In today's digital age, the development of artificial intelligence (AI) and digital transformation heavily relies on data. Organizations invest significant resources in establishing complex data connections, advanced analytics engines, and generative AI and natural language processing models.
SAP recognizes this critical need and offers the SAP Datasphere solution, which integrates crucial data from SAP systems across the entire business landscape. This integration allows businesses to effortlessly combine SAP software data with non-SAP data from any other source on Google Cloud, facilitating seamless data management and analysis.
SAP SE and Google Cloud have joined forces to enhance collaboration through an innovative open data offering. The new partnership aims to revolutionize data management and unleash the potential of business data by enabling customers to build a comprehensive end-to-end data cloud. By leveraging SAP's Datasphere solution with Google's data cloud, organizations can gain real-time insights into their entire data landscape, maximizing the value of their investments in SAP software and Google Cloud.
Optimizing data access and Analytics
Customers now have the advantage of leveraging the integration between SAP Datasphere and Google Cloud BigQuery, eliminating the need for data duplication. Additionally, the collaboration combines data from SAP software platforms like SAP S/4HANA and SAP HANA Cloud, providing organizations with a comprehensive understanding of their most valuable data on Google's data cloud. Furthermore, customers can harness the power of Google Cloud's artificial intelligence and machine learning services to train models using SAP and non-SAP systems data.
Driving business insights and sustainability
Integrating SAP Analytics Cloud in Google Cloud empowers organizations to analyze financial and business outcomes while increasing model accuracy. Moreover, SAP and Google Cloud are exploring ways to combine SAP Datasphere with extensive environmental, social, and governance data sets, utilizing Google Cloud's insights to expedite sustainability journeys and provide valuable insights.
The collaboration between SAP and Google Cloud allows customers to adopt data products from both companies and leverage the SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) capabilities on Google Cloud. The SAP BTP is set to launch in five new regions this year, with plans for further expansion into eight regions by 2025. This expansion will enable businesses worldwide to optimize data management and accelerate digital transformation efforts.
SAP has also established strategic partnerships with leading AI and data management companies such as Collibra NV, Confluent Inc, Databricks Inc, and DataRobot Inc. These collaborations aim to enhance the functionality of SAP Datasphere, providing customers with cutting-edge tools to unlock the full potential of their data.
