Google Switching from Oracle Finance Software to SAP
1 week ago
Google is reportedly switching from Oracle finance software to SAP, with the move occurring in the next few weeks.
Google made the announcement in an email to employees, seen by
CNBC. The move doesn’t appear to be related to Google’s Supreme Court win over Oracle earlier Monday. Nonetheless, there is no love lost between the two companies.
As
CNBC points out, Oracle refused to certify its software for Google Cloud for years, costing Google business as some companies were hesitant to use a cloud solution that didn’t have Oracle’s blessing. In response, Google started focusing on SAP deployment with its cloud offerings, rather than Oracle.

Court sides with Google in $9B Oracle battle - Mobile World Live 06 APR 2021
The US Supreme Court handed Google victory in a court battle spanning more than a decade, ruling the technology giant did not violate copyright infringement laws when using parts of Oracle’s software code to develop its Android operating system.
Oracle launched its action in 2010, focusing on the definition of fair use of Java code and whether Google’s application of it infringed copyright. The software company sought nearly $9 billion in damages.
The Supreme Court weighed into the case in October 2020: in a majority decision, it ruled Google was covered by legal fair use copyright protections involving around 11,500 lines of Oracle code employed to ensure Android was compatible with Java software, which is now owned by Oracle.
