“Even just a lift and shift was hugely advantageous to us,” Brown says. “Not having to deal with hardware degradation and networking saved money and freed our engineers up. And since Google Cloud has their live migration feature, if any issues come up in the hardware, the service keeps running without our customers even knowing it. This is hugely important when dealing with telecom software as it relates to active calls.”

“I think the key to success was being able to adapt to unexpected needs as we went along,” said Brown. “Due to the complexity of the move, things came up that required flexible solutions. There were so many moving pieces and tools, so working closely with Zencore’s technical team was a big part of that success.”

“We deal with telecom, so the idea that we’d be transporting this old technology with hardly any engineers left who do that was very nerve-wracking. The fact that Zencore were able to do this was very impressive.”

“From a hardware perspective, Google is just better, hands down. They have live migration built into it – which means if the underlying hardware for a VM is having an issue, they silently migrate your workloads behind the scenes to new hardware so there is zero interruption on your end – so we knew that meant we’d have far fewer, if not zero, downtime issues due to hardware.”

“If a server goes down and an important, multi-hour call is disconnected, it can be very costly. Now that our call servers are in a Google environment, even if there’s an outage, the call still goes on without anyone noticing it.”

“We’ve got a very firm philosophy that’s deeply rooted in DevOps culture. You need deep-seated technical expertise in the critical systems you’re working on. When we worked with Zencore, it was clear that they had done this before but also that they understood we needed to work very closely to embed that expertise back on the team.”

“Fantastic experience working with Zencore to help us accelerate a migration of an acquired platform. Worth noting that I am a staunch believer in needing expertise embedded on teams for the services they own. This results in rarely leveraging outsourced expertise to assist. In this case we did and the ability to embed the changes back on the team was a low barrier for us to overcome. This speaks to the work that Zencore did as well as how they integrated with the Invoca team to handoff changes.”

“We developed a great partnership with Zencore that has been vital to accelerating our success with Google Cloud. Zencore’s practitioner knowledge of building BI solutions has allowed us to leverage best practices on BigQuery. At Pypestream we operate at high velocity with a lean mentality, and Zencore’s expertise has superpowered our team behind the scenes with a best-in-class analytics workload.”

“The Strategic Cloud Engineer and Managed Services offerings from Zencore have provided a boost to our efforts to increase the deployment speeds. Zencore’s expertise will help us continue to increase velocity over time.”

“The quality of support and the guidance we have received from Zencore since day 1 has helped us immensely while growing on Google Cloud.”

“From providing architecture advice to jumping in and troubleshooting with us, the Zencore team has been here every step of the way to support us and provide high quality managed services on Google Cloud. Their partnership has been crucial to our success on the platform and I would highly recommend them to anyone operating on Google Cloud.”

“This new Headgum offering will significantly move the needle for our advertisers and Zencore was instrumental in this project's success.”

“The project was a huge success. Zencore assisted in targeting the right use case in which our executive team could understand the value of Gen-AI, while also making sure the effort wouldn't be considered a science project,”
