In Asia-Pacific and Japan (APJ), SAP grew cloud revenue to €417 million for that period, an increase of 28 per sent over same period in 2021, with Japan and India showing particular momentum. Total APJ Q4 2022 revenue grew to €1.171 billion.

SAP president (APJ) Paul Marriott said that digital transformation, supply chain innovation, and sustainable business models continue to be critical for long-term strategic success.
