Google Cloud and SAP have announced an expanded alliance to help customers execute business transformations, migrate critical business systems to the cloud and augment existing business systems with Google Cloud capabilities in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML).

As part of the expanded partnership, Google Cloud will be a strategic cloud partner for the RISE with SAP offering. The duo will join hands to accelerate customers’ cloud migrations and business process migrations.

In addition, customers can benefit from the planned global availability of multiple SAP services and products on Google Cloud’s reliable, scalable cloud infrastructure and high-speed network, including the SAP Analytics Cloud and SAP Data Warehouse Cloud solutions within SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP).

“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,” said Rob Enslin, president at Google Cloud.
