Alphabet,Google’s parent company, has migrated its internalfinancial operationsfrom Oracle to SAP software, reportedly owing to Oracle’s refusal to certify itsdatabasefor use in Google’scloud computingplatform..
The timing of the move comes on the same day Oracle lost itslandmark Android lawsuitagainst Google.
An unnamed source toldCNBCthat the move to SAP stems from Oracle being adamant about not getting its database certified onGoogle Cloud, which hampered its adoption, particularly among large companies.
Round two
Reportedly the lack of certification for Oracle forced Google to focus on deploying SAP’s database software in the cloud.
However, that has nothing to do with the transition to SAP according to Google. In a statement toZDNet, Google Spokesperson José Castañeda noted that Google Cloud actively enables Oracle’s customers to run their Oracle database workloads on Google Cloud through Google’s bare metal solution.
“But that’s entirely separate to our decision as an enterprise customer of financial software to transition our financial systems from Oracle to SAP,” added Castañeda.
According to reports, Oracle co-founder and CTO, Larry Ellison has proudly pointed to Google as a client in past earning calls. In a recent one he even listed dozens of companies and government agencies that have moved from SAP’s ERP to Oracle’s Fusion ERP.
