If there is one company well-versed in managing data growth, it's Google. Four years ago, the online giant began implementing various projects and platforms. Soon, however, Google executives realized their treasury infrastructure would not scale to meet the company's future needs.

Google Treasurer Brent Callinicos threw down the gauntlet, asking his team to develop an infrastructure that would fix the department's inefficiencies and prepare for dramatic growth in the transaction volumes and types of supported assets the company might face in the future.

A 10-employee team worked with external vendors to pick up Callinicos' challenge and completed four separate projects that addressed the treasury's scalability issues over the past 12 months.
