This year, we’ve witnessed tremendous change not only to our daily lives, but also how businesses work. For us, part of that meant helping businesses migrate and modernize their most important enterprise workloads—think SAP, Windows, and VMware—to Google Cloud, helping them achieve scale, flexibility and cost savings. Let’s take a quick look back on the progress we made this year and what’s to come.

SAP on Google Cloud delivers agility

An SAP environment is often at the very center of an enterprise’s operations. From financial accounting to supply chain management to human capital management, SAP applications demand the highest levels of flexibility, security and uptime. Customers considering migrating SAP to the cloud are looking to improve their business continuity capabilities. They need a secure cloud with advanced reliability, network, and uptime performance. They excel with data analytics and machine learning capabilities. And they want a cloud migration free of the drama and disruptions that usually accompany enterprise software projects.

In June 2020, Forrester assessed SAP on Google Cloud and found exciting results for customers considering a migration:

• Companies that adopt SAP on Google Cloud save more than $3 million per year on average by eliminating hardware purchases, optimizing their software licenses, and streamlining their IT staff, and through other operational efficiencies.
• Migrating SAP environments to Google Cloud effectively eliminated customers’ concerns about system uptime, and they saved $1.5 million per year on average by avoiding downtime issues.
• Google Cloud dramatically reduced the impact of server bottlenecks, infrastructure failures, network capacity issues, and other performance issues, resulting in $500,000 in productivity gains on average for each SAP on Google Cloud user.
