Customer overview
The customer is a nonprofit, child and family care organization. They offer child and family services, community programs, and crisis services. They also provide health and medical care through a dedicated hospital and other resources; conduct research on child behavior issues; and provide services for children with severe behavioral problems.
CDW acted as the primary system integrator, GCP and data consultant, GCP design lead, and GCP reseller and support arm post-implementation.
The challenge
The organization required a foundational Google Cloud Landing zone for various applications they hosted on-prem, focusing on survivability, scalability, observability, security, and compliance. The customer wanted to establish data insights from their fundraising data set using Google BigQuery and Vertex AI. This analysis will drive both transactional & relational fundraising optimization strategies.
The solution
CDW built a Google Cloud landing zone for the customer. This included discovery & design sessions, SSO integration, on-prem connectivity setup, IAM policies, GCP admin infrastructure and core networking, firewall configurations, DNS forwarding, logging sync, BigQuery setup, Cloud Storage, Cloud Logging, Vertex AI, testing and validation, and project closeout with final documentation.
The result
The non-profit can now capture insights and trends from their GA4 Dataset and other fundraising data sets through BigQuery. In addition, they have a secure Google Cloud foundation integrated with their Identity provider and Palo Alto standards. This allows for expanded usage of the Google Cloud Platform and knowledge transfer on various Google Cloud Services.
Knowledge transfer surrounding the Google Cloud Platform for the customer's IT and security team was established through the delivery of this project. The GCP foundation is in place for both the customer's first data analytics workloads, and future usage of the Google Cloud Platform.
