New Offering Unites SAP with Google Cloud's Data and Analytics TechnologySAP and Google Cloud Expand Partnership to Build the Future of Open Data and AI for EnterprisesNew offering will unite SAP with Google Cloud's data and analytics technology, making enterprise data more open and valuable and advancing enterprise AI developmentSAP 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." SAP and Google Cloud's new open data offering compliments the RISE with SAP solution and will enable customers to:
The companies also plan to partner on joint go-to-market initiatives for enterprises' largest data projects, enabling customers to adopt data products from both SAP and Google Cloud. Visitors to the SAP Sapphire® conference can see demos of joint AI and data solutions at Google Cloud's booth. These include how enterprises can apply generative AI to common workflows and applications, such as using a chatbot to search, create, and edit purchase requests.
