Case Study: Akeneo accelerates SaaS growth and weekly releases with Google Cloud

Akeneo Empowering retailers with a single source of truth for product information

Akeneo, a product information management company, needed a more scalable and secure way to run its SaaS PIM platform and support customers more efficiently. Before moving to the cloud, its on-premises setup made support slow and release cycles lengthy. While the case study focuses on Google Cloud and Google Kubernetes Engine, the customer challenge was centered on modernizing the platform and improving agility.

Akeneo implemented a cloud-based SaaS solution on Google Cloud, using Google Kubernetes Engine to power its platform and improve operations. As a result, it accelerated releases from every six months to weekly, reduced support burden, and strengthened security with ISO 27001 certification. The business impact was significant: the SaaS product now drives 70% of new contracts, Akeneo serves more than 500 enterprise clients, and its Community Edition has reached over 80,000 downloads.
