en.Wedoany.com Reported - SAP has launched a new data center in Mumbai, India, to support the data federation capabilities of its business network. This data center marks a further deepening of the German enterprise software provider's commitment to the Indian market, which is SAP's fastest-growing major global economy with over 15,000 employees. The data center has significantly enhanced the data federation capabilities of SAP Business Network Commerce Automation, connecting procurement processes for global enterprises and their trading partners.

The new data center complements existing ones in Europe, the United States, and Saudi Arabia, strengthening the data federation capabilities of the SAP Business Network. Later this year, the data center will also extend data federation capabilities for SAP Business Network Supply Chain Collaboration. Data federation aggregates a unified view of data from different sources without physically moving or copying it, helping multinational trading partners exchange goods and services while meeting compliance requirements related to data residency policies. Built on the SAP Business Technology Platform, the SAP Business Network aims to enhance scale, resilience, and regional compliance, providing a foundation for applications such as agentic AI, automation, and cross-SAP workflows.

Companies operating in India require cloud-based platforms to build resilient domestic supply chains while maintaining global connectivity. The SAP Business Network achieves data localization through the Mumbai data center in a manner compliant with guidelines from the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), implemented by a MeitY-authorized cloud service provider. Data federation also offers cost efficiency, unified governance and security, and faster response times in hybrid or multi-cloud environments. Amid threats of supply chain disruptions from geopolitical conflicts, natural disasters, and other factors, enterprises are turning to cloud solutions like data federation to expand operational visibility and resilience. The new Mumbai data center helps strengthen relationships with Indian customers and accelerate the value they derive from the SAP Business Network.
