Typically GCP is chosen for up front volume discounts and bundling deals with GSuite and other tools, even more so for companies that offer GSuite-as-service accounts within other products, like business tools or hosting platforms.
The problem is Google can’t make up the market share from only pressuring “lackey” companies that it has leverage over to use their cloud, it has to have a big scale draw for otherwise unaffiliated customers, and to a lesser extent can’t sustain these initial volume & bundling discounts indefinitely.
- scarface74 7y agoUnfortunately, GSuite is both losing marketshare and not being adopted by larger companies.. http://www.cloudcomputing-news.net/news/2018/may/30/office-365-usage-goes-and-leaving-g-suite-behind-says-research/ http://www.cloudcomputing-news.net/news/2018/may/30/office-3... Also being the discount cloud provider is not an enviable position.

- doctor_eval 7y agoSure. I don’t use google docs so I don’t know, have they fixed the ugly UI, have they had some big customer gains, has some new community adopted it? I think Google has done a huge push into education, that alone could reap significant gains in 18 months.
