Google Seeks to Refocus on the Cloud with a Machine Learning Platform

IBM is probably the lower hanging fruit in this case, but Google is now investing resources into a new Cloud Machine Learning product that it hopes will make it competitive in the Cloud industry against the likes of Amazon, Microsoft, and IBM. The company has slowly lost pace with the rest of the industry in the last few years. There's no good reason for losing ground other than focus. Now, that the company has reorganized under Alphabet, it appears Google is back to being interested in innovating and cutting off the slough that has been weighing it down. If Google can minimize distractions and retain focus long enough, it could still have a shot somewhere in the Cloud industry.
