The announcement marks the expansion of partnerships between the two companies. HCL Commerce is a leading, Coud-native platform used by businesses across multiple industries and around the world to drive more than $100 billion in annual client revenues. "The collaboration between Google Cloud and HCL Commerce is helping customers rapidly execute their digital transformation strategy that is rooted in the new normal," Darren Oberst, Corporate Vice President and Head of HCL Software, said in a statement. "With the support of our global implementation partner ecosystem, we can now deliver a proven, comprehensive commerce solution across all industries, handling the challenges of today and in the future," he added. Bringing HCL Commerce to Google Cloud will enable businesses to maintain their investments in HCL's commerce platform while also taking advantage of the global reach, security, and elasticity of Google Cloud, the two companies said. In addition, businesses across industries will be able to develop positive, data-driven customer experiences online by leveraging Google Cloud's capabilities in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and analytics. "It is more important than ever for firms spanning all industries to deliver strong, customer-centric eCommerce experiences," said Kevin Ichhpurani, Corporate Vice President, Global Ecosystem at Google Cloud. "We're proud that Google Cloud infrastructure will power HCL Commerce, helping businesses leverage the elasticity and reliability of Google Cloud and ultimately delivering positive eCommerce experiences for customers around the world."

They will organize using the name Pittsburgh Association of Tech Professionals.The group of analysts are not direct Google employees, but rather <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2019/sep/23/google-pittsburgh-union-roots-transform-tech-industry">contractors who work for HCL America</a>, an Indian outsourcing firm. However, they work primarily on Google projects and their workplace is Google's Pittsburgh office. Google has a "shadow" workforce of 135,000 contracted employees in addition to its 115,000 direct employees, according to <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/dec/11/google-tvc-full-time-employees-training-document">The Guardian</a>.HCL acknowledged the unionization vote and said in a <a href="https://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2019/09/24/google-employees-join-united-steelworkers/">statement</a> that it would respect the workers' decision to join United Steelworkers. In a statement to Business Insider, a Google spokesperson characterized the union negotiations as an issue between HCL and its workers."We work with lots of partners, many of which have unionized workforces, and many of which don't. As with all our partners, whether HCL's employees unionize or not is between them and their employer. We'll continue to partner with HCL," the spokesperson said.Maria Somma, a United Steelworkers organizer, <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2019/sep/23/google-pittsburgh-union-roots-transform-tech-industry">told The Guardian</a> that the union hopes HCL's vote will inspire more tech workers across the industry to unionize."The HCL workers are the first group that's daring enough - understanding the precarity of their situation - to say we've got to take a step," she said in an interview with The Guardian. "That to me is unbelievably brave. You want to see working-class heroes in today's modern world, look at them."Workers seeking unionization have complained that Google does not offer paid sick leave and hasn't scaled wages to match inflation, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-09-24/google-contractors-vote-to-join-united-steelworkers-union-says">Bloomberg reported</a>.HCL reportedly attempted to discourage workers from unionizing in the weeks leading up to the voice, <a href="https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/8xwmnv/google-contractors-officially-vote-to-unionize">according to Motherboard</a>, which obtained emails sent by HCL deputy general manager of operations Jeremy Carlson."The Steelworkers are typically 'blue collar' workers, not workers in a tech industry like us," Carlson reportedly wrote in one email to staff. "Do you really think the Steelworkers understand our needs, our industry, our business, or even what you do on a daily basis? I don't." In 2014, 38 Microsoft contractors <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-08-23/microsoft-bug-testers-unionized-then-they-were-dismissed">voted to form a union</a> to negotiate with their temp agency, Lionbridge Technologies Inc. They were all fired by 2016, and ultimately reached a National Labor Relations Board settlement with Microsoft.HCL workers underscored the need for union representation in a <a href="https://www.usw.org/news/media-center/releases/2019/pittsburgh-association-of-technical-professionals-files-for-nlrb-representation-election">release</a> published by the United Steelworkers in August."Workers at HCL deserve far more than they have received in terms of compensation, transparency and consideration, and it has gone on like this for much too long," said HCL employee Renata Nelson said in the release.Get the latest Google stock price<a href="http://markets.businessinsider.com/stock/GOOG-Quote"> here.</a> <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/watch-apple-unveil-new-iphone-11-pro-max-camera-2019-9">Watch Apple unveil the new iPhone 11, 11 Pro, and 11 Pro Max</a></h3> <div> </div> </div>

