One NZ is one of Aotearoa’s leading telecommunications and technology companies. As part of its forward-thinking strategy, the organisation identified an opportunity to mature its Google Cloud capabilities. The goal was to establish a best-practice foundation that would ensure all new and existing workloads could be managed consistently, securely, and efficiently, creating a platform for future growth and innovation. They needed a preferred Google partner with a proven playbook for delivering complex foundational projects in an enterprise environment.

Our approach

01 - Discovery and requirements capture

The engagement began with a collaborative discovery phase to capture One NZ’s specific organisational requirements. Our Google Cloud-certified practitioners worked closely with key stakeholders, conducting a series of intensive workshops that covered critical areas, including security, networking, identity, and billing. This process ensured we had a comprehensive understanding of their existing multi-cloud landscape and their broader business and governance objectives.

02 - Architecting the secure-by-design blueprint

With the requirements clearly defined, our focus shifted to architecting the strategic blueprint for the Google Cloud Landing Zone. This detailed design served as the master plan, establishing a secure-by-design, zero-trust approach. By defining the foundational environment with all the necessary security and networking controls, the blueprint provided the One NZ team with a clear and robust plan for their implementation, ensuring all future workloads would inherit a strong security posture from day one.

03 - An evolving partnership

Recognising that a foundation is just the beginning, the partnership evolved beyond the initial design work. A specialist cloud consulting arrangement was established, which provided the One NZ team with flexible, on-demand access to Dynamo6’s expert consultants. This ongoing "phone a friend" support ensures they have the strategic guidance and specialist skills they need as they continue to build, innovate, and maximise their investment in their new cloud foundation.

"Establishing a best-practice Google Cloud Landing Zone in a complex enterprise environment is a significant undertaking. The Dynamo6 team brought the deep technical expertise and structured approach we needed to get it right. They didn't just come in with a one-size-fits-all solution; they took the time to understand our requirements and architected a foundation that is both secure and flexible. For me, what has been most impressive is how this work enables our own people. The foundation gives our teams the guardrails they need. Dynamo6 has been a key partner in setting us up for future success on the platform."
