"I'm thrilled to bring RetailNext's comprehensive, industry-leading smart store retail analytics platform to Google Cloud's infrastructure and solution sets," said Arun Nair, co-founder and chief technology officer at RetailNext. "The retail industry has undergone extensive and dramatic changes over the past decade, and never before has the need for effective data management and analytical insights been more critical in developing the shopping experiences today's consumers crave. Google Cloud enables RetailNext to grow its platform capabilities to its fullest and provide the speed and security its retailing customers demand."
RetailNext's adoption of Google Cloud will deliver increased network capacity and improved performance across its portfolio of software solutions.

For retailers, data can either be extremely daunting or seen as a massive opportunity," said Carrie Tharp, vice president, retail at Google Cloud. "We're excited to work closely with RetailNext to provide a foundation for its competitive advantage. Our platforms will deliver transformative solutions to retailers around the world, many of whom are joint customers."
