Vodacom Business Becomes Google Cloud Premier Partner

Vodacom Business  has become a Premier Partner for Google Cloud  and Google Workspace , a move that strengthens its mission to deliver cloud connectivity and managed services to businesses in South Africa and across Africa. This partnership builds on a decade-long global collaboration between Vodafone and Google.

As a Premier Partner, Vodacom Business can now offer its enterprise customers access to Google Cloud’s latest services, including AI-integrated platforms like Gemini Code Assist and Google Workspace with Gemini. This will enable businesses to scale, innovate, and remain competitive by leveraging tools for data analysis, application development, and enhanced collaboration.

Additionally, the partnership includes the introduction of Google Cloud Interconnect (GCI), which provides businesses with direct, secure, and high-speed access to Google Cloud services. This is expected to reduce latency by up to 40% and provide a 99.99% uptime, simplifying cloud management with a single Service Level Agreement (SLA) for cloud, connectivity, and security.

This strategic partnership is a response to the rapidly expanding African cloud market and is designed to help future-proof organizations by providing them with the flexibility and innovation needed for long-term growth.
