Google Cloud and SAP partner to accelerate Cloud powered Business Transformation

Google Cloud has now expanded its partnership with the ERP giant SAP by becoming a strategic partner for its ‘Rise with SAP’ offering.

The announcement comes months after the company launched Rise with SAP in the month of January to make its customer business digital transformation journey smoother.

Rob Enslin, President at Google Cloud, said, "Google Cloud and SAP share a commitment to supporting customer success and growth. We’re delighted to partner with SAP to accelerate business’ digital transformations with SAP on Google Cloud and with next-generation cloud capabilities. Through support for RISE with SAP and in-depth integrations between SAP and Google Cloud, this new partnership will enable customers to seamlessly bring their most critical business systems and applications to a future-proof, secure, and low-latency environment and to run them sustainably, on the industry’s cleanest cloud."

Thomas Saueressig, member of the Executive Board of SAP SE and responsible for SAP Product Engineering, said, "RISE with SAP has been adopted by customers who want to accelerate their journey toward becoming an Intelligent Enterprise. We are now expanding our partnership with Google Cloud to further customer success. Offering integration between SAP solutions, SAP BTP, and Google Cloud infrastructure and capabilities in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and analytics gives customers both the choice they desire as well as the innovative portfolio they seek to transform their businesses in the cloud.

Adding Google Cloud to the "Rise with the SAP" program will allow the customers of both the SAP and Google to manage some of the critical business systems on the cloud, tap into Google solutions in the AI and Machine learning and run existing business systems on the GCP (Google Cloud Platform).

The Rise partnership is expected to scale customer cloud and business process migrations, while the customers will also be able to use the SAP analytics cloud and SAP data warehouse cloud solutions, which are within the SAP business technology platform.
