New integrations will allow customers to leverage collaborative
features of Google Docs and Google Sheets directly from within
their SAP® software workflows
SUNNYVALE, Calif, and WALLDORF, Germany, May 4, 2022
/PRNewswire/ -- Google Cloud and SAP SE (NYSE: SAP) today announced
an expansion of their relationship, unveiling new integrations
between Google Workspace and SAP's flagship cloud ERP, SAP S/4HANA®
Cloud. These native integrations will allow customers to connect
core SAP® software designed for running all mission-critical
processes in the cloud, with the collaborative capabilities of
Google Docs and Google Sheets to innovate how work gets done across
the enterprise.
SAP is a leading ERP software provider for enterprises. Its RISE
with SAP solution provides a comprehensive set of products and
services – including SAP S/4HANA Cloud – to help companies on their
journey toward becoming intelligent and sustainable enterprises.
Google Workspace enables teams of all sizes to connect, create and
collaborate—to drive innovation from any device, and any location.
Built on the industry's leading cloud-native communication and
collaboration platform, Google Workspace brings together the apps
loved by billions of people — Gmail, Chat, Calendar, Drive, Docs,
Sheets, Meet and more — into a single integrated workspace.
Google Docs and Google Sheets, integrated with SAP S/4HANA
Cloud, will enable new business capabilities, use cases, and
opportunities for collaborative tasks within small and large
organizations alike. First scenarios are planned in finance and in
many additional solution areas, where data exports and
collaborative document management create a more seamless user
experience, with more to follow. Customer benefits include:
- The efficiency of ready integration, enabling users to adopt
the solution quickly.
- The ability to export and import data between SAP software and
Google Docs and Google Sheets for instant access to real-time
editing and simultaneous collaborative engagements on these
documents and spreadsheets.
- The confidence of having a clean data source due to the
one-step integration, which enables version control and removes
layers of potential translation when sharing application data and
documents.
For example, imagine a finance specialist working on SAP S/4HANA
Cloud to manage financial records in a safe, reliable, and
compliant manner. The employee will be able to access Google Docs
and Google Sheets to edit documents collaboratively, as part of
their standard business processes, knowing that SAP S/4HANA Cloud
provides a clean data source with version control and process
reliability.
"Native integration with Google Docs and Google Sheets has been
a common request from many joint customers," said Philipp Herzig, SVP, Head of Intelligent
Enterprise & Cross Architecture, SAP. "This integration will
further pave the way for people to work collaboratively on any
business documents and manage them closely along with their most
critical business processes and data managed through SAP – all in
the cloud"
"The move to hybrid work signals enterprises can no longer rely
on legacy tool sets that can create silos and barriers to
collaboration," said Javier Soltero,
Vice President and General Manager, Google Workspace. "With the
expansion of our partnership with SAP, these new in-depth
integrations will enable employees working in complex datasets
within SAP S4/HANA to tap into the real-time collaboration
capabilities of Google Workspace, enabling teams to simultaneously
access SAP data and more efficiently drive projects forward."
The initial set of features is planned to be included as a
standard functionality in SAP S/4HANA Cloud later this year. It is
being built on SAP Business Technology Platform, enabling its tight
integration and a consistent user experience across SAP software
supporting business processes end-to-end.
