SAP and Google Cloud
In order to provide what customers want most faster routes to business value, reduced risk on complicated projects, and intelligent, enterprise-ready innovation that is designed to serve actual workloads rather than speculative use cases SAP and Google Cloud are expanding their partnership in a number of areas, including data analytics, artificial intelligence, security, and more.
Google Cloud is announced many upgrades at SAP Sapphire 2025 that will deliver Google Cloud’s top infrastructure to SAP clients’ most demanding workloads, enable new AI agents and capabilities with Gemini and Agentspace, and streamline how customers access SAP data with BigQuery.
AI collaboration that drives business value
The foundation of the collaboration between SAP and Google Cloud is AI. It is showcasing advances that will assist corporate clients in integrating cutting-edge AI technology with SAP data and processes, allowing for quantifiable effect without having to start from scratch.
Building AI-powered applications: Full access to top foundation models, an SDK for SAP’s ABAP language, and Model Garden a centralized location for searching, finding, and interacting with Google and Google partner models that have already been integrated are all offered by the Vertex AI platform. With data from SAP systems, these capabilities may help SAP clients improve business processes like invoice settlement, enable generative AI chatbots that offer quicker, more accurate customer care, and create customized marketing material.
Bringing Gemini to SAP Joule: Joule, SAP’s native agentic intelligence layer that allows AI-powered agents to function across SAP apps, is still being developed and improved. These agents may now use Google Cloud’s most sophisticated language models to provide more intelligent, self-governing behaviour with the addition of more recent Gemini models integrated into SAP’s Generative AI Hub on SAP BTP. Customers may now grow AI agent applications that meet corporate requirements for governance, data localization, and operational control by leveraging the 10 SAP BTP regions that are accessible on Google Cloud worldwide.
Accessing SAP data in Agentspace: Users can simplify task automation and protect company knowledge access across many systems, apps, and data formats with Google Agentspace, which unifies access to enterprise agents and applications, including SAP agents. This gives staff members the ability to use corporate intelligence in any of their existing tools, including well-known partner CRM, IT, and data platforms. In the employee’s current workplace, access to AI agents, structured and unstructured data, and contextual suggestions is enhanced when SAP data is accessed through Agentspace.
Enabling Agent2Agent interoperability: SAP participates in and supports Google Cloud’s Agent2Agent (A2A) interoperability standard, which allows AI agents on different platforms to safely share context, communicate, and collaborate to accomplish business goals. To replace manual, fragile integrations with autonomous, standards-based cooperation, a SAP orchestrator may use A2A to activate a Vertex AI agent utilising BigQuery with complete context.
AI-powered SAP operations with Gemini: In order to provide quicker, more smarter SAP operations at scale, SAP and Google Cloud are collaborating on AI co-innovations as client adoption of RISE with SAP keeps increasing. In order to reduce outages, improve performance, and expedite troubleshooting, It has collaborated with SAP to build specialized AI agents that are driven by the most recent Gemini models.
AMD, for instance, is using Google’s AI capabilities to enhance SAP user experiences. The business created a number of generation AI chatbots that enable teams in charge of finance, human resources, and customer support to access SAP systems using natural language. While a financial chatbot developed with Vertex AI and Cortex Framework speeds up cash-flow forecasting, a customer operations chatbot retrieves information about order scheduling and delivery to assist in providing prompt answers to customers’ enquiries.
Unlock and enrich the value of enterprise data
Only when enterprise data is current, integrated, and actionable does it have real value. To do this, users may take advantage of BigQuery’s speed, which is increased by Cortex Framework. For important systems (such as SAP, Google Ads, and other business data sources), Cortex offers prebuilt models that facilitate integration of real-time signals and linkages to diverse data. This improves operational agility, analytics, and AI preparation by creating a solid data model from your current reality that is prepared for BigQuery’s native ML to assist you in taking proactive action on possibilities.
Cortex is used by Suzano, the largest pulp manufacturer in the world and a Google Cloud RISE with SAP client, to centralize its massive operational data, which was previously hard for its employees throughout the world to access. The business then created a new AI tool that converts natural language enquiries from staff members into SQL queries, making it simple for non-technical people to extract insights from SAP data. This resulted in 90% less time spent consulting data, greatly democratised data access, and facilitated quicker, better-informed decision-making throughout the company.
In order to make SAP data instantaneously available for AI, analytics, and visualization without transferring workloads off of SAP, SAP and Google Cloud are still working together to collaboratively build data connections between SAP source systems and BigQuery utilizing SAP Business Data Cloud. Clients may use data they currently trust and technologies they are familiar with to create new insight pipelines.
Leading infrastructure for SAP workloads
For your SAP systems, selecting the appropriate cloud infrastructure is essential. New SAP-optimized virtual machines (M4 and C4D families) are now available from Google Cloud, which are intended to improve your company’s productivity and performance. The most efficient memory-optimized VM Compute Engine instances are provided by M4, which is widely accessible and gives up to 127% greater performance at 36% better TCO than earlier generations. This implies that you may save expenses and operate your essential SAP tasks much more quickly.
The industry-leading single instance 99.95% uptime service level agreement (SLA) is now supported by Google Cloud infrastructure, which was built from the ground up for outstanding security and dependability to reduce interruption to your company’s vital activities. Additionally, you can securely run even the most demanding S/4HANA systems under RISE at enterprise size with enhanced large-scale X4 instances, guaranteeing that your IT infrastructure grows with your business goals rather than against them.
Enhancing security and compliance
Google Cloud’s comprehensive, multi-layered security strategy, which begins with secure-by-design global infrastructure and data encryption by default, lowers risk right away and protects your important company data and vital SAP systems. Google Unified Security improves this by offering centralized security administration, continuous monitoring, and precise access limits for proactive threat visibility throughout your SAP environment. Google Cloud’s unique Assured Workloads control platform, which supports ITAR for SAP Ariba and RISE with SAP, makes compliance possible for critical SAP workloads, particularly in the public sector. In order to reduce the effect on the company and improve operational resilience, this combination of Google Cloud technologies helps to assure compliance operations while enabling quick detection, analysis, and neutralization of complex threats.
