SAP Enhances Sovereign Cloud Services for Public Sector in Australia and New Zealand (ANZ)
SAP has announced an expansion of its Sovereign Cloud capabilities in Australia, reinforcing its commitment to the public sector in Australia and New Zealand. The company has introduced the SAP Sovereign Cloud On-Site solution, allowing customers, particularly in the public sector, to host SAP’s managed cloud infrastructure within their own facilities. This On-Site model utilises open-source technology to provide a higher level of physical control and data residency for organisations that require assurance regarding digital sovereignty. Additionally, SAP has broadened its Sovereign Cloud offerings to include SAP Digital Supply Chain, SAP Business Network, and SAP Concur, complementing earlier offerings such as SAP S/4HANA Cloud private edition, SAP SuccessFactors, SAP Analytics Cloud, and SAP Business Technology Platform, which were launched in 2023.
Brian Senior, Executive General Manager of Federal Government at SAP ANZ, highlighted the importance of these developments, stating that both government and enterprises face increasing regulatory, security, and sovereignty requirements. He emphasised that Sovereign Cloud is not solely about data location but also about who controls and protects it, enabling government and industry to modernise and innovate with confidence. By expanding its services to include procurement and supply chain alongside finance and HR, SAP ensures that critical data remains protected and managed within Australia, fostering greater trust in the security and reliability of digital services. In partnership with Toll Group, a major contractor to the Australian Defence Force, SAP aims to enhance compliance and cybersecurity for government and defence customers, further solidifying its role in meeting the needs of highly regulated industries.