Specifically, they'll help customers move to the platform, upgrade or build new applications, and generally make the process of using Google Cloud as painless for them as possible.The move would help shore up Google's position in IT services, an area where it is known to be weak, but which is critical in wooing big enterprises looking to move to cloud to embrace its platform. Microsoft, Amazon, IBM, and other major IT vendors all have professional services arms that help their customers get the most from their products."At Google, we've been very clear that we're not a services company," Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian told Business Insider. While Amazon and Microsoft both employ their own IT services organizations in-house, Kurian says Google would rather never find itself in a conflict of interest with its own partners as they chase deals."We never wanted to be a services company because frankly being a services company leads to conflict with the very partners like HCL that you want to use your platform," Kurian said. "That makes it much easier to partner, unlike other cloud providers who have their own services arm."<h2>A shot at Microsoft</h2>The alliance appeared to be aimed squarely at Microsoft. In announcing the alliance, Google and HCL said one of their key goals is to help SAP customers migrate their infrastructure to Google Cloud. SAP recently formed <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/microsoft-azure-sap-applications-cloud-partnership-2019-10">an alliance with Microsoft</a> that would make it easier for its customers to move their networks to Azure, Microsoft's cloud platform.Kurian said they specifically mentioned SAP customers because "it's a deep expertise that HCL has, and it's an area where we're seeing significant demand."Analyst Ian Campbell, CEO of Nucleus Research, a technology research firm, said the HCL alliance is a smart move for Google. "Strong move for Google in adding a premium services component to its cloud offering," he told Business Insider. "With Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure in the market, Google can now include business capable services to help enterprises transition to the cloud."<h2>An advantage in the cloud wars</h2>The cloud market is dominated by Amazon, Microsoft and Google. Cloud computing has made it possible for businesses, including big enterprises, to set up and maintain their networks on web-based platforms. This allowed them to scale down or even abandon private data centers.Professional service providers like HCL are a key part of the cloud wars between the major cloud providers. They employ an army of experts who provide the manpower and expertise to help even the largest companies move to the cloud, making it that much more feasible.The cloud giants have formed alliances in order to meet this need. Amazon Web Services has its own professional services division, but also has a partner network that includes major IT services companies such as Accenture and Deloitte. Microsoft long ago established its own professional services arm, and has relationships with the major providers, as well. While Google Cloud lags Amazon and Microsoft, it has under Kurian and previous CEO Diane Greene signaled a willingness to go after larger customers - and, to that end, started to form its own alliances. Last year, <a href="https://newsroom.accenture.com/news/accenture-and-google-cloud-expand-strategic-collaboration-announce-new-enterprise-solutions-in-customer-experience-transformation.htm">Google and Deloitte teamed up</a> in a separate partnership that was also aimed at helping SAP customers move to Google Cloud. Google has been working with Accenture since around 2011, too, and<a href="https://newsroom.accenture.com/news/accenture-and-google-cloud-expand-strategic-collaboration-announce-new-enterprise-solutions-in-customer-experience-transformation.htm"> expanded that partnership</a> earlier this year.The HCL partnership is the surest sign of that direction, yet, though.Kurian said that the planned Google-focused HCL organization "will make them the largest number of trained specialists in our portfolio."<h2>HCL's big bet on Google</h2>HCL, which has more than 147,000 employees, is one of the major players in infrastructure managed services the world. Gartner names it among the leading data center outsourcing and hybrid management infrastructure services providers in North America, together with IBM and Accenture."We are creating a dedicated business unit" for Google Cloud, CVK Vijayakumar, CEO and president of HCL, told Business Insider. "This is an important investment and strategy for us."Vijayakumar said that as part of the alliance, HCL will set up "Google Cloud-specific" labs in Dallas, London and Delhi where they plan to enhance technologies Google Cloud customers use, such as Google G-Suite tools, and build new ones.Kurian said the alliance also allows Google and HCL to adapt to emerging trends, mainly the hybrid cloud and multi-cloud strategies. In hybrid cloud, businesses set up networks to the cloud while maintaining huge chunks of their data and applications in private data centers. In multi-cloud, businesses manage their networks on different platforms while also maintaining a private data center."They were looking for partners who would bring things like multi-cloud and hybrid, and we were looking for expertise in infrastructure management," Kurian said. "I think the combination is a perfect fit."Got a tip about Google or another tech company?

