As it is with small and medium sized companies, they often times have a limited budget and small teams must make sure to run the IT as cost-effective as possible.
Google Cloud Platform that offers a highly powerful IT infrastructure with resources that you can affordably use on-demand. By using GCP you can rightsize the resources let them grow together with your business. On top of that you get access to cutting-edge technology such as highly trained machine learning models and more.
Google Cloud Platform offers highly powerful IT resources that are available to you whenever you need them. Whether it is raw computing power, storage or an automatically scaling backend for an application, with GCP you get access Google-scale resources for an affordable price that scale as your business grows.

With Google Cloud Platform you not only get highly scalable and affordable storing options but also services to analyze your data, even in real-time if your business required a fast response time. Having these tools at hand can give a huge edge over your competitiors as you can work with the most recent data and analyze it with unmatched computing speed at Google scale.
Google Cloud Platform comes with a lot of affordable services that usually small and medium sized companies hardly have access to, such as highly capable machine learning models that are trained with Google's huge data sets making them one of a kind, yet affordable to anyone and easy to to use. If you're using GCP you have access to all kinds of AI and ML models, including visual detection, speech-to-text and vice versa, text analysis ML models and many more. You can even easily create and tailor your own models and train them. Using these machine learning models, can improve and accelerate your business.
IoT technology can be found across many industries reaching from smart cities, consumer goods, factory machines and more. Below you can find some common use case examples on how IoT technology can be used accelerate businesses.
IoT is globally revolutionising logistics in areas such as supply chain monitoring, vehicle tracking, inventory management, safe transportation and cargo integrity monitoring to ensure high-level goals such as just-in-time delivery, supply chain visibility and product lifecycle transparency.
Smart cities collect data from IoT devices such as lights, sensors and meters, analyze it and use these insights to improve infrastructure, thus providing a higher quality lifestyles for their residents. The appliance of IoT technology ranges from smart buildings using data from elevators to reduce waiting time to smart grids to improve resource conservation.
Modern security systems can collect video footage from security cameras on a centralized platform to analyze it and improve security measurements. This can be combined with machine learning to carry out pattern recognizion and motion detection.
IoT is being used in the healthcare industry to monitor patients data remotely through IoT capable devices, thus maximizing the efficiency at which hospitals can operate as well as preventing health risks through early detection. Use cases range from doctors that can monitor dementia sufferers in their own home to connected insulin injectors that help manage blood sugar levels.
Manufacturing is one of the biggest industries that actively utilizes IoT technology. By gathering huge amounts of processing data from connected devices and machines such as precise voltage usage, manufacturing process can be optimized to increase productivity and cut down on costs.
The smart home market is exploding in the recent years with a rapidly increasing number of smart home devices that can be connected and used remotely. From smart refrigerators to smart cleaning bots and smart home security systems, almost everything can be connected and generates data that can be used.

Cloud Ace has experience helping companies to migrate to Google Cloud Platform and develop systems and applications right on the cloud. In fact our expertise was recognised by Google in 2019 and we won the Google Cloud Application Development Partner of the Year award.
We have a lot of experience working together with global enterprises in Asia as well as local customers in Singapore and other locations including, Indonesia, Thailand, Taiwan and Vietnam.
As we receive a lot of requests from SMB customers we developed a tailored 3-tier service package that will cover common requirements for an affordable price. Please check out the service plans below.
This case study shows how we helped a medium sized game company use GCP to build a cost effective yet highly scalable backend for their online mobile game
plans, develops & operates online game apps.
Since it is hard to predict when an online games becomes popular and traffic increases, Five Stars Game decided to develop and run their game on GCP for its cost efficiency and scaling capabilities.
It’s very difficult to estimate resources in the gaming industry as you don’t know when or if a game will be a hit. We could plan ahead very easily on GCP, because there was no need to reserve resources.
We used to deal with everything ourselves when we didn’t have any support like investigating the causes of systems failures, but it’s very reassuring to have Cloud Ace to consult with on such matters now.
The fact that they handle any invoicing problems also makes things so much easier.
