SAP Sovereign Cloud Explained

In this episode of SUGTalks, Craig is joined by Pip Plah, Head of Sovereign Cloud, SAP UK, and Chris Soden, Head of UK Delivery, SAP Sovereign Cloud Services. Together they explore how SAP Sovereign Cloud is helping organisations in highly regulated industries maintain control over their data while embracing cloud innovation.

They discuss what “sovereign” really means in practice, from data residency and legal frameworks to the security-cleared teams managing UK workloads. In addition, they unpack the difference between commercial and sovereign cloud models. The conversation also covers customer adoption, SAP’s new Sovereign Cloud On-Site model, and how evolving regulations and cyber threats are shaping the cloud landscape.
