Vodafone has partnered with Google Cloud to modernize its SAP workloads to Google Cloud, the companies announced. The core initiative at Vodafone, called EVO2CLOUD, is expected to be a two to three year-long effort from start to finish. What’s more, it will involve the conversion or migration of 100 separate SAP apps and processes, according to the companies.
“Vodafone uses SAP for its financial, procurement and HR services; it’s the backbone of its internal and external operations. High availability and reliability are fundamental requirements to ensure smooth operation with minimal downtime. Moreover, hosting SAP on Google Cloud is a foundation for digital innovation and maintaining cybersecurity,” wrote Mona Abdalla, Google’s technical account manager for CCE Telco Industries, and Christian Hegmanns, Vodafone’s IT program and technology lead for the SAP to Google Cloud conversion.
