SAP and Google Cloud Expand Partnership
SAP SE and
Google Cloud announced an extensive expansion of their partnership, introducing
a comprehensive open data offering designed to simplify data landscapes and
unleash the power of business data. The offering enables customers to build an
end-to-end data cloud that brings data from across the enterprise landscape
using the SAP® Datasphere solution together with Google's data cloud, so
businesses can view their entire data estates in real time and maximize value
from their Google Cloud and SAP software investments.
Data
is the cornerstone of digital transformation and AI development. Organizations
spend significant resources building complex data integrations, custom
analytics engines, and generative AI and natural language processing (NLP)
models before they start to realize value from their data investments. Data
originating from SAP systems, in particular, are among organizations' most
valuable assets and can contain critical information on supply chains,
financial forecasting, human resources records, omnichannel retail, and more.
SAP Datasphere combines this mission-critical data with data from across the
enterprise landscape, regardless of its origin. Being able to easily combine
SAP software data and non-SAP data on Google Cloud, from virtually any other
data source, means organizations can dramatically accelerate their digital
transformation with a fully-defined data foundation that retains complete
business context.
"Bringing
together SAP systems and data with Google's data cloud introduces entirely new
opportunities for enterprises to derive more value from their full data
footprints," said Christian
Klein, CEO and member of the Executive Board of SAP SE. "SAP
and Google Cloud share a commitment to open data and our extended partnership
will help break down barriers between data stored in disparate systems,
databases, and environments. Our customers not only benefit from the business
AI already built into our systems, but also from a unified data
foundation."
"SAP
and Google Cloud now offer an incredibly comprehensive and open data cloud,
providing a foundation for the future of enterprise AI," said Thomas Kurian,
CEO at Google Cloud. "Few resources are as important to digital
transformation as data. By deeply integrating SAP data and systems with our
data cloud, customers will be able to utilize our analytics capabilities, as
well as advanced AI tools and large language models to find new insights from
their data."