The CEO of Google Cloud explains how joining forces with a giant in IT services gives it more muscle in the battle with Amazon and Microsoft

REUTERS/Denis BalibouseSundar Pichai, Chief Executive Officer of Alphabet<ul class="summary-list"><li>Google workers are raising concerns internally about the company's treatment of contract workers amid the coronavirus pandemic.</li><li>In an internal memo seen by Business Insider, workers are demanding that Google contract workers are given assurances around pay and are not forced to go to company offices unless absolutely necessary.</li><li>"When it comes to our 'extended workforce,' Google and its contracting agencies are falling short," the memo authors wrote.</li><li>Contract workers based in Pittsburgh - which has declared a state of emergency - staged an internal protest on Monday because they had to continue coming into the office.</li></ul>A group of Google employees are challenging the company's treatment of contract workers amid the corona virus outbreak, contending that safety measures designed to protect employees from infection exclude the army of temporary and contract workers that perform vital tasks for the search giant.On Tuesday, a list of demands written by Google workers began circulating internally that calls for better protections for contract workers at the $772 billion company and asks for greater clarity over Google's policies, Business Insider has learned. The letter cites contract workers for Google at a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania office who were required to continue to come into the office even after Google encouraged its regular, full-time employees to work remotely. The Pittsburgh workers, employed by contractor HCL Technologies, protested on Monday by wearing black to the office cafeteria."We know that leadership clearly values the health and safety of our workplaces and communities," a group of Google workers wrote in the document that circulated internally on Tuesday. "But when it comes to our 'extended workforce,' Google and its contracting agencies are falling short."Google has around 119,000 employees throughout the world - and a similar number of temporary workers, contractors, and external vendors (TVCs). Google's policies on TVCs have proved immensely contentious over the last few years, with critics complaining they amount to a "second-class" workforce denied the perks and privileges afforded to proper Google employees.As COVID-19 (the disease caused by the coronavirus) has spread, sickening more than 181,000 people and killing more than 7,500, Google has taken steps to enable its workforce to work remotely and lock down its facilities. But some employees are concerned that the company's efforts don't do enough for TVC workers."We're working closely with all our vendor partners to increase the ability for their employees to work from home by rolling out remote access as quickly as possible," Google spokesperson Jenn Kaiser said in an email to Business Insider. "HCL employees in Google Pittsburgh were approved for remote access today and no HCL employees will be required to come into the Pittsburgh office starting tomorrow."<h2>"No one should be in a Google office unless absolutely necessary."</h2>The memo's writers - who describe themselves as "a coalition of employees and TVCs who want Google to be Googley - issued two demands: That "no one should be in a Google office unless absolutely necessary," and that "every employee of [Google's parent company] Alphabet, whether direct or contracted, must have complete confidence they can stay home with no disruption to pay."The memo highlighted the office in Pittsburgh, which has contract workers from HCL: "Workers who are contracted through HCL were expected to come into work this week, despite Pittsburgh declaring a state of emergency, closing its schools, and urging non-essential businesses to close." (Earlier in March, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2020/03/09/tech-contractors-coronavirus/">The Washington Post also published a story detailing concerns by HCL workers about its policies</a>.)These HCL workers recently unionized, and their union tweeted a photo of a worker protest against the coronavirus policies in the company cafeteria on Monday.The memo writers are also asking TVCs at Google to share their experiences around the company's coronavirus policies, though it is not clear how widely circulated the memo has been or how many responses it has elicited."Google has recommended that all North American workers work from home ... but entire offices full of TVCs have no yet had their remote access requests approved, and they are asked to come into the office while this is pending," they wrote."Google has promised that if offices close, workers without remote access will be compensated for the hours they would have worked. But offices have not closed ... TVCs are increasingly being forced to chose between risking infection by going to work, or losing wages."In a statement, HCL spokesperson Meenakshi Benjwal said: "HCL employs close to 150,000 people worldwide and 20,000 in the United States and our employee's health and safety is our top priority. We are taking an abundance of caution by deploying new sick-leave and remote work policies to help our employees take better care of themselves and their families and help prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus. Specific to our Pittsburgh-based employees, we have already communicated a work from home option in consultation with our client, Google. We are enabling a remote working model to keep their health and safety as the priority in line with our other global efforts around the COVID-19 situation."Google employees previously said they were largely confident about their employer's overall preparations for COVID-19, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/google-employees-company-response-covid-19-free-lunches-2020-3">Business Insider reported earlier in March</a>. "We've been preparing for weeks, with company-wide communications daily, sometimes multiple times a day," a Canadian employee said. "Bottom line: nobody could be more prepared or execute on such a massive scale like this except Google."Do you work at Google or Alphabet? How is the coronavirus outbreak affecting your workplace?

