Operational Impact
The shift to Google Cloud has not only saved Apester time and money, but it has also changed the way the company thinks about its processes. The IT team has developed a service-based mindset that focuses on results and improving the overall Apester product line, rather than fussing over the minutiae of DevOps. With the migration done, Apester continues to look for new ways to improve and evolve its products. The company is using Cloud Natural Language APIs to enhance the personalization of its service. Along with the data held in BigQuery, Apester’s work with the Cloud Natural Language modules provides the basis for an exploration into machine learning (ML). The company is heavily investing in its ML capabilities, and started using Tensorflow for its pipeline, enabling Apester to become even more responsive to its customers’ needs even as its audience expands. | |
