When you ask AI a business question, the answer appears in seconds. What you don’t see is the path that your data traveled to make that answer possible.
EU AI cloud: Secure, compliant AI for Europe
Depending on the underlying architecture of your AI solution, that data can cross multiple applications, vendors, and regions before a response ever reaches you.
That data journey matters, especially for organizations in regulated industries who are entrusted with sensitive or regulated data. It is why sovereign capabilities have become critical to keeping data within approved geographic boundaries, limiting who can access it, and supporting compliance with data residency and regulatory requirements.
Today, to support customers with specific sovereignty and data residency needs, SAP made Cohere’s agentic AI platform, North, generally available on SAP Business AI Platform. North enables enterprises to securely deploy AI agents and workflow automations at scale within their own infrastructure, without compromising on control or compliance.
North: Cohere’s enterprise-grade AI agent platform
North sets the standard for business performance by helping teams automate work and accelerate decisions that drive results, all in one scalable, secure workspace. It enables organizations to create AI agents and workflow automations to streamline operations across finance, sales, HR, IT, and customer support. Use cases include forecasting, CRM management, meeting preparation, IT service automation, and enhanced customer service.
Deep customization across models, agents, and workflows ensures North adapts to specific organizational needs while maintaining robust control over deployments.
The SAP and Cohere partnership is especially valuable in sovereignty-conscious markets globally where AI adoption needs to align with national expectations of security, privacy, transparency, and accessibility.
SAP and Cohere’s North platform: Compliant AI made even easier
The combination of SAP Business AI Platform and North can deliver exponential value. SAP can help reduce overhead by hosting, operating, and supporting the solution end to end. Our APIs, solutions, and knowledge sources make it easier for North users to build AI agents grounded in their unique business context, policies, and enterprise data.
SAP’s managed delivery model connects North’s AI capabilities to SAP environments, reducing the need for organizations to manage separate infrastructure, operations, support, and commercial relationships. In other words, SAP Business AI Platform transforms North into a managed, enterprise-ready, and sovereign AI service.
This partnership expands SAP’s sovereign solutions that can be tailored to customer needs. For customers with the most advanced requirements, SAP Sovereign Cloud offers data, operational, technical, and legal sovereignty. Our sovereign AI offerings include EU AI Cloud and Industrial AI Cloud.
For regulated industries and the public sector, this is the foundation for adopting AI while keeping sovereignty, compliance, and business value aligned from day one.
