In a groundbreaking move, SAP has unveiled its latest solution, SAP Business Data Cloud, in partnership with Databricks. This innovative platform is set to transform the way businesses approach artificial intelligence (AI) by providing a unified, governed data foundation that harmonizes data from various sources, including SAP and third-party applications. By combining SAP's unique expertise in mission-critical, end-to-end processes and semantically rich data with Databricks' world-class data engineering capabilities, this partnership aims to unlock the full potential of enterprise data for AI-driven decision-making.



The partnership between SAP and Databricks addresses the challenges of combining SAP data with external data sources, enabling customers to integrate SAP data with the rest of the enterprise data for advanced analytics and AI use cases, including agent systems. The native integration of Databricks technology in SAP Business Data Cloud allows for bi-directional data sharing between SAP Databricks and the enterprise environment, ensuring that SAP data retains all of its semantics. This integration simplifies the process of combining SAP data with external data sources, fostering a data product economy that delivers fully-managed SAP data products across all business processes.



SAP Business Data Cloud empowers customers to unlock insights and business value from context-rich SAP data in both SAP Databricks and all existing and new Databricks deployments via Delta Sharing. This dramatically increases the productivity of teams trying to use these data sets, enabling them to make more impactful decisions and drive innovation across their businesses.

One of the key benefits of this partnership is the improvement in AI agents, such as Joule, SAP's generative AI copilot. By combining SAP's unique expertise in mission-critical, end-to-end processes and semantically rich data with Databricks' world-class data engineering capabilities, customers can build more reliable and context-aware AI that recognizes patterns and understands how they relate to business operations. This enhanced AI capability enables businesses to accelerate cross-functional workflows and improve business decision-making.



In conclusion, the partnership between SAP and Databricks marks a new era in enterprise data management, redefining how applications and data platforms work together. By combining the strengths of both companies, SAP Business Data Cloud with Databricks integration offers a powerful solution for businesses looking to unlock the full potential of their data for AI-driven decision-making.
