Managed cloud services provider Cloud4C, has collaborated with Google Cloud to build a Centre of Excellence (CoE) for SAP and Anthos.

The partnership aims to enable enterprises to accelerate their digital transformation journey on the cloud, Cloud4C said in a statement.

The center of excellence (CoE) will equip businesses with capabilities to modernise mission critical IT infrastructure and applications, while gaining the complete benefit of Cloud4C’s extended SAP service portfolio. By leveraging Anthos, enterprises can modernize their existing applications and build cloud-native apps to achieve agility and cost savings with Google Cloud.

Sridhar Pinnapureddy, Founder and CEO, Cloud4C, said, “Our customers can leverage the best of Google’s offerings in a secure manner with reduced capital investment and improved value delivery. The CoE will serve as a multi-disciplinary customer showcase hub, developing and delivering solutions for high efficiency and reliability.” Rapid deployment of SAP applications through Anthos by Google will additionally contribute to lowering carbon footprint, added Pinnapureddy.

The CoE will also support customers in their modernization journey, as they level up their mission-critical IT infrastructure and applications and leverage advanced Google Cloud Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML) and analytics capabilities at scale. The partnership will help organizations make the most of Cloud 4C’s end to end SAP capabilities through multi-cloud support, multi-cluster/unified management, centralized policy management, infrastructure management and achieve higher return on investment, enhanced platform, operational efficiency, rapid scalability and optimise costs.

“Together with Cloud4C, we will offer organizations a clear path to build, run, and manage their critical SAP workloads on hybrid and multi cloud environments with full flexibility, agility and security. This will be a huge benefit for businesses in India.” said Amitabh Jacob, Head of Partners and Alliances, Google Cloud India
