SAP and Google Cloud to build the future of open data and AI for enterprises

CLOUD SYSTEMS
“ 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 . “ 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 Datasphere combines this mission-critical data with data from across the enterprise landscape , regardless of its origin .

SAP and Google Cloud have have established 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 estate in real-time and maximise value from their Google Cloud and SAP software investments .

Data is the cornerstone of digital transformation and AI development . Organisations spend significant resources building complex data integrations , custom analytics engines and generative AI and natural language processing ( NLP ) models before they start to realise value from their data investments . Data originating from SAP systems , in particular , are among organisations ’ 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 organisations can dramatically accelerate their Digital Transformation with a fully-defined data foundation that retains complete business context .
“ SAP and Google Cloud now offer an incredibly comprehensive and open data cloud , providing a foundation for the future of enterprise AI ,” added 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 utilise our analytics capabilities , as well as advanced AI tools and large language models to find new insights from their data .”
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 . �
