GlobalLogic Inc. (hereinafter GlobalLogic), a US subsidiary of Hitachi, Ltd. (hereinafter Hitachi) and a leading company in digital engineering, announced at "Google Cloud Next 2026," held in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, from Wednesday, April 22 to Friday, April 24, that it has launched "VelocityAI," a suite of services that supports the development and implementation of GlobalLogic's AI agents, on the Google Cloud Marketplace, based on Gemini Enterprise applications and the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform.
This powerful synergy will enable companies to move beyond the experimental phase of partial AI adoption and transition to scalable, production-ready AI implementations that are integrated with Google Cloud's AI technologies.
Furthermore, GlobalLogic announced two new solutions available on Google Cloud Marketplace: "Complex Enterprise Transformation" and "Physical AI & IT/OT Convergence." These solutions facilitate easy AI adoption in diverse industries such as manufacturing/industrial, financial services, retail, and healthcare & life sciences.
Srini Shankar, President and CEO of GlobalLogic and CEO of Hitachi Digital Services, stated, "Through our strategic partnership with Hitachi and Google Cloud*1, and our continuous investment in Gemini Enterprise, we strongly support enterprise customers in responsibly deploying agentic AI and physical AI solutions at scale. VelocityAI, powered by Google Cloud and Gemini, provides an integrated intelligence layer connecting software, enterprise workflows, and physical systems.

A 2025 MIT report*2 indicated that a majority of enterprise AI initiatives fail to move beyond the pilot stage due to a lack of strategy, insufficient data governance, and failed integration into workflows. VelocityAI solves these implementation challenges by combining AI, digital engineering, and human-centered design to transform bold ideas into tangible business outcomes.
By combining VelocityAI with Google Cloud's infrastructure and "Gemini Enterprise," a powerful AI foundation for enterprise data, companies can move beyond experimental AI adoption to company-wide AI implementation in the following three areas, ensuring security, compliance, and scalability:
- Enterprise AI: Providing intelligent workflows and products for operational efficiency.
- Physical AI: Linking digital intelligence with real-world physical systems.
- AI-Powered SDLC*3: Accelerating the entire software development lifecycle using AI.
