Xebia Expands Google Cloud Managed Partner Status Across Key Global Markets to Support AI-First Growth Strategy 

Xebia has expanded its Google Cloud Managed Partner status across multiple strategic markets, strengthening its ability to deliver AI-first transformation programs on a global scale. Building on its established Managed Partner position in the Netherlands, Xebia now holds this status in the United Kingdom, Poland, and the United States, while continuing to deepen its presence across the Middle East through dedicated partner and delivery investments, including a locally assigned Google Cloud Partner Development Manager in Saudi Arabia.

This expansion supports Xebia’s long-term growth strategy and further embeds the company within Google Cloud’s Strategic Services Partner model. It also reflects increasing enterprise demand for partners that can:

  1. Migrate and Modernize workloads at scale
  1. Operationalize AI consistently across regions, platforms, and operating models

Scaling AI Use Cases on Google Cloud

Xebia’s expanded Managed Partner footprint aligns directly with Google Cloud’s priority areas, with a strong emphasis on moving organizations from AI experimentation to production-grade deployment. Xebia focuses on AI use cases that deliver measurable impact across core enterprise domains:

  • Xebia Migration Factory: Xebia delivers industrialized migration and modernization programs that move legacy workloads to Google Cloud with speed and predictability. These programs create standardized, AI-ready foundations for data platforms, analytics, and machine learning workloads.
  • Agent AI and Autonomous Systems: Xebia designs and implements agent-based architectures that go beyond conversational interfaces. Using its Superagent framework, Xebia enables enterprises to orchestrate multiple AI agents that execute end-to-end business processes, integrate with enterprise systems, and operate within defined governance and security boundaries.
  • Cloud-Native and AI-Native Application Development: Leveraging Google Xebia builds cloud-native applications on Google Cloud using services such as GKE and Vertex AI. Applications are designed for resilience, scalability, and continuous AI integration, enabling teams to embed intelligence directly into products and digital services.

Execution at Global Scale

The expanded Managed Partner status strengthens Xebia’s ability to execute coordinated, multi-region transformation programs. This capability is underpinned by several global initiatives:

  • Global Google Cloud Center of Excellence
    Xebia operates a Global Google Cloud Center of Excellence that consolidates best practices, accelerates presales and delivery, and develops cross-service solutions aligned with Google Cloud’s roadmap.
  • Distributed Global Delivery Model
    Xebia has expanded delivery capacity across Benelux, Poland, India, and Colombia, enabling scalable execution for enterprise and multi-country programs. This model has driven a 70 percent increase in Google Cloud certified capacity while maintaining consistent delivery quality.
  • Professionalized Partner and Sales Operations

    A dedicated Global Sales Operations team supports joint go-to-market execution with Google Cloud. This team manages funding programs, co-sell motions, and operational cadence to support complex enterprise engagements worldwide.

This execution model is increasingly critical as organizations shift toward portfolio-level AI initiatives, where success depends on platform standardization, governance, and sustained capability development.

AI-First Engineering as a Core Capability

Xebia’s AI-first strategy is grounded in hands-on delivery across cloud foundations, data platforms, AI engineering, and software modernization. AI is embedded across Xebia’s services, including platform design, product engineering, operating model transformation, and optimization initiatives focused on cost, performance, and resilience.

This approach enables organizations to deploy AI responsibly and at scale, while preparing their platforms and teams for continuous evolution as AI capabilities mature.

Culture, Talent, and Long-Term Partnership

Xebia’s growth is driven by an engineering-first culture that emphasizes craftsmanship, continuous learning, and shared ownership of outcomes. This culture enables Xebians to work closely with clients as long-term partners, combining strategic thinking with deep execution capability.

<em>“Expanding the Managed Partner status across these regions reflects both market demand and organizational readiness. Enterprises are embedding AI into their core operations, and they need partners who can scale delivery globally while staying close to their business context. This milestone allows us to do exactly that, in close partnership with Google Cloud.”</em>

How does this expansion support enterprise-scale AI adoption?

The expanded Managed Partner coverage allows Xebia to deliver AI programs that operate across multiple geographies and business units. This includes standardized cloud foundations, governed data and AI platforms, and repeatable delivery models that move AI from isolated use cases into core enterprise processes.

How is security and governance addressed in AI and cloud programs?

Security, governance, and resilience are embedded into Xebia’s cloud and AI delivery approach from the outset.

How does Xebia work with Google Cloud on go-to-market execution?

Xebia operates dedicated global partner and sales operations to support joint go-to-market initiatives with Google Cloud. This includes coordinated co-sell motions, access to funding programs, and structured operational cadence to support enterprise engagements from early discovery through large-scale execution.

What does this expansion mean for global organizations?

For organizations with a global footprint, the expanded Managed Partner coverage means they can engage Xebia as a single, consistent partner across regions while retaining local execution where required. Clients benefit from standardized architectures, shared delivery practices, and centralized governance, combined with regional expertise that addresses local regulatory, data residency, and operational requirements. This enables enterprises to scale Google Cloud and AI initiatives globally without fragmenting platforms, teams, or delivery models.
