Why Visma | ProActive Chose Google Cloud

“The choice to go with Google was driven by our developers. We fit together well as companies and innovation is a shared priority. We always think if something can be done better, faster or smarter. And with so many plug-in solutions available, we can get started with new features right away and improve the purchase-to-pay processes for our customers.”

Dirk Bonenkamp, CTO at Visma | ProActive

Say Hello to Smarter Ways of Working

The company's rapid growth made it difficult to manage its large server infrastructure, and with as many as 70,000 invoices per day doubling the amount of traffic, something had to change. Enter Google Cloud. With a positive shift in focus towards cloud computing solutions, Visma ProActive now adopts a modern way of working that is driven by automation and requires developers to collaborate differently. Visma ProActive can upscale easily without worrying about any downtime dealing with peak times in no time.

How does BigQuery Work?

Doing More with Data

Visma | ProActive uses Google’s powerful BigQuery solution to not only reveal how customers use its product but also to understand what the average processing time of an invoice is.

In future, it hopes to share more data with customers to provide an enhanced, personalised service.

The Power of Collaboration

As Visma ProActive continues to grow, the ongoing benefits of working with a Premier Google Cloud partner are clearer than ever. Not only does it now have greater flexibility, and scalability, but cost-effectiveness has improved too when compared to traditional on-premises servers, and a reduced dependency on hardware that can be costly to maintain.