Google contract workers in Pittsburgh are unionizing as the company's 'shadow workforce' continues to fight for the same pay and benefits as full-time employees

New Delhi, Jan 17 () IT major HCL Technologies on Friday posted a 13 per cent rise in its consolidated net profit at Rs 2,944 crore for the December 2019 quarter and said it expects to clock up to 17 per cent growth in FY20 revenue on the back of pipeline being at a "historic peak".
 The company had registered a net profit of Rs 2,605 crore in the year-ago period as per Indian Accounting Standards. Its revenue from operations grew 15.5 per cent to Rs 18,135 crore in the quarter under review, from Rs 15,699 crore in the year-ago period.
 "We have once again delivered a great quarter...this quarter, we have crossed an annualised run rate of USD 10 billion. Our pipeline stands at an all-time high, we are expecting a higher conversion of this pipeline to booking in this quarter," HCL Technologies President and CEO C Vijayakumar told reporters here.
 The company's CFO Prateek Aggarwal said the company has narrowed its revenue growth outlook to 16.5-17 per cent for 2019-20 in constant currency terms, from its previous forecast of 15-17 per cent topline growth in constant currency terms.
 "We had earlier guided to a wider range of about 15-17 per cent but now that we have only one quarter to go and we have better visibility, we have narrowed down the range...it is coming from both sides - organic and inorganic," he added.
 Compared to HCL Technologies' performance, Wipro had posted 2.2 per cent growth in its IT services revenue (USD 2.09 billion). It expects its March quarter IT services revenue growth to be flat to 2 per cent.
 HCL Technologies' larger rival Infosys - which announced its results last week - had also revised its revenue guidance for the fiscal to 10-10.5 per cent topline growth helped by double digit growth year-to-date.
 India's largest IT services company Tata Consultancy Services announced its results on Friday. Posting a 6.7 per cent rise in topline in December 2019 quarter, the Mumbai-based company said it had closed deals worth USD 6 billion during the said quarter. However, TCS also made it clear that it will not be able to notch a double-digit revenue growth in FY20.
 For HCL Technologies, the strong performance of HCL Software was driving growth for the Products and Platform segment of the company.
 "Inorganic guidance was 5-6 per cent earlier and that is now at 6 per cent. For organic, which we had said would be 10-11 per cent, now we are revising to 10.5-11 per cent," Vijayakumar explained.
 In December 2018, HCL Technologies had inked an agreement to acquire select IBM software products for Rs 12,252 crore (about USD 1.8 billion), including earnouts of Rs 1,035 crore (USD 150 million). The company closed the deal on June 30, 2019.
Vijayakumar said during the December 2019 quarter, the company had entered into a preferred business partnership with Google.
 "We have established Google cloud business unit and we look forward to winning a lot more cloud opportunities with the addition of Google as an ecosystem partner for us," he added.
 Talking about the demand environment, Vijayakumar said the pipeline is at "historic peak".
"So I am very optimistic about overall demand environment. There could be some verticals where there could be some kind of softness but broadly across it's very good. The pipeline is fairly robust in the US, Europe in line with our revenue contributions. So overall (we are) very positive about the overall demand environment," he added.
HCL Technologies' board has declared a dividend of Rs 2 per share.
Vijayakumar said on a year-year basis, five of the seven verticals posted double-digit growth, while life sciences and healthcare delivered a high-single digit y-o-y growth.
He said growth was led by manufacturing at 38.1 per cent y-o-y, energy, utility and public services at 31.3 per cent, retail CPG at 16.9 per cent, financial services at 16.8 per cent, and telecom and media at 13.6 per cent.
 In terms of geographies, the US, Europe and Rest of World (RoW) experienced double digit growth on a y-o-y basis in constant currency. RoW lead the growth with 27.3 per cent y-o-y growth in constant currency.
 In dollar terms, the net profit grew 17.2 per cent to USD 426.5 million for the December 2019 quarter, while revenue surged by 15.5 per cent to USD 2.5 billion as compared to the year-ago period, as per the US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
 The company added 11,502 employees (gross) during the quarter to take its total head count to 1,49,173 at the end of the December 2019 quarter. Attrition on last 12-month basis stood at 16.8 per cent.
 The results were announced after trading hours. Shares of the company on Friday closed at Rs 598.8 apiece, up marginally from their previous close on the BSE. SR MBI

To prevent future abuse, Google announced that it will limit access to its private Chrome application programming interface (APIs) starting on March 15. By removing access to Chrome sync for other Chromium web browsers, it removes their ability to integrate the Chrome Sync API to sync their users' data to all devices where they are logged into their Google account. "During a recent audit, we discovered that some third-party Chromium-based browsers were able to integrate Google features, such as Chrome sync and Click to Call, that are only intended for Google's use," the search engine giant said in a statement. Google will not delete any data already synced from these third-party browsers, but they also won't sync any new data after March 15. "For users who accessed Google features (like Chrome sync) through a third-party Chromium-based browser, their data will continue to be available in their Google Account, and data that they have stored locally will continue to be available locally," the company added. Google did not state which browsers were discovered using Chrome Sync  most major Chromium-based browsers either have their own sync engines (Opera, Brave, etc.) or don't offer cloud sync at all.
