Gemini Enterprise: business AI grounded on your own SAP data
Gemini Enterprise is Google Cloud’s front-door for enterprise agentic AI — where your business users find, build, and use AI agents grounded on your own company data, not generic web knowledge. The answers are only ever as good as the data behind them, and that is exactly where Altivate works: we land your SAP and operational data into a governed foundation, then ground Gemini Enterprise agents on it so a finance, supply-chain, or service question is answered from your numbers — with the security and controls an enterprise expects. SAP stays the system of record; Gemini Enterprise is how your teams ask it questions in plain language.
How Gemini Enterprise works, grounded on your data
The front door for business users
Gemini Enterprise, launched in 2025, is the enterprise agentic-AI app where your business users find, build, and use AI agents grounded on company data. Everyday use needs no code: ask a question in natural language and get an answer sourced from your own systems, with the reasoning and sources shown. It is the current enterprise-Gemini experience — the place your teams actually work.
The agent platform beneath it
Under the front door sits the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform (formerly Vertex AI) — the build layer where Altivate and your developers create, tune, govern, and observe agents. Model Garden provides Gemini and other foundation models; you deploy them, wire them to your data and tools, and monitor them in production. This is where a promising proof-of-concept becomes a governed, supported agent.
Grounding on your SAP + enterprise data
We stand up a governed BigQuery foundation with the Cortex Framework accelerator, then connect Gemini Enterprise agents to that single source of truth. Where retrieval-augmented (RAG) patterns need low-latency operational context, we add AlloyDB for PostgreSQL with ScaNN vector search. Agents then answer from your close, your inventory, your customers — not the open web. Cortex Framework for SAP →
Governance and security by design
Enterprise AI has to be controllable. Agents run inside your Google Cloud project under your IAM, data-residency, and audit controls, grounded on data you already govern — governed to ISO/IEC 27001. Altivate scopes what each agent can see and do, keeps humans in the loop for sensitive actions, and observes agent behaviour in production so nothing runs unchecked.
What your teams can build
Outcomes, by function
Finance close
A close and variance assistant grounded on your GL and sub-ledger data in BigQuery. Ask why an account moved, which entries are still open, or where this month diverges from last — and get an answer sourced from your own numbers, with the underlying records to back it. A faster close, with fewer spreadsheet hunts.
Supply chain
A supply-chain copilot reading live inventory, orders, and delivery data landed from SAP. Ask which SKUs are at risk, where a shipment is, or what to expedite — and let a governed agent take the next step in your systems, with a person approving anything sensitive.
Customer service
A service and knowledge agent grounded on your product data, policies, and case history. It answers customer and agent questions from your own content — not the open web — so replies are accurate, on-brand, and traceable to a source, escalating to a person when it should.
How Altivate delivers
We start with the data, not the demo. First we land and model your SAP and enterprise data into a governed BigQuery foundation using the Cortex Framework accelerator, so agents have something true to ground on. Then we build on the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform — selecting models from Model Garden, wiring agents to your data and systems, and setting the guardrails, evaluation, and observability that turn a prototype into something you can trust in production. Finally we hand your business users the front door in Gemini Enterprise, where they get answers from your own data in plain language. As an SAP Gold Partner and Google Cloud Partner, we keep SAP as the system of record throughout — Gemini Enterprise makes it answerable, it does not replace it.
