Incumbent British telecom BT (OTCPK:BTGOF) has signed a five-year deal to move its data to Google Cloud (GOOG
-1.7%, GOOGL
-1.7%).
That's part of a "massive" digital transformation BT is taking on at its BT Digital unit.

The partnership will include use of a suite of Google Cloud services and products, including cloud infrastructure, machine learning and artificial intelligence, data analytics, security and API management.
Google's SRE team will also partner with BT to drive a continuous delivery, "zero ops" autonomous operations culture.
BT is pursuing "hundreds" of new business use cases, including aiming for deeper personalization on customer offerings for new go-to-market propositions.
"This is a partnership that is deeper than just at the technology level. It will help Digital as a whole supercharge BT and drive its return to growth," says BT's Harmeen Mehta.
