The role of Chief Data Officers (CDOs) in Asia is rapidly evolving as enterprises accelerate digital transformation across diverse markets. A recent McKinsey study highlights that more than 70% of Asian enterprises are prioritizing cloud migration by 2026, with a strong focus on speed, compliance, and financial governance. Against this backdrop, SAP BTP with AWS Marketplace is emerging as a game-changer, enabling organizations to simplify procurement, unify billing, and accelerate time-to-value.
At SAP Sapphire 2025, SAP SE and Amazon Web Services (AWS) jointly announced that key SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) services, SAP Integration Suite, SAP Build, and SAP HANA Cloud, are now available directly on AWS Marketplace. This partnership provides Asian enterprises with a faster, more compliant path to extend and innovate their SAP environments.
CDOs face unique challenges in Asia: balancing data compliance across multiple jurisdictions, driving cost efficiency, and enabling innovation in high-growth markets. SAP BTP with AWS Marketplace addresses these priorities:
Traditional procurement processes often involve long vendor evaluations and contract negotiations. By using AWS Marketplace, enterprises can procure SAP BTP services under existing AWS contracts, accelerating deployment timelines. According to Forrester, organizations using AWS Marketplace reported a 60% reduction in procurement cycle times.
Managing multiple vendor invoices across regions like Singapore, Hong Kong, and Indonesia is a challenge for CFOs and CDOs alike. With AWS Marketplace, all SAP BTP charges roll into one AWS bill, streamlining financial governance and improving cross-regional visibility.
With data residency and compliance laws tightening across APAC (e.g., Singapore PDPA, India DPDP Act, China’s CSL), CDOs must ensure cloud solutions meet stringent standards. SAP BTP with AWS Marketplace leverages AWS’s 143+ global compliance certifications, helping enterprises meet both local and international regulations.
In Asia’s competitive landscape, speed equals advantage. A Gartner report notes that enterprises leveraging cloud marketplaces see 30% faster innovation cycles. Deploying SAP BTP directly on AWS Marketplace enables CDOs to launch initiatives quickly, whether in financial services, retail, or manufacturing.
Seamlessly connect SAP and non-SAP systems across your ecosystem. In Asia, where multi-cloud and hybrid environments dominate, Integration Suite provides hundreds of pre-built connectors to accelerate interoperability.
Empower teams with low-code/no-code development tools. In markets like Indonesia and the Philippines, where digital talent is scarce, SAP Build allows business users to rapidly build applications and workflows, reducing reliance on IT bottlenecks.
Gain real-time insights and unified access to data across borders. For example, an Asian retail conglomerate operating in both Japan and Thailand can centralize transactional and analytical workloads while ensuring compliance with local regulations.
With Amazon Rekognition + SAP EHS on BTP, organizations in highly regulated markets (e.g., Malaysia’s oil & gas sector) can automate PPE compliance checks in real time.
Using Amazon Monitron integrated with SAP BTP, factories in Vietnam and India can detect equipment anomalies, trigger SAP maintenance workflows, and leverage Generative AI Hub for real-time insights.
By combining SAP HANA Cloud with Amazon SageMaker, CDOs in Asia can enable non-technical teams to query data using natural language, accelerating decision-making across multi-lingual teams.
As Asian enterprises continue their cloud-first journeys, SAP BTP with AWS Marketplace offers the fastest, safest, and most financially efficient path to modernize ERP environments. For CDOs tasked with driving innovation while ensuring compliance, this partnership represents an opportunity to simplify operations and accelerate business outcomes.
