Story
Consumer Staples work at Metro AG spans more than one site, even when headquarters sits in Germany. Cloud landing zones was splitting across regional habits. Infrastructure and application teams asked for a shared way to run platform operations without freezing local judgment.
Google Cloud (BigQuery) is what they standardized on. Google Cloud provides infrastructure, analytics, and AI services, including BigQuery and Vertex AI, for data-heavy and machine learning workloads. Metro AG uses it as the system of record for cloud landing zones, with infrastructure and application teams as the primary operators and other groups coming in through the same queue.
Leaders get a picture they can actually walk. Teams get fewer mystery statuses. The story is about operating change, not an unpublished percentage.
