Google Cloud announced a new partnership with the government of El Salvador, establishing an office in the country and providing Google Distributed Cloud (GDC) services. The partnership aims to achieve national digitalization, update government services, and improve healthcare and education systems. GDC will also help bring infrastructure closer to El Salvador's data generating locations. The partnership will last for 7 years, subject to full approval by the legislative body, and will help the government achieve digitization of projects and processes such as invoices and permits.
