Local Cloud Consultant doubles down on Austin and Google Cloud, Announces Key Hire and AI Developments.

Austin, Texas - Coolhead Tech, a local cloud consulting firm founded in Austin in 2008, is celebrating 10 years this summer by hosting a Google Next Extended event at the Alamo Drafthouse Ritz, downtown Austin, on July 24, 2018. Google Next Extended events are presented by Google partners, developers and enthusiasts to bring members of the community together for Google Cloud’s signature technology event and coinciding local workshops and presentations.

The events run from late July to October and allow developers and IT leaders to access Next ‘18 content while engaging with the local business community through activities, panels and labs.

During Austin’s Google Cloud Next Extended Event, IT Leaders will present a panel on Unified Communication and Collaboration using G Suite and GCP. Big Data and Artificial Intelligence (AI) will also be a hot topic at the event as Coolhead Tech presents how local hospitality and service companies are taking advantage simply combining their own sales history combined with Coolhead’s comprehensive database of Austin weather and local events from high school football games to SXSW and ACL.

The G Suite customer panel will provide an introduction into the challenges of unified communication and collaboration in a digitally transforming environment and the importance of CIOs and IT leaders to make a move towards a more enhanced environment with flexibility and scalability at its core. IT leaders will learn about the mid-market options for business integrations with G-Suite and Google Cloud, and have the opportunity to ask questions about how their own company can make the most of the Google Cloud environment.

Google Machine Learning Brings Big Growth to Coolhead’s Big Data Consulting.

Coolhead Tech is locally known for consulting around G Suite and Google Apps. The company is one of Google’s earliest Enterprise Partners and earned premier partner status in 2014.

“G suite and Google Apps provide core cloud foundation for modern, secure communication and collaboration for tens of thousands of Texas companies” states Christopher Alghini, founder and lead consultant. “This frees up IT departments to get back to innovation with everything else Google Cloud has to offer.”

For local retailers, hospitality firms and businesses the ‘low hanging fruit’, as some call it, tends to be big data and machine learning. Most companies keep, at least, some extended and long term sales data, whether in their accounting system, in a Point of Sale system, or even in spreadsheets. According to Coolhead Tech, This data can easily have additional relevant data, such as local weather and events appended and then fed into a Machine learning model to spit back insights to local retailers, restaurants, and venues.

As Google, Coolhead Tech, and Austin area businesses start to venture into practical machine learning, Google’s core cloud technologies, G Suite, and Chrome have reached maturity in the workplace. G Suite is an enterprise grade cloud based productivity suite similar to Microsoft’s Office365, Exchange and Sharepoint offerings which also include commercial versions of email clients, word processing, number crunching spreadsheets and presentation software.

Coolhead Tech’s service offerings around Google Cloud’s core communication and collaboration products have also reached maturity. The company recently spun off a '2nd Generation born in the Cloud Company' offering high end service and support exclusively to corporate IT departments. The Apps Admin Company was founded in Houston, Texas earlier this year and recently relocated to downtown Austin.
