Appsbroker Earns Third Google Cloud Specialization
Google Cloud Premier Partner Appsbroker, headquartered in Swindon, UK, announced on 15 June 2020 that it had achieved the Infrastructure Partner Specialization in the Google Cloud Partner Advantage Program. The recognition marks the company’s third specialization in the program, joining previously earned specializations in Data Analytics and Application Development.
What the Infrastructure Specialization Means
Specializations within the Google Cloud Partner Advantage Program are awarded to partners that demonstrate measurable technical proficiency and a proven track record in defined solution and service areas. To earn the Infrastructure Specialization, a partner must show expertise in:
- Architecting and building Google Cloud Platform (GCP) infrastructure and workflows
- Designing and executing migrations to Google Cloud Platform
- Delivering reliable, scalable infrastructure solutions to enterprise customers
The program is designed to help Google Cloud customers identify qualified partners with verified skills in specialist areas, reducing the risk of selecting an integration or consulting partner.
Context: A Strong Year for Appsbroker
The Infrastructure Specialization announcement came shortly after Appsbroker received the 2019 Google Cloud Specialization Partner of the Year Award for Application Development. The company also holds the distinction of being named as an initial launch partner for Google Cloud Anthos, Google’s hybrid and multi-cloud application management platform.

Why Google Cloud Specializations Matter for Buyers
For DevOps teams and IT decision-makers evaluating Google Cloud system integrators, a partner’s specialization status serves as an independently verified signal of technical competence. Google’s Partner Advantage Program requires partners to meet defined criteria — including certified staff counts, customer success references, and solution assessments — before a specialization is granted. Holding multiple specializations indicates breadth of expertise across distinct GCP practice areas, which can be a useful filter when scoping complex, multi-workload cloud engagements.
