Google scored cloud contracts this week with Adani and UPS.

Adani plans to move to Google Cloud, while US postal company UPS will expand an existing Google relationship that will see it track packages more effectively.

Indian multinational conglomerate Adani Group plans to migrate its "extensive IT footprint" from its existing on-premise data center and colocation facilities to Google Cloud.

That includes more than 250 business-critical applications, such as its SAP HANA core, and peripheral systems to Google Cloud.

Involved in a number of business, including port management, electric power generation and transmission, renewable energy, mining, airport operations, natural gas, food processing, and infrastructure.

Adani also has its own data center aspirations. In February last year, the company signed a joint venture with EdgeConneX to form AdaniConneX. The company plans to build 1GW of hyperscale and Edge data center capacity over the next decade.

"The Adani Group is paving the way toward a cloud-first future, and we're thrilled to partner with the company on landmark projects that will support its innovation and future growth," said Thomas Kurian, CEO, Google Cloud.

"Adani's SAP migration is one of the fastest we've seen at scale and is already delivering significant value across its business. Our continued collaboration will spearhead new digital platforms that will have a transformative impact."

Over in the US, Google Cloud deepened its partnership with the United Parcel Service.

UPS signed a limited deal with Google in 2019 to help with logistics networks. Now, the two companies will increase the scope of the deal.

“The potential is unlimited,” Juan Perez, chief information and engineering officer at UPS, told the Wall Street Journal.

Kirsten Kliphouse, president of Google Cloud for North America, added: “The need for us to come together has just accelerated. It’s always been there—but the need has now become even greater, and the capabilities of what we’re able to provide with the technology that we have today enables this to be a real way to produce value.”

UPS is trialing adding RFID chips to packages to provide more detailed data about package locations. This is then analyzed in Google's cloud using the Harmonized Enterprise Analytics Tool (HEAT), which was developed in collaboration with Google.
