Our Google Cloud partners play a huge role in supporting our customers, and at no time has that been more true than now. From the beginning of the pandemic, the Google Cloud partner community has been at the forefront of building new solutions to address the short-term and long-term needs of our customers around the world.
Last month I shared just a few of the examples of how partners, customers, and Googlers are working together to enable business continuity in so many key areas of our communities today.
In parallel, we’ve seen many partners that have worked quickly to combine their decades of technical expertise with the learnings of the past several months in order to provide customers with new offers, solutions, and services to best support them.
To make it easier for a broader range of customers to benefit from these resources, today we’re launching a newpartner offers and solutionsresource. This is a simple way for customers to connect directly with partners who can provide solutions and support to help their businesses move forward during this time. Below are just a few of the highlighted offers from this new resource.
