Story
Inside Cardinal Health, data platform operations used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in health care groups working out of the United States. Data engineers needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
Cardinal Health uses Vertex AI from Google Cloud as the working layer for analytics hosting. Google Cloud provides infrastructure, analytics, and AI services, including BigQuery and Vertex AI, for data-heavy and machine learning workloads. The practical change is simple: data platform operations has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What Cardinal Health gets from Google Cloud is a durable place to run data platform operations and a way for data engineers to see the same analytics hosting at the same time.
