AWS and SAP Expand Collaboration for SAP Business AI Platform

At SAP Sapphire 2026, AWS announced a Strategic Collaboration Agreement (SCA) with SAP to expand the availability of SAP Business AI Platform on AWS worldwide. The 5-year agreement will bring SAP Business AI Platform’s platform services, and SAP Business Data Cloud to 7 new AWS regions. This gives customers in regulated industries and emerging markets the performance, compliance, and innovation capabilities they need to transform their businesses.

Meeting customers where they are

New regional deployments will span key markets including India, Japan, United Kingdom, Brazil, Malaysia (ASEAN), Canada, and South Korea, supporting customers across the globe so they can run SAP workloads on AWS infrastructure close to where they operate.

“Customers around the world are accelerating their journey to the cloud and need trusted partners that can support them wherever they operate. Through our extended collaboration with AWS, we’re expanding the availability of SAP Business AI Platform to more regions to help organizations meet local data-residency, compliance, and performance requirements, while unlocking more value from their business data and AI.” – Stefan Goebel, SVP, Portfolio & Strategic Initiatives, SAP Customer Value Group.

For enterprises running high-availability, regulated SAP workloads, regional availability isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity. Organizations in healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, and the public sector face strict data residency requirements, and demand low latency for real-time operations.

“Enterprises shouldn’t have to choose between running the world’s leading business applications and meeting their local compliance and performance requirements. This collaboration supports them and SAP Business AI Platform.” – Sara Alligood, Director WW Strategic Partners, AWS

What this means for customers

Together, these capabilities represent a step-change in how enterprises can use the combined power of SAP Business AI Platform and AWS’s infrastructure and AI services.

• New Capacity to Support Customers: SAP Business AI Platform’s platform services and SAP Business Data Cloud will be deployed across new AWS regions in a phased rollout beginning in December 2026 and continuing through 2028. With this expansion, customers in previously underserved markets can now access a majority of cloud solutions from SAP on AWS.
• Data Residency & Compliance: Customers with data residency requirements can now keep their data within their geography, meeting local and international regulatory requirements without compromise. This is especially critical for organizations in financial services, healthcare, and public sector, where data sovereignty is non-negotiable.
• Low-Latency Performance: Real-time operations in manufacturing, logistics, and utilities benefit from SAP workloads running closer to end users, reducing latency and improving responsiveness across time-sensitive business processes.
• Simplified Ecosystem Integration: Organizations already invested in SAP on AWS can extend their environments to AWS services and SAP Business AI Platform with lower migration complexity and operational friction, protecting and extending existing investments.
• AI and Advanced Analytics: Customers gain native access to SAP and AWS’s AI and machine learning capabilities and can further expand on the AWS and SAP AI Co-innovation program to unlock new possibilities for intelligent automation and data-driven decision-making.
