SAP and Google Cloud expand their cloud partnership

SAP and Google Cloud are expanding their cloudy partnership by introducing an open data offering.

They claim it will enable customers to build an end-to-end data cloud that brings data from across the enterprise landscape using the SAP Datasphere solution and Google’s data cloud.

This means that customer can view their data in real-time and maximise value from their Google Cloud and SAP software investments. SAP Datasphere mixes this data with data from across the enterprise.

The pair claim partners and customers can combine SAP software and non-SAP data on Google Cloud, from virtually any other data source.

SAP CEO Christian Klein said 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.

“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.”

Google cloud CEO Thomas Kurian said: “SAP and Google Cloud now offer an incredibly comprehensive and open data cloud, providing a foundation for the future of enterprise AI.”

“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 utilise our analytics capabilities, as well as advanced AI tools and large language models to find new insights from their data.”
