Google Cloud and SAP, Europe's biggest software company, have announced a partnership to make it easier for businesses to integrate AI into their operations, Bloomberg reports.
The collaboration aims to help customers across different sectors, such as supply chain management, inventory management, marketing, and commerce.
The partnership will provide customers with tools to combine data from various sources, allowing for more streamlined and effective use of AI.
What the Partnership Means for Users
The partnership is expected to help Google Cloud expand its business as it looks to compete with Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure in the cloud computing market. By leveraging its expertise in AI, Google Cloud hopes to attract more customers and gain a larger share of the cloud computing market.
AAG data suggests that Google Cloud started 2023 with an 11% market share, increasing by 1% in Q4 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. After the first quarter of 2023, Google Cloud's market share fell to 10%. Despite this, Google Cloud is still trailing behind the rivals mentioned above.
Meanwhile, software maker SAP has been focusing on building its cloud business and strengthening its partnerships to stay ahead of competitors in the software market.
The partnership between Google Cloud and SAP is expected to help customers "harmonize" their data sets, making it easier to streamline their operations.
The integration of data from different sources would allow for more efficient management of stock levels.
Bringing the Power of Data to Businesses
Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian said the partnership would bring the power of data and AI to businesses, enabling them to transform their operations. The collaboration will allow SAP's customers to use Google Cloud's AI tools, making it easier for companies to integrate AI into their operations.
SAP CEO Christian Klein said that the partnership with Google Cloud is the front-runner for the company, despite SAP's existing partnerships with other cloud companies. The collaboration is expected to help SAP's customers take advantage of the latest AI tools and technologies.
The partnership between Google Cloud and SAP comes at a time when businesses are increasingly looking to leverage AI to streamline their operations and gain a competitive edge.
Integrating data from different sources will make it easier for businesses to analyze and use data effectively, helping them make more informed decisions.
