New integrations will allow customers to leverage collaborative features of Google Docs and Google Sheets directly from within their SAP software workflows
Google Cloud and SAP 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.
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 organisations 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.
“The move to hybrid work signals enterprises can no longer rely on legacy toolsets that can create silos and barriers to collaboration. 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,” said Javier Soltero, Vice President and General Manager, Google Workspace.
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.
