in particular.
“We are excited to see the enterprise market continue to embrace cloud technologies and turn to us for help leveraging Google Cloud,” said Agosto President Aric Bandy. “Rick’s expertise has been instrumental to Agosto becoming a leading cloud aggregator and top Google Cloud provider.”
A LogicMonitor survey published in Forbes magazine predicts that 83% of enterprise workloads will be in the cloud by 2020, and that 41% of these will be run on public cloud platforms. Agosto’s growth mirrors this prediction: the company has increased revenues at a rate of almost 40 percent year over year since 2011, opened two new locations—in Chicago, Ill. and Mountain View, Calif.—and added more than 125 new enterprise customers to its roster in 2017.
Agosto helps companies innovate on Google Cloud to grow their businesses, reduce costs, and gain higher performance and agility. The company’s GCP practice has carefully curated technical teams that help clients leverage IoT, Machine Learning/AI, Data Analytics, Infrastructure and Collaboration. Agosto recently earned the Infrastructure Partner Specialization in the Google Cloud Partner Program. Companies that attain this designation have proven success in helping customers architect and build their Google Cloud Platform (GCP) infrastructure and workflows, and migrate to GCP.
