Google and Schwarz Group have announced a long-term partnership focused on secure and sovereign digital transformation, including collaboration and productivity solutions, as well as advanced cyber security offerings in Germany and Europe.

“For future viability in the digital age, it is essential to find partners who are truly willing to shape digitization together,” said Gerd Chrzanowski, General Partner Schwarz Group. “In Google, we found a partner that develops joint solutions with us on an equal footing, provides transparent insights and makes clear commitments. We’re looking forward to shaping digital transformation for Germany and Europe together with Google in a transparent, secure and sovereign way.”

W dzisiejszych czasach, wraz z dynamicznym rozwojem e-commerce, oczekiwania zarówno sprzedających, jak i konsumentów w zakresie realizacji usług kurierskich rosną w zawrotnym tempie. DPD Polska, działająca na polskim rynku od ponad 33 lat, wychodzi naprzeciw tym wymaganiom, oferując jeszcze większy wybór możliwości nadań i odbiorów. Oprócz doskonałych usług dostaw kurierskich dostarczanych pod wskazany adres, firma konsekwentnie rozbudowuje sieć dostaw poza domem – DPD Pickup. Obecnie rozwój tej usługi osiągnął kamień milowy – 30 000 punktów i automatów paczkowych w całej Polsce i ponad 110 000 w Europie.

– Schwarz Digits’ Cloud STACKIT to nowe rozwiązanie, które zapewnia lokalne przechowywanie danych dla Google Workspace oraz oferuje szyfrowanie po stronie klienta, zapewniając suwerenne i bezpieczne rozwiązanie dla produktów biurowych wraz z XM Cyber jako wzmocnienie warstwy bezpieczeństwa.

“This new partnership will enable the companies of Schwarz Group to combine its leadership in digital transformation with Google Cloud’s strengths in productivity, collaboration and security, enabled by our cutting-edge AI,” said Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google and Alphabet. “Together, we are opening up a world of new, sovereign opportunities for European organizations to innovate and build on our joint solutions, accelerating a new era of innovation.”

Google Workspace and Schwarz Digits’ Cloud STACKIT have joined forces to deliver secure cloud-based collaboration solutions for regulated industries in Germany and Europe. This partnership will provide options for client-side encryption of Google Workspace data, ensuring the protection of sensitive information in industries such as finance, healthcare, and the public sector. The data will remain within the EU and will be backed up in STACKIT’s European data centers to meet customer demands for data protection, residency, and resiliency.

“Germany and the EU have until now lacked enterprise-grade cloud collaboration solutions that fully address the sovereignty requirements of regulated industries, including ensuring all data is secured and backed up on local soil with absolutely no opportunity for access by foreign nations or platform providers,” said Rolf Schumann, Co-CEO of Schwarz Digits, the IT- and digital division of Schwarz Group. “Our partnership and new offering with Google Cloud will fill this gap with an entirely new business model.”

Client-side encryption gives customers exclusive control over their encryption keys, ensuring complete control over access to their data. As a platform provider, Google has no access, protecting the sovereignty of Schwarz Group companies and all customers who value independence in their operations. This provides full confidence that their data is always under their control.

Enhancing digital resilience with Google Cloud and XM Cyber

The partnership aims to enhance collaboration in the field of cyber security, with a focus on helping customers build a strong foundation for cyber readiness and resilience.

Google Cloud’s security solutions will be integrated with XM Cyber’s, Schwarz Digits’ hybrid cloud security company, and distributed to customers through the Google Cloud Marketplace. These advanced security solutions will enable German and European organizations, especially those in highly regulated industries, to elevate their enterprise and multicloud security. Additionally, XM Cyber’s Continuous Exposure Management will be integrated into the sovereign Google Workspace solution for European enterprises.

“This partnership changes the game for regulated industry players in Europe by removing the sovereignty and security concerns that often hold back more ambitious adoption of the cloud for productivity and collaboration,” said Thomas Kurian, CEO, Google Cloud. “Our alliance with companies of Schwarz Group will enable entire industries in Europe to deliver digital innovation with security and compliance at its core.”

Revolutionizing the workforce on a large scale

As Schwarz Group companies shift their global office workforce to Google Workspace, they are prioritizing data security and flexibility by ensuring that critical workplace data is protected and can be transferred to other service providers if necessary.

“Switching to Google Workspace is an important step for us out of legacy and into innovative, efficient and future proof cloud-based collaboration,” said Christian Müller, Co-CEO of Schwarz Digits. “Google Workspace is the most secure and reliable productivity platform in the industry today, and we expect our organization-wide migration to have significant flow-on benefits to all areas of operations from simplifying IT management to rendering our point-of-sale workflows significantly more efficient.”
