Choosing a Google Cloud Consultancy: What Good Looks Like in 2026

Google Cloud reported $24.8bn revenue in Q2 2026, up 82%, with 15% global share and 40% of the FTSE 100 as customers. A real engagement moves through four stages: assessment (Migration Center, TCO, RaMP funding), a Terraform landing zone with UK residency controls, wave-based migration with BigQuery and AlloyDB, then AI on the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform. The article covers the FinOps traps (BigQuery on-demand scans, Cloud Logging, egress, uncommitted fleets), what europe-west2 data residency does and does not cover, how to read the new Partner Network tiers and Competencies, and seven questions to ask a consultancy before signing.
