Google Cloud Foundational Quickstart
Driving agility and security in today's fast-paced business world
Our Foundational Quickstart offering helps clients find fast value by using Google Cloud to build out new, secure, multi-account cloud environments based on best practices developed by Google and WWT. Lessons learned have been established by helping many enterprises transform their business via cloud migration.
*This service currently aligns security controls as outlined by NIST and CIS, where applicable. We expect to add compliance controls in the future as we expand this offering.
Challenge
Public cloud adoption is accelerating faster than ever. Successfully moving to the cloud is a long-term investment in time, planning, effort and adoption — and a transformation that requires new paradigms and tools. Organizations that embark on this journey must also be prepared to meet the technical and business challenges presented by regulatory requirements, legacy applications, latency and data sovereignty, among others.
Modern cloud deployments differ significantly from traditional data center modernization efforts. Cloud security models, coupled with automated deployments, now offer higher levels of protection from malicious actors as well as from unintentional configuration and user error.
Solution
WWT partners with Google Cloud to deliver speed, value and agility across cloud migrations. Organizations benefit from the best-of-breed solutions, global data centers, services and tools that have become a hallmark of Google Cloud's technical excellence.
By programmatically deploying a standardized Google Cloud infrastructure (i.e., Infrastructure as Code, or IaC), WWT aligns best practices with your specific organizational and security requirements. This creates a solid foundation on which to build cloud-based services and solutions that can help you achieve an incredible range of business and IT outcomes.
WWT's Quickstart focuses on setting up basic platform services around networking, security and related guardrails. As such, each deployment requires:
- Consistent deployment methodologies
- Consistent, minimal and proven data input from clients to gather minimum technical requirements
- Extensibility for future engagements, technologies and managed consumption opportunities

Google Cloud Governance
Cloud governance ensures required checks, controls and policies are in place for long-term security, manageability, cost minimization and performance. Key components to consider include: cost allocation and tracking; governance, security and compliance policies; resource structuring; monitoring and alerting; infrastructure automation and provisioning (via Google Cloud Deployment Manager and HashiCorp Terraform); and continuity and disaster recovery.
Google Cloud Contact Center AI (CCAI)
Organizations are increasingly seeking ways to create AI-infused contact centers to improve the customer experience and reduce costs via virtual assistants that collect caller info and provide faster support. While there are many reasons to implement AI in your contact center, the challenge is in choosing the right solution — one that helps both customers and live agents while seamlessly integrating with existing contact center technology.
