    As IT procurement becomes vital to enabling agile, cost-effective digital transformation, enterprises are re-evaluating how they source technology. Traditional procurement processes struggle with extended cycles, poor provider governance, and limited alignment to cloud-native spend models. Cloud marketplaces are emerging as a strategic procurement channel, offering faster vendor onboarding, dynamic pricing, streamlined license management, and increased spending visibility. In this report, we examine how enterprises can leverage hyperscaler cloud marketplaces, such as AWS Marketplace, Azure Marketplace, and Google Cloud Marketplace, to unlock financial and operational value across procurement, governance, and partner management. It outlines the marketplace features that enable faster deployment, better control, and enhanced committed cloud spend use. The report also offers strategic recommendations for aligning procurement strategies with marketplace capabilities and maximizing value through private offers, curated partner solutions, and co-sell models involving Independent Software Vendor(ISVs) and providers.

    In May 2025, Google Cloud expanded its sovereign cloud offerings to address increasing demands for data sovereignty and operational autonomy. It launched Google Cloud Air-Gapped, a fully isolated environment designed for sectors with stringent data security requirements, such as defense and intelligence. This solution operates without external network connectivity and is authorized to handle US government Top Secret data. Google Cloud Dedicated, developed in partnership with Thales, a French leader in cybersecurity, offers region-specific services operated by local partners to meet national compliance standards, such as France’s SecNumCloud. The Google Cloud Data Boundary service expansion now offers customers granular control over data residency and access, complemented by the User Data Shield, which incorporates Mandiant’s security assessments to validate application security postures. While these initiatives demonstrate Google Cloud’s commitment to offering flexible, secure, and compliant cloud solutions, challenges remain. These challenges include the limited geographic availability of certain services and complexities in integrating sovereign solutions with existing multi-cloud architectures. Enterprises must carefully assess these factors when considering Google Cloud’s offerings for their sovereignty objectives.
