COMPANY DESCRIPTION

SAP started in 1972 as a team of five colleagues with a desire to do something new. Together, they changed enterprise software and reinvented how business was done. Today, as a market leader in enterprise application software, we remain true to our roots. That’s why we engineer solutions to fuel innovation, foster equality and spread opportunity for our employees and customers across borders and cultures.

The Sovereign Cloud Technology and Delivery unit is responsible for enabling and operating a multitude of SAP solutions according to global as well as local compliance and security requirements. Following a globally designed approach we help our customers to leverage the benefits of the cloud – while meeting national regulatory and customer demands around data residency, local and credentialed personnel and facilities
