Deutsche Börse Group driving scalability and innovation with SAP on Google Cloud
AI Summary
Marcus Pushki, head of customer care and revenue management at Dodge Burger Group, discusses their company’s IT operations, focusing on customer and revenue systems. The company, a stock exchange, operates in four segments including market infrastructure, post-trade business, data products, and data analytics. They chose Google Cloud for hosting their SAP workload primarily for performance, security, and excellent professional support. The migration of their legacy ERP system to S4ANA on Google Cloud was a major success, significantly improving data migration speed (from weeks to hours), high availability with multi-zone and multi-region setups, and resilience. Downtime during upgrades was eliminated thanks to high availability. The scalability aided processes like monthly closing even during volatile market conditions. Collaboration with SAP and Google architects continues to enhance infrastructure with new technologies like BigQuery and AI, leveraging Cortex. The move to Google Cloud in 2019 was transformative, enabling adoption of AI and cost savings through data tiering in BigQuery, opportunities not feasible on-premise.
