Singapore – SAP and Google Cloud have deepened their partnership in data and analytics with the launch of SAP Business Data Cloud (BDC) Connect for Google BigQuery, a new integration designed to improve enterprise access to data.
The capability enables direct, bidirectional sharing between SAP’s BDC and Google BigQuery without requiring data replication.
The collaboration aims to make it easier for organisations to use trusted SAP data for analytics and AI initiatives. By linking SAP BDC’s governed data environment with Google BigQuery’s AI and data infrastructure, enterprises can gain faster insights, simplify data management, and advance their digital transformation efforts.
Christian Klein, CEO of SAP SE, mentioned that the expansion of the partnership between SAP and Google Cloud builds on a long history of empowering global enterprises to harness the power of data and AI.
“Bringing together Google BigQuery and SAP BDC gives our customers choice without compromise, enabling them to fast-track their analytics and AI initiatives,” Christian said.
Enterprise data has traditionally been divided across multiple systems, making it difficult to maintain accuracy and act on information in real time. Conventional extract, transform and load (ETL) processes often result in duplicated data, creating challenges in governance and reliability.
The new integration between SAP and Google Cloud removes the need for ETL pipelines, allowing real-time access to live data for analytics, automation, and intelligent workflows.
As the first hyperscale provider to integrate with SAP BDC Connect, Google Cloud enables organisations to securely combine SAP’s structured business data with other datasets stored in BigQuery. This provides a unified view of operations that can support advanced analytics solutions and AI-driven applications.
“Businesses are combining intelligence and automation into every aspect of their operations,” Thomas Kurian, CEO of Google Cloud, mentioned.
“By uniting SAP BDC and BigQuery, we’re making it easy for enterprises to build a unified data foundation that breaks down silos and unlocks a new class of AI agents and applications.”
The partnership introduces a zero-copy data fabric that directly links SAP’s business data with Google Cloud’s ecosystem, including Gemini models and the Vertex AI platform. This infrastructure supports the creation of AI systems and agents capable of operating across key business functions such as supply chain management, finance, and operations.
Through this new integration, organisations can securely access live, semantically rich SAP data without duplication, develop autonomous AI agents using Google Cloud’s Vertex AI, and Gemini tools to automate complex business processes.
Additionally, this also supports the combining of SAP information with more datasets from Google Maps, Google Trends, and public sources to generate deeper insights, and interact with business data in natural language to obtain immediate, AI-powered responses.
Google Cloud is offering partner and customer programmes to encourage early adoption of the joint solution.
SAP BDC is currently available in Google Cloud regions across Asia-Pacific, Europe, and the United States, with further regional expansion planned.
The SAP BDC Connect for Google BigQuery integration is expected to become generally available in the first half of 2026.
