Abstract

This IDC Perspective summarizes how BigCommerce, a global leader in digital commerce solutions, made the critical decision to replace its previous cloud service provider with Google Cloud Platform to improve security and support the company's next phase of global expansion. It describes what prompted the company to change cloud platforms, the criteria used to evaluate and select a platform, and the result of choosing GCP over other platforms.

"BigCommerce leveraged GCP's global network and considerable engineering resources to move tens of thousands of customers with virtually no disruption to the business," said Frank Della Rosa, research director, IDC SaaS and Cloud Software. IDC Industry CloudPath data show that buyers consider security, technical expertise, ease of migration, and lack of business disruption above cost when choosing a cloud platform.
