Use Cases and Deployment Scope

My company uses Google Compute Engine to clean our "dirty" EDI files from the ports, terminals, and carriers that we work with for data cleansing services. We then put the cleansed files back into our dashboards for better visibility and to show potentially actionable insights for our customers.

Pros and Cons

Fast return of files.
Cost effective.
Good UI.

The document security has been an issue.
Not a lot of customization ability.
Customer service people weren't very knowledgeable.

Return on Investment

the ROI for the company has been a huge reduction in manual processes.
It doesn't work for all cases.
very easily scalable so that is a time savings as well.
