"Being a Google Cloud Premier Partner says that we are one of the best at moving businesses to the Cloud and that we are equipped to deliver the highest levels of technical and billing management and service to our customers."
Eric Sengbusch, CEO, WALTLabs.io
Humans love superlatives. From the time we are youngsters, we adapt our understanding of the world by classifying things on a scale that ranges from inferior to superior. It is not unusual to hear a four-year-old, for instance, refer to their favorite breakfast cereal as "the best-est." Grammar error aside, the child clearly understands the concept of superlatives.
The desire to rank all things carries over to adulthood and our daily lives as business people and technologists. Multitudes of businesses are built by establishing themselves at the top of a hierarchy. Apple is an easy example as it prides itself on creating the best in personal computing products. BMW delivers the "ultimate driving experience." Google Cloud too embraces this concept and highlights its exceptional partners through its Partner Advantage program and even tags the most qualified amongst them as Google Cloud Premier Partners--more on that in a moment.
Certified Delivery of Google Cloud Solutions
In a world where the delivery of cloud services like Google Workspace or Google Cloud Platform can be commoditized, Google spotted the opportunity to differentiate. The Google Cloud Partner Advantage program identified those service providers that stand apart from their peers. Through its rigorous validation program, which focuses on certifications, demonstrated expertise, and specializations, Google has identified cloud facilitators that are best suited to help businesses succeed in their digital transformations.
While a partner program that's entirely focused on the success of the end-user is impressive, Google saw the chance to raise the bar even further. To add incentive to the program, the cloud giant introduced an enhanced level of service with its Google Cloud Premier Partner program. This upped status is reserved for just a small percentage of partners that have shown an unyielding commitment to driving customer success, garnering specializations, and showcasing a deeper level of expertise in the field of cloud computing.
Google Cloud Premier Partners demonstrate innovation, collaboration, and a strict focus on the customer. In turn, partners of this distinction enjoy a host of benefits from Google. Most notably, partners have extensive access to tools, technology, and support from Google to put customers first and move businesses forward. They also have the capability to deliver billings management, technical support, and additional savings to customers--things not all partners can provide.

For other companies looking to take the next step with secure infrastructure, developer tools, APIs, data analytics, and machine learning, the company implemented the Google Cloud Platform. In time, WALTLabs.io delivered Google Cloud optimizing IT for hundreds of companies and thousands of end-users.
With a history of demonstrated success as a cloud partner, the path was clear for Google Cloud to elevate WALTLabs.io to Premier Partner status.
