Google And SAP Announce New Cloud-Oriented Partnership

At the event, Google also announced its acquisition of Kaggle, a company that has cultivated a large community of data scientists and machine learning specialists.

All of the news was announced as part of Google Cloud Next, the company’s user conference for businesses and enterprises taking place in San Francisco.

Google and SAP intend to collaborate on building machine learning features into intelligent applications like conversational apps that guide users through complex workflows and transactions.

“Google has a long history working with the largest media companies in the world, and we help them find value from unstructured data like video”, said Fei-Fei Li, Chief Scientist of Google Cloud AI and Machine Learning. He asserted that technology found in numerous company’s applications, such as YouTube, could add value to the enterprise offerings. According to Leukert, Google is a frontrunner in topics like containerization and scalable data processing and the SAP Cloud Platform unit will work closely with Google on making technologies such as Kubernetes work for enterprise workloads. With Google’s strong push towards machine learning, this addition gives them the power to improve their cloud and artificial intelligence efforts further than ever before.

“Kaggle and Google Cloud will continue to support machine learning training and deployment services, while offering the community the ability to store and query large datasets”. Learn more about Google and other FANG stocks – Facebook, Amazon and Netflix – at IBD Stock Checkup or here.

Google Next ’17 Google Cloud is in a full-on push to build an ecosystem for itself with a fresh line of partnerships.

The partnership also allows SAP to evolve from being an enterprise software company that physically delivers its solutions to a cloud-based business. The announcement was made at the cloud conference of Google. The API can now recognise millions of entities from Google’s Knowledge Graph and offers enhanced Optical Character Recognition (OCR) capabilities that can extract text from scans of documents such as legal contracts or research papers. The Chocolate Factory notes that even with the Google Apps team pitching in, it can not support all of the customers it hopes to bring over to Cloud, so it is asking for some help.

It has previously said it wants to build a cloud environment for enterprise Windows “that leads the industry”. “We’re here for real”, Schmidt said.
