Innovating for SAP customers with Google Cloud

The world’s largest businesses run SAP applications, and increasingly, they’re doing it on Google Cloud. Since announcing our partnership with SAP two years ago, we’ve been expanding our support for SAP customers, from providing global virtualized compute infrastructure with 6 and 12 TB instances for SAP HANA workloads to partnerships with solutions providers such as Accenture, Deloitte, Atos, and Hitachi/Oxya that deliver services for application management, migrations and innovation.

Today, we’re sharing the latest updates on our partnership and how we’re ensuring Google Cloud is the best place to run SAP workloads

Empowering more SAP customers
More and more customers are running mission-critical SAP applications on Google Cloud, including ATB Financial, Carrefour and MediaMarktSaturn Retail Group, and we are continuing to see growth with long-time customers including Tory Burch and The Home Depot, who is now running SAP CAR, EWM and BW in production on Google Cloud. At the recent Google Cloud Next ‘19 in San Francisco, McKesson and Metro AG shared insights into why they chose Google Cloud for their SAP landscapes.

We also continue to expand our ecosystem in support of SAP customers’ journey to S/4 HANA, by working with partners such as Gekkobrain who help automate custom code migration and SNP Group who help automate data migration. In addition, we have built joint centers of excellence with strategic partners like Accenture, Deloitte, Atos, and Hitachi/Oxya. Together, these partnerships simplify migrations and upgrades for Google Cloud customers.

Introducing SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud as a fully managed service on GCP
We’re also delighted that SAP will bring its HANA Enterprise Cloud (HEC) to GCP, allowing HEC customers to take advantage of Google Cloud’s secure, modern and reliable global infrastructure and capabilities in AI, ML, and analytics. HEC will be offered as a fully managed service on GCP, delivering a flexible operating model to help customers reduce operational complexity.

For customers that require specific compliance certifications and a specialized set of security practices, we’ve also partnered with SAP NS2 Cloud to deliver Secure HANA Cloud on Google Cloud.
