SAP and business workloads on Google Cloud, with SAP data ready for BigQuery and AI.
We plan, build and operate SAP and non-SAP workloads on Google Cloud, from RISE with SAP on Google Cloud to self-managed SAP HANA on certified Compute Engine machines. You get a secure Google Cloud estate in Mumbai or Delhi, with SAP data flowing into BigQuery and Gemini for analytics and AI.
Why run SAP on Google Cloud
Most companies want more from their SAP data than standard reports: forecasting, supplier insight and AI assistants that understand finance and supply chain. There is no Google Cloud region in Sri Lanka, so latency, residency and connectivity must be planned. Odoo, HR systems, databases and websites also need a home that shares the same security and operations model as SAP.
Analytics on SAP data
BigQuery, the BigQuery Connector for SAP and Google Cloud Cortex Framework turn SAP ECC and S/4HANA tables into ready data models. SAP Business Data Cloud Connect for BigQuery adds zero-copy access to SAP data products.
Certified for SAP HANA
Google Cloud certifies M3, M4, C4, X4 and X5 machine types for SAP HANA, from small systems to 32 TB bare metal. That covers sandbox through large production.
Regions near you
Mumbai (asia-south1) and Delhi NCR (asia-south2) are the nearest regions, with Singapore as a further option. Delhi NCR launched with three zones.
AI from SAP
The ABAP SDK for Google Cloud lets ABAP programs call Gemini models and Google Cloud APIs. SAP teams can add AI to existing processes without leaving ABAP.
Why customers choose Google Cloud
Analytics on SAP data
BigQuery, the BigQuery Connector for SAP and Cortex Framework give a direct route from SAP ECC and S/4HANA into analytics. Cortex Framework is open source and deploys in your own Google Cloud environment.
Zero-copy SAP data sharing
SAP Business Data Cloud Connect for BigQuery became generally available in July 2026. It gives two-way access to SAP data products from BigQuery without replication.
Large certified HANA machines
X4 bare metal machines reach 32 TB of memory and are certified for SAP HANA scale-up and scale-out. M4 and the newer X5 series add further certified options.
AI in ABAP
The ABAP SDK for Google Cloud supports Gemini models and many Google Cloud APIs. SAP developers can add AI and cloud services from inside their ABAP code.
What we do
We cover the full Google Cloud lifecycle for SAP and the systems around it.
RISE with SAP on Google Cloud
We help you choose Google Cloud as the hyperscaler for RISE with SAP and SAP Cloud ERP Private, then connect your own Google Cloud projects to it. SAP Enterprise Cloud Services runs the VPC, instances and storage; we handle connectivity, identity, integration and extensions on your side.
Self-managed SAP on Compute Engine
For ECC, S/4HANA or BW on HANA under your own licences, we size, deploy and harden the landscape on SAP-certified machine types. We use Google Cloud's Agent for SAP and Workload Manager to check it against best practice.
ECC to S/4HANA moves
We move ECC to Google Cloud first or convert straight to S/4HANA, depending on your timeline. ECC mainstream maintenance ends in 2027, so we plan the route and cutover around that date.
Landing zone and security
We set up a Google Cloud organisation with folders, policies, logging, encryption and least-privilege access. It is ready for SAP and non-SAP workloads from the start.
SAP data, analytics and AI
We replicate SAP data to BigQuery, deploy Cortex Framework data models and connect SAP Business Data Cloud through BDC Connect for BigQuery. We then build reports and Gemini-based assistants on top.
Non-SAP workloads
We host Odoo, MIHCM, Swyftflo, Cloud SQL and other databases, and websites on Google Cloud. They share the same organisation, backup and monitoring as your SAP estate.
How it works
- 1
Assess
We review your SAP and non-SAP landscape, licences, interfaces and data needs. We confirm whether RISE with SAP or a self-managed model fits best.
2 to 4 weeks - 2
Design
We design the landing zone, network to your offices, region and zone layout, sizing and the data platform. You get a clear architecture and plan.
2 to 4 weeks - 3
Build and migrate
We build Google Cloud resources as code, migrate systems in waves and test each one. SAP cutovers are rehearsed before go-live.
2 to 6 months - 4
Run and improve
We operate, patch, back up and monitor the estate, and review cost and security each month. We add BigQuery and AI use cases once the foundation is stable.

How Google Cloud services map to your needs
The Google Cloud services we use most often for SAP and business systems.
| What you need | Google Cloud service | How we help |
|---|---|---|
| Run SAP HANA in production | Compute Engine M3, M4, C4, X4 and X5 machine types certified for SAP HANA | We size to SAP sizing results and choose the right certified machine type. |
| Monitor and back up SAP | Google Cloud's Agent for SAP, with Backint and disk snapshot backup | We set up monitoring, backup to Cloud Storage and tested restores. |
| Check SAP against best practice | Workload Manager, including its observability service for SAP workloads | We run regular evaluations and fix gaps before they cause outages. |
| Connect to RISE with SAP | Cloud VPN, Cloud Interconnect and VPC networking | We connect your projects and offices to the SAP-managed RISE environment. |
| Replicate SAP data to analytics | BigQuery Connector for SAP and BigQuery | We replicate SAP tables in near real time, including change data capture. |
| Ready-made SAP data models | Google Cloud Cortex Framework and SAP BDC Connect for BigQuery | We deploy data foundations for SAP ECC, S/4HANA and Business Data Cloud. |
| Add AI to SAP processes | Gemini models via the ABAP SDK for Google Cloud | We build ABAP extensions and assistants that use Gemini on SAP data. |
SAP on Google Cloud, the right way
Under RISE with SAP on Google Cloud, SAP Enterprise Cloud Services manages your SAP Cloud ERP Private environment, including the VPC, Compute Engine instances and storage, so you do not manage those servers. You or your partner handle on-premise systems, your own Google Cloud projects and the connections to SAP's projects, and that is where we work. If you run ECC or S/4HANA under your own licences on Google Cloud, you and we run the whole stack, from machines and storage to HANA, high availability and backup. We keep both models clear so responsibilities and support are never in doubt.
- RISE with SAP on Google Cloud: SAP runs the infrastructure; we connect and extend it from your projects.
- Self-managed SAP on Compute Engine: we build, run and support HANA and NetWeaver on certified machine types.
- ECC mainstream maintenance ends in 2027, with optional extended maintenance to 2030; we plan your move around these dates.
- SAP Business Data Cloud is available in the Google Cloud Mumbai region, and BDC Connect for BigQuery gives zero-copy access to SAP data products.

Frequently asked
Is there a Google Cloud region in Sri Lanka?
No. The nearest regions are Mumbai (asia-south1) and Delhi NCR (asia-south2) in India, with Singapore as a further option. We choose based on latency, data residency and which services you need there.
If we choose RISE with SAP on Google Cloud, who manages the servers?
SAP does. SAP Enterprise Cloud Services manages the VPC, Compute Engine instances and storage for your SAP environment. We connect your own projects and offices to it and build extensions there.
How do we get SAP data into BigQuery?
There are several routes. The BigQuery Connector for SAP replicates tables from SAP systems, Cortex Framework supplies data models, and SAP Business Data Cloud Connect for BigQuery shares SAP data products without copying them. We pick the route that fits your SAP version and use case.
Can we run Odoo or MIHCM next to SAP on Google Cloud?
Yes. We host Odoo, MIHCM, databases and websites in the same Google Cloud organisation. They share security, backup and monitoring with your SAP systems.
Can you help with funding for the move?
Yes. We help you secure hyperscaler funding programmes where you qualify. We prepare the assessment and business case these programmes usually ask for.
