Story
Utilities work at Tohoku Electric Power Network spans more than one site, even when headquarters sits in Japan. Model serving was splitting across regional habits. ML and product teams asked for a shared way to run applied AI delivery without freezing local judgment.
Google Cloud (Vertex AI) is what they standardized on. Google Cloud provides infrastructure, analytics, and AI services, including BigQuery and Vertex AI, for data-heavy and machine learning workloads. Tohoku Electric Power Network uses it as the system of record for model serving, with ML and product teams as the primary operators and other groups coming in through the same queue.
Leaders get a picture they can actually walk. Teams get fewer mystery statuses. The story is about operating change, not an unpublished percentage.
