Streamlining SAP cloud-app development with Google Distributed Cloud

⇨ An open cloud platform like Google Distributed Cloud (GDC) enhances interconnectivity among enterprise applications, enabling seamless app delivery across various cloud environments.

⇨ The integration of SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) within GDC facilitates rapid development, deployment, and management of both cloud-based and on-premise applications, thereby improving operational efficiency.

⇨ GDC aims to provide customers, especially in the public sector and regulated enterprises, with greater control and independence over their sensitive data and mission-critical business processes through a comprehensive service model.

An open cloud platform can help provide interconnectivity between all enterprise apps, in doing so enabling app delivery to different cloud environments; the belief is that a common development and operations approach can better equip enterprises to meet whatever business challenge needs immediate prioritization.

Google Distributed Cloud, or GDC, is a solution that leans heavily into utilizing an open cloud strategy by creating, maintaining and enhancing partnerships with other, open-source marketplace offerings. By hosting other solutions and tools that can accelerate app development, like SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP), GDC can help create specialized and unique experiences for SAP apps.

Effective and innovative open cloud-development platforms can bring together several factors to provide users with an ideal environment for innovation. For example, SAP BTP brings together application development and automation, data and analytics, integration, and AI capabilities in one unified environment.

Through using SAP BTP hosted on GDC, both on-premise and cloud-based applications are supported through a comprehensive service that can allow users to rapidly build, deploy and manage apps across a range of different cloud environments or industries. By enabling cloud apps, on-premise apps and other processes to seamlessly connect, a real-time view of device analytics can be observed.

“SAP Business Technology Platform hosted on Google Distributed Cloud aims to enable customers across the public sector and regulated enterprises to have the independence and control they need for their most sensitive data and mission critical business processes,” said Michael Ameling, SVP, head of BTP Foundation & Intelligent Enterprise, Technology & Innovation, SAP.

Reflecting on the SAP capabilities now available to GDC users, Ameling explained, “Customers that require an air-gapped environment can innovate faster by integrating business processes with artificial intelligence, data and analytics, application development and automation.”

Google Distributed Cloud can host and provide the necessary tools for users to take full advantage of the open cloud environment – tools like SAP BTP, that can help streamline interoperability between disparate applications, in turn providing a boost for overall operational efficiency.
