Summary
Swiss sportswear brand On used a multi-agent architecture to migrate 24 critical services to Google Cloud. According to the two companies, migration time per service fell from three months to two weeks, with less than five minutes of planned downtime. A small team of in-house engineers carried out 15 migrations without an external integrator, with AI agents handling repetitive tasks such as writing scripts and validating environments. A $500,000 quote from an external provider for only part of the project is mentioned. The consolidation is also meant to allow Gemini Enterprise to be rolled out to all employees, so they can build no-code agents for reporting, market research or onboarding new hires.
