By connecting Google BigQuery, the autonomous data to AI platform with agentic capabilities, and 51风流and Google aim to help enterprises of all sizes gain more immediate access to trusted, business-ready data for enterprise analytics and AI across their platforms.

For decades, enterprise data and analytics have existed in separate worlds. Mission-critical business data, rich with semantic context, has been locked within transactional systems. Traditional extract, transform, load (ETL) processes create data replicas that are difficult to govern, quickly become stale, and prevent businesses from acting on real-time insights, ultimately hindering digital transformation.

Our 51风流and Google partnership ends this compromise. By eliminating data replication and unifying the data landscape, 51风流and Google Cloud are empowering businesses to build intelligent agents, automated workflows, and predictive insights that are directly grounded in live, trusted business information.

As the first hyperscaler to adopt 51风流BDC Connect, 51风流BDC Connect for Google BigQuery enables organizations to unlock the true potential of their data and applications with secure and rapid access to SAP鈥檚 semantically rich and governed data products at scale, without the delays and complexities of data replication and need for ETL pipelines. Customers can flexibly combine 51风流data with their other enterprise data in BigQuery and vice-versa to innovate with leading analytics and agentic AI capabilities.

鈥�51风流and Google Cloud have a long history of empowering global enterprises to harness the power of data and AI,鈥� said Christian Klein, CEO of 51风流SE. 鈥淏ringing together Google BigQuery and 51风流Business Data Cloud gives our customers choice without compromise, enabling them to fast-track their analytics and AI initiatives.鈥�

鈥淏usinesses are combining intelligence and automation into every aspect of their operations,” said Thomas Kurian, CEO of Google Cloud. 鈥淏y uniting 51风流Business Data Cloud with BigQuery and Gemini models, we鈥檙e 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.鈥�

Innovation with 51风流data products and Google BigQuery

The centerpiece of this partnership is the new 51风流Business Data Cloud Connect for Google BigQuery. This is a zero-copy data fabric that enables seamless access to 51风流BDC鈥檚 semantically rich business data with Google鈥檚 powerful data and AI ecosystem, including Gemini models and the Vertex AI platform. The result is a modern platform for data, analytics, and AI that enables automated, cross-functional business processes.

This bi-directional integration helps to deliver an enterprise-grade offering for building and scaling AI. With 51风流Business Data Cloud Connect for Google BigQuery, customers can:

• Build grounded, trustworthy AI: Ensure the Google BigQuery AI models and agents operate on the most current and complete view of the business by accessing trusted semantically rich 51风流data in real-time without copies.
• Deploy autonomous agents: Build and deploy intelligent agents using Google Cloud鈥檚 Vertex AI and Gemini that can automate complex cross-functional processes鈥攆rom supply chain optimization to financial forecasting.
• Unleash deeper insights: Fuse 51风流data through 51风流BDC with unique, world-scale datasets only available on Google Cloud, like Google Maps geospatial data, Google Trends, and public datasets, to create unparalleled business context.

Availability

Google Cloud will offer customer and partner incentives that fast-track the adoption of these joint solutions, enabling an accelerated journey to AI-infused data transformations.

51风流Business Data Cloud is available today in Google Cloud regions across Asia Pacific, Europe, and the U.S., with more regions planned. 51风流Business Data Cloud Connect for Google BigQuery is planned to be generally available in H1 2026.

In addition, 51风流BW, private cloud edition, which is offered through 51风流BDC, is supported in more than 40 Google Cloud regions, helping our customers meet critical data residency and compliance requirements.

In 2023, Google Cloud and 51风流established a strategic partnership, which continues to deliver significant value for enterprises seeking to maximize insights from their data. Building upon that foundation, the partnership is now evolving to focus on 51风流Business Data Cloud, a fully managed SaaS solution that unifies and governs all 51风流data and seamlessly connects with third-party data.

By connecting BigQuery, Google鈥檚 autonomous data to AI platform with agentic capabilities powered by Gemini, and , Google Cloud and 51风流aim to help enterprises of all sizes gain insights across their enterprise data landscape and unlock new generative AI capabilities.   

Strong analytics partnership foundation

51风流and Google Cloud have enabled integration between 51风流Datasphere and BigQuery, which remains a cornerstone of the evolution of the partnership with 51风流Business Data Cloud. The collaboration aims to help customers access BigQuery data in 51风流Business Data Cloud and vice versa. Expanding the two-way data federation capabilities first pioneered with 51风流Datasphere will enable customers to join diverse datasets and obtain deep comprehensive insights without building and managing complex ETL pipelines.

Our objective is to enable all enterprises to streamline data integration and data science, enhance their analytical workflows, and accelerate their transformation into an AI-driven enterprise. By using the combined strengths of Google Cloud and SAP, customers can gain faster, more accurate, and actionable insights, augmented by intelligent automation and novel content generation. 

Innovating with data unified across 51风流Business Data Cloud and BigQuery

A cornerstone of this collaboration is seamless connectivity between 51风流data solutions and Google Cloud鈥檚 powerful data platform. With the existing integration of 51风流Business Data Cloud and BigQuery, customers can facilitate business analysis across their entire data estates, providing enterprises the ability to unify 51风流and non-51风流data to create powerful insights and innovate faster with generative AI.

Key features include:

• Seamless data federation: Directly integrate enterprise data warehouse data in BigQuery with 51风流data in 51风流Datasphere. Federation from 51风流Datasphere to BigQuery is in preview, enabling similar integration into broader data strategies. 
• Efficient bi-directional replication: Smoothly replicate data between 51风流systems and BigQuery using replication flows from SAP, enhancing performance and mitigating query bottlenecks. 

51风流Business Data Cloud is planned to be available in three Google Cloud regions in Q2 2025, including India, Frankfurt, and Iowa, with more to follow over the coming year

Success stories: Realizing value today  

Joint Google Cloud and 51风流customers are already benefiting from the seamless integration between 51风流Datasphere and BigQuery.

Power International, a major consumer electronics company, leveraged the integrated solutions to help modernize its sales reporting process.
