Independent Google Cloud Advisory

Get more from
your Google Cloud
investment

Google Cloud is a deep, fast-moving ecosystem. Most organisations have a great Google account team and a capable delivery partner — but no dedicated in-house expert focused purely on getting the most from the investment. Cloudvise is that expert, sitting alongside you.

The Gap

A great ecosystem.
A missing seat at the table.

Mid-market GCP customers are typically well served by their Google account team and their delivery partner. What's often missing is a dedicated, in-house perspective whose only job is to make sure the customer gets the maximum value from the relationship.

☁️
Google

Focused on growth and adoption

Google's account teams are excellent at helping customers adopt the platform and scale on it. Their natural focus is on growth across a broad customer base — so it helps to have someone in-house who knows which programmes, credits and commercial levers to ask for, and when.

🔧
Your GCP Partner

Focused on delivery and build

Delivery partners bring real depth in implementation and engineering. Their day job is shipping work — not stepping back to map your full roadmap against Google's native catalogue or to manage the wider commercial relationship. Cloudvise complements your partner by covering that adjacent ground.

An in-house GCP expert, on retainer

Cloudvise brings deep working knowledge of the GCP ecosystem — programmes, pricing mechanics, the product catalogue, and how account teams and partners operate — and applies it exclusively for you. No consumption targets, no services revenue, no referral fees. Just one focused retainer working in your interests.

What We Do

More than advisory.
Active and ongoing.

Every month we do four specific things on your behalf — not just a call and a follow-up email. Real work, visible outcomes, and a monthly report showing exactly what was delivered.

🗺️

GCP Roadmap Alignment

Each month we map your development roadmap against what Google Cloud already offers — surfacing native tools, services, and AI capabilities that could save your team weeks of build time. A common pattern: capabilities being built in-house that already exist in the platform.

📡

Ecosystem Intelligence Briefing

A short written briefing each month covering the GCP developments most relevant to your specific situation — product changes, programme openings, pricing shifts. Filtered for you, not broadcast to everyone. Two to three things that actually matter to your roadmap and your spend.

🤝

Google Relationship Management

We help you build and maintain a strong working relationship with your Google account team — identifying the right contacts, opening direct lines of engagement, and making sure your business is visible and well understood within the ecosystem.

🔍

Independent Commercial Oversight

Every month we take one specific commercial action on your behalf — reviewing a proposal, exploring a credit or programme opportunity, sense-checking pricing, or benchmarking ahead of a renewal. One concrete output a month, not just advice.

📊

Monthly Value Report

Sent on the last working day of every month. One page covering what happened, what's coming, open items, and one specific value highlight — a saving identified, access unlocked, or build time saved. The document that answers the CFO's question before it gets asked.

Client Outcomes

What clients typically
find in the first 90 days

The opportunities below are common across GCP customers. They tend to sit just outside the day-to-day focus of either an account team or a delivery partner — which is exactly where a dedicated in-house perspective adds value.

🗺️
3–5
Native GCP capabilities surfaced
Mid-market engineering teams often build capabilities that Google Cloud already offers natively. Each one surfaced can represent weeks of development time saved and engineering cost avoided.
💰
£40k+
Renewal value identified
Uncommitted workloads, benchmark pricing gaps, and CUD coverage gaps are common in GCP contracts. Identified early, they become useful inputs to a constructive renewal conversation with Google.
🤝
Direct
Google relationship strengthened
Many clients have limited direct contact with their Google account team. Within the first 90 days, a strong direct working relationship is typically established alongside the existing partner relationship.
🔍
£20k+
Credits and programmes accessed
Google offers credits, professional services funding, and programme access at qualifying spend levels. Many of these go unclaimed simply because no one is dedicated to tracking and applying for them.
📋
Second opinion
Independent commercial view
A second, in-house perspective on proposals, scopes, and commercial decisions — complementing your partner's recommendations and giving internal stakeholders extra confidence.
📊
Monthly
Visible value reporting
Every stakeholder — including those who never attend an advisory session — sees exactly what the engagement is delivering. By month six the cumulative value report makes renewal conversations straightforward.
All figures are indicative based on typical GCP engagements. Actual outcomes depend on the client's specific situation, contract position, and Google relationship status. Cloudvise sells expertise and effort — not guaranteed outcomes.
Pricing

One retainer.
Everything included.

No tiers. No upselling. One monthly retainer that covers everything described above. Pricing is transparent and the scope is clearly defined from day one.

Who It's For

Serious about GCP.
Ready for a dedicated advisor.

Cloudvise works best with organisations that have meaningful GCP investment but no dedicated internal cloud commercial function — sitting alongside your existing Google account team and delivery partner rather than replacing them.

Scale-ups & Digital Natives

Growing fast on GCP, engineering-led, spending real money — and ready to add a dedicated commercial perspective alongside the engineering and delivery focus.

🛍️

Ecommerce & Retail

Increasing GCP investment in data and AI, working with a capable delivery partner, and looking for an in-house expert to keep the wider ecosystem and roadmap in view.

💳

Fintech & Insurtech

Cloud-native by design, high GCP adoption, fast growth — and ready to bring vendor management up to the same maturity as the product roadmap.

🏥

Healthtech & Edtech

Strong AI and data workloads on GCP, significant Vertex AI investment — and an opportunity to make sure relevant credits, programmes and Google specialist access are all being used.

Why Independence Matters

A dedicated client-side seat
in your GCP ecosystem

Your Google account team and your delivery partner each play important roles. Cloudvise sits alongside them as a dedicated client-side advisor, focused purely on getting the most from your investment.

🎯

Paid only by you

No revenue share with Google. No referral fees from partners. No consumption targets. Your retainer is our only commercial relationship — which means the advice is genuinely unbiased.

🔍

Ecosystem knowledge, client-side application

Deep working knowledge of how the GCP ecosystem operates — Google's programmes, partner models, product catalogue and commercial mechanics — applied exclusively for you.

⚖️

Written conflict of interest policy

No commercial arrangements with Google. No referral fees from any GCP partner. Shared with every client at onboarding — a written commitment, not just a promise.

📊

Value is always visible

Monthly value reports mean every stakeholder sees exactly what the engagement delivers. No guessing, no faith required. The value is documented every single month.
