Rise with SAP's integrated consulting services will ensure a smooth cloud transformation of the SAP core systems. This decision underlines the Federal Employment Agency's strategic focus on modernizing its IT infrastructure while complying with the highest security and data protection standards. 

Resilient administration

The move to the cloud lays the foundation for a future-proof, resilient and innovation-oriented administration. "We are relying on Rise with SAP to make the Federal Employment Agency's IT landscape not only more efficient and citizen-oriented, but above all more resilient and future-proof," says Stefan Latuski, Chief Information Officer at the Federal Employment Agency. "At a time when reliability, flexibility and the ability to innovate are increasingly crucial, our approach is exemplary for modern and scalable administration in Germany."

Government cloud pioneer

Within the Federal Employment Agency, 113,000 employees support citizens every day with financial benefits such as unemployment benefit and child benefit. With over 100 IT processes, the agency's IT landscape is one of the largest in Germany. 

The planned migration of disbursement systems to SAP's private cloud offering shows that system-critical and complex public sector systems can be transferred to a cloud operated in Germany. The Federal Employment Agency is one of the most advanced public institutions in Germany to efficiently digitalize its business processes with the help of SAP cloud technologies. "By using Rise with SAP, the Federal Employment Agency is taking an important step in the right direction. Together, we are setting new standards in the digitalization of public administration," explains Thomas Saueressig, member of the SAP Executive Board responsible for Customer Services and Delivery, adding: "The Federal Employment Agency's decision to join us as SAP on the path to the cloud shows that we are on the right track: With determination and partnership, we are moving from fundamental debate to implementation. Acting instead of struggling - that's how real transformation succeeds."

Digital sovereignty

By choosing Rise with SAP, the Federal Employment Agency is relying on a fully certified cloud infrastructure that meets the highest security and compliance standards and is tailored specifically to the requirements of the public sector. 

In addition, SAP's sovereign cloud capability enables it to meet strict data protection and compliance requirements by storing and processing data in German data centers. This ensures that sensitive information remains under the control of the Federal Agency while benefiting from the advantages of the cloud. 

Last year, SAP announced a multi-billion euro investment program in the development of key technologies tailored to the needs of the public sector and highly regulated industries. Over the next ten years, SAP plans to invest over two billion euros in the development of highly secure, local and regulatory compliant cloud offerings in this country. The holistic product portfolio aims to meet the specific requirements of public and regulated customers in the areas of autonomy and data control. (rk)
