From SAP data to grounded AI — the Google Cloud stack, end to end
SAP alone is table stakes; the advantage comes from what you do with SAP data once it’s flowing. This page is the platform overview of the full data-to-AI chain on Google Cloud — the serverless warehouse, the agent-build platform, the enterprise agent front door, and the operational and BI layers around them — and how Altivate wires them to your SAP core so business teams get answers they can trust, governed to ISO/IEC 27001.
The pattern is deliberately simple. Your SAP ECC and S/4HANA data lands in BigQuery — often via the open-source Cortex Framework accelerator — where it becomes analytics-ready without leaving the warehouse. BigQuery ML runs forecasting and classification in plain SQL and can call Gemini models directly on that data. The Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform is where we build, tune, govern, and observe the agents; Gemini Enterprise is the front door where your business users put them to work, grounded on that same governed SAP data. Looker keeps everyone on one trusted semantic model, and AlloyDB serves the low-latency, vector-search workloads AI apps need.
No copies drifting out of sync, no ungoverned exports — one chain from record to recommendation, governed to ISO/IEC 27001.
The stack, layer by layer
Four pieces, one governed chain. Looker and AlloyDB are ours to run end to end; BigQuery, the agentic AI layer, and the SAP-to-BigQuery landing each go deeper on their own page.
Looker & AlloyDB for PostgreSQL
Looker gives everyone one governed semantic model and enterprise BI, now with Conversational Analytics so people ask questions in natural language against trusted definitions. AlloyDB for PostgreSQL handles the operational side — a PostgreSQL-compatible database with columnar analytics and ScaNN vector search for the RAG and AI-app workloads the chain depends on.
BigQuery
The serverless warehouse at the centre of the chain — where SAP and the rest of your estate come together, analytics-ready and one query away from AI. BigQuery, in depth →
The agentic AI layer
Gemini Enterprise is the business front door where teams find, build, and use agents grounded on your governed SAP data; beneath it, the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform (formerly Vertex AI) is where those agents are built, tuned, governed, and observed before they reach a user.

SAP + AI, end to end
The chain that ties it together: the Cortex Framework accelerator lands your SAP data in BigQuery, BigQuery makes it analytics- and ML-ready, and Gemini turns it into grounded answers — all delivered within our ISO/IEC 27001-governed environment. This is the differentiator: SAP is the foundation, AI is what makes it intelligent. Cortex Framework for SAP →
