In the contemporary digital economy, the exponential growth of data presents both opportunities and challenges for organizations. The primary challenge lies in collecting data and in transforming it into actionable information that can effectively guide strategic decisions. This is the case for L’Oréal Group, the world’s largest cosmetics group, which has decided to put data at the centre to sustain its competitive advantage, and become a data-driven enterprise, making informed choices through business intelligence and with the help of machine learning and other cutting-edge technologies. This research underscores the critical contribution of Google Cloud services in facilitating this transformation, notably in guiding the shift from on-premises infrastructures toward distributed cloud architectures.
