“Europe’s future role in digital innovation, especially in the field of artificial intelligence (AI), will be significantly shaped by how purposefully we use AI to solve specific industry applications,” said Thomas Saueressig, member of the Executive Board of SAP SE responsible for Customer Services & Delivery. “With the expanded SAP Sovereign Cloud offering, SAP is enabling access to comprehensive cloud innovation and AI capabilities for many markets and industries – including the public and regulated sectors – while ensuring that these advances are delivered within a sovereign framework and according to customers’ individual requirements.”
Delivery options for different security profiles
With the addition of SAP Sovereign Cloud, customers can choose between different delivery models that provide control over infrastructure, platform and software and can be customized to meet specific regulatory and operational requirements. These options enable companies to comply with applicable local laws and scale their systems according to their own specifications. SAP Sovereign Cloud solutions are available on:
- SAP Cloud Infrastructure: SAP’s IaaS platform is based on open source technologies, runs in the SAP data center network and stores all data exclusively in the EU in accordance with data protection regulations.
- SAP Sovereign Cloud On-Site: SAP provides an infrastructure operated by SAP that is located in a data center selected or owned by the customer. This solution meets the highest requirements for data, operational, technical and legal sovereignty while ensuring SAP’s innovation capability and architecture.
- Delos Cloud: SAP offers a secure and sovereign cloud in Germany with the Delos Cloud, which supports the flexible and rapid transformation of the public sector to meet country-specific sovereignty requirements.
Long-term investment in Europe’s digital resilience
With a long-term investment of over 20 billion euros, SAP is setting a clear strategic focus on digital sovereignty. This commitment underscores SAP’s goal to promote Europe’s digital independence through secure, locally operated and regulatory compliant cloud solutions designed specifically for the public sector and highly regulated industries.
With SAP Sovereign Cloud, organizations gain full control over their infrastructure while leveraging the full capabilities of SAP cloud solutions. This offering enables organizations to run SAP Business Suite in sovereign environments and benefit from continuous innovation cycles – including SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) and integrated SAP Business AI capabilities. This enables customers to innovate locally and securely without sacrificing speed or scale of transformation.
