ORLANDO, Florida, May 9, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- SAP SE (NYSE:
SAP) today announced project "Embrace," a collaboration program
with Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google Cloud as
well as global strategic service partners (GSSPs).
"Embrace" puts the customer's move to SAP S/4HANA® in the cloud
in the language and context of their primary industry, by
recommending the platform, software, services and infrastructure
from SAP as well as their preferred hyperscaler and preferred
service partner.
The move to SAP S/4HANA in the cloud is planned to come in the
form of market-approved journeys, reference architectures and easy
access to the underpinning technology services required to help
customers achieve the best business outcomes. By partnering with
hyperscalers and GSSPs to deliver this program, SAP aims to provide
its customers a single blueprint to support their transition and
journey toward an intelligent enterprise.
"Our customers are very clear about the business outcomes they
expect to achieve when migrating to the cloud — and that includes
operational excellence and innovation," said Jennifer Morgan, president of Cloud Business
Group and executive board member of SAP. "Working together with the
hyperscalers and global strategic service partners, we're in a
unique position to shape our customers' journeys to becoming
intelligent enterprises."
Planned customer benefits include shorter negotiations,
streamlined teaming and faster, risk-managed implementations.
"Embrace" aims to include the following
components:
- Solution: A set of foundational services running on
SAP® Cloud Platform to enable the integration, orchestration and
extension of SAP systems and third-party applications running in
the cloud or on premise
- Reference architecture: A jointly developed
technical blueprint that incorporates the required SAP and
hyperscaler components to run the customer's applications
- Market-approved journeys: A jointly created and
market-approved road map to SAP S/4HANA by industry – created with
hyperscalers and global strategic service partners
- New SAP MaxAttention™ services and SAP ActiveAttention
services: A newly launched set of services designed to
support customers running a cloud or hybrid infrastructure on a
hyperscaler

Scotland's Topolytics Wins
Circular Economy 2030 Contest
SAP and Google Cloud today announced that Michael Groves, CEO and founder of Topolytics,
won the Circular Economy 2030 Contest, an award that fosters social
entrepreneurship for a sustainable future.
SAP and Google Cloud launched the contest at the World Economic
Forum in Davos earlier this year,
prompted by the urgent need to address the United Nations
Sustainable Development Goal 12, which calls for responsible
production and consumption.
Both companies will harness the power of their technologies to
challenge social entrepreneurs globally to use their passion to
solve world problems. More than 250 participants from over 50
countries in six continents submitted applications. Five finalists
were chosen, and their ideas ranged from better managing food waste
to combat hunger to tracing batteries for future use, recycling
fabric remnants and sustaining rural farms in Kenya.
The winner, Topolytics, a data and analytics company, offers a
metadatabase of industrial and commercial waste. It uses mapping,
sensors and analytics to create a database that maps the
generation, movement and fate of waste. The award includes
US$100,000 in funding, a Google Cloud
for Startups: Surge Package (includes US$100,000 in Google Cloud credits), SAP product
access, 1:1 mentorship and Google Cloud for Startups Bootcamp.
"I'm absolutely delighted that Topolytics has won SAP and Google
Cloud's CE2030 Challenge," said Michael
Groves, CEO of Topolytics. "Our ambition and use of
leading-edge technology are a natural fit for these titans of the
tech world."
