In December 2024, SAP Business Networkâthe worldâs largest B2B platform, facilitating more than US$6.2 trillion in commerce annually in 190 countriesâlaunched its first data center in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), representing a major step forward in the execution of SAPâs data federation strategy. SAP Business Network has now become a distributed, decentralized, and federated business network for SAP Business Network for Logistics and SAP Business Network Asset Collaboration across the EU, U.S., and KSA. With this milestone, SAP has delivered on a crucial promise made to a highly consequential set of customers.
But what exactly is data federation? And why does it hold so much promise for customers in Saudi Arabia and elsewhere?
To counter the ever-present threat to global supply chains posed by disruptionâwhether arising from geopolitical conflict, labor unrest, financial crisis, natural disaster, or other upheavalâbusinesses are turning increasingly to cloud-based solutions to extend visibility and instill resilience across their operations and those of their trading partners, particularly when managing supply chains, logistics, and dispersed capital equipment or other mission-critical assets. Yet just as businesses must assess risk on an international scale to stay competitive, they also must comply with a burgeoning set of regulations around the world requiring operational data to reside physically within a nationâs borders. By applying cloud-based solutions, businesses can transact commerce through global digital networks while adhering strictly to regional data residency requirements through an approach known as data federation.
Data federation permits operational information from disparate sources to be accessed and updated as though it resided in a single, unified location. Instead of moving or copying data from one system to another, federation provides users with real-time access unburdened by duplication.
Federation becomes crucial when an organization must unify its data across different storage platforms while ensuring the integrity and security of the underlying operational sources. This becomes particularly vital for companies with complex data architectures, whose data may reside in SAP systems, cloud data lakes, or third-party applications. Data federation brings multiple advantages, especially in hybrid or multi-cloud environments, including global access, cost efficiency, unified governance and security, and faster time to insights.
But the advantages extend still further. With the launch of our KSA data center, SAP Business Network core services have been deployed. This includes multilingual support, such as proficiency with languages read right-to-left like Arabic, and a Federated Trading Partner Index Service for routing transactions between different data centers. Saudi customers can thus adhere to local data privacy regulations while retaining the ability to collaborate and transact with trading partners around the world.
With the deployment of SAP Business Network in the KSA data center, public sector or critical national infrastructure (CNI) customers and prospects in KSA can rest assured that regulations have been followed strictly, allowing these organizations to transact on SAP Business Network for Logistics and SAP Business Network Asset Collaboration. Data federation helps ensure that trading partners can find each other, regardless of where they may be registered.
The deployment of SAP Business Network for Logistics and SAP Business Network Asset Collaboration for Saudi customers in the public and critical national infrastructure sectors, for whom data federation is crucial, marks only the initial step. Later this year, both products will become available for private-sector customers in KSA as well. SAP Business Network Commerce Automation and SAP Business Network Supply Chain Collaboration will also be deployed in the KSA data center in coming quarters. Meanwhile, SAP will continue to expand its data center footprint and data federation program across the globe, with the expansion of SAP Business Network capabilities throughout 2025 and beyond.
