Health information technology company McKesson has inked a technology collaboration with Google Cloud, whereby Google Cloud will become McKesson’s preferred cloud provider.

In a statement, McKesson said the company plans to implement Google Cloud Platform (GCP) across its enterprise as the foundation for new infrastructure, platforms, applications and analytics workloads.

McKesson says its cloud-first approach is expected to transform how the company manages its information services–transitioning from a predominantly on-premises operating model to a hybrid, cloud-based services model.
