SAP and Google Cloud expand partnership

The new offering is designed to simplify data landscapes. Existing customers will be able to build an end-to-end data cloud and merge data from the ERP system landscape into Google's data cloud using the SAP Datasphere solution. Data is the cornerstone of digitization and artificial intelligence development. Companies spend significant resources developing complex data integrations, custom analytics engines, and generative AI and natural language processing models before they see any initial value from their data investments. Data from SAP systems, in particular, is one of the most valuable assets for companies, as it can include critical information about, for example, supply chains, financial forecasts, HR data, and various retail sales channels.

Datasphere combines this business-critical data with data from across an organization's IT landscape. By merging SAP and third-party data into Google Cloud from virtually any data source, companies can give their digitization a significant boost with the help of a fully defined database that preserves the entire business context. "When companies unify their SAP systems and data with Google's data cloud, it opens up a whole new set of opportunities for them to get greater value from their entire data assets," said SAP CEO Christian Klein. "SAP and Google Cloud are both committed to the free usability of data. Our expanded partnership will help break down the barriers between data in different systems, databases and environments. As a result, customers will benefit not only from the artificial intelligence already built into our systems, but also from a unified data foundation."

The integration between Datasphere and Google Cloud BigQuery enables customers to access their most important data in real time without duplicating data. This joint offering can bring together data from SAP systems, such as S/4, and SAP Hana Cloud, providing companies with a comprehensive view of their core data in Google's data cloud.
