Vingroup to migrate on-premise SAP systems to Google Cloud

Vingroup, Vietnam’s largest  private conglomerate, announced plans to migrate its entire SAP footprint from on-premises data centers to Google Cloud’s open and secure cloud infrastructure. This move will help the group increase its production capabilities and enhance the quality of its products and services. 

The migration will cover functions such as supply chain management, enterprise resource planning (ERP), finance management, human capital management (HCM), manufacturing operations, among others.

The move is expected to save significant operational costs over the next three to five years while allowing Vingroup to operate in a scalable and reliable cloud environment that provides global access to its applications with minimal latency and maximum uptime. Google Cloud is also the industry's cleanest cloud, which means that Vingroup will be able to ensure that its systems are running both efficiently and sustainably.

Vingroup will be able to gain data-driven insights using Google Cloud's leading cloud infrastructure and unified data platform to understand customer needs better, personalize products and services, and create more compelling customer experiences. 

This collaboration is also expected to help enhance the security and efficiency of Vingroup’s business systems and applications around the globe. 

Fueling the electric vehicle arm

The group’s  electric vehicle (EV) arm, VinFast, will be running SAP S/4HANA® on Google Cloud in the US, France, Germany, and the Netherlands under the Rise with SAP offering. By linking its SAP software systems to its data warehouses in Google Cloud, VinFast will be able to integrate and analyze petabytes of historical and real-time data from its manufacturing lines and its digital estate for EV sales and aftercare. This will enable VinFast, which operates a 335-hectare digital automotive factory in Vietnam’s Hai Phong province, to make better decisions, improve production yield by using advanced automation, and explore new ways to assist customers throughout the vehicle ownership lifecycle.

Benefits across other subsidiaries

Other Vingroup subsidiaries in various sectors, such as hospitality, are also expected to benefit from the move to Google Cloud. Vinpearl, a hotel and theme park operator, and VinHMS, a supplier of hotel management software, will be able to deepen synergies. 

By combining and analyzing product, customer, and supply chain datasets, teams at Vinpearl and VinHMS can create hyper-personalized vacation experiences, including targeted promotions on Google Travel, Google Hotel Search, and Google Maps.

The transfer of Vingroup's mission-critical SAP systems and data services onto Google Cloud will create a robust digital foundation for enhanced employee experiences, new competitive advantages, and future innovation and growth. Google Cloud’s collaboration with Vingroup highlights how the former can bring next-generation, enterprise-ready capabilities and unique value to local enterprises, thereby accelerating digital transformation strategies, elevating the country’s position in the global value chain, and contributing to its economy.
