    Want to go direct, as this is a bit of a political exercise, going via a 3rd party would water down the message.

    Does your client already use any services from those companies? If so, then you may already have a relationship with them and perhaps an Account Manager so you could approach them.

    I attended an event at my last company where the E-Commerce team had some senior guys from Facebook come to present at their team meeting. It probably helped that the company has one of the biggest e-commerce websites in the UK

    PM me, I have some contacts at Google Enterprise and they'd be very happy to sell those ideas and services.

    Google and Amazon will probably tell you to host it on their kit/cloud

    I presume you're willing to pay... have a look and see who's churned out a few articles on the subject and seems to be well respected and try them
