Databricks and SAP expand partnership to bring Databricks into SAP Business Data Cloud

Databricks and SAP announced at SAP TechEd an expanded partnership that will bring Databricks capabilities, including Genie, Lakeflow, Unity Gateway and Lakebase, into SAP Databricks inside SAP Business Data Cloud.

Databricks says the planned integration will let customers use SAP application data through zero-copy access via SAP Application Data Foundation and SAP BDC Connect, without building custom extraction pipelines. The integration is planned, and no release date has been given.

Databricks says the SAP Application Data Foundation simplifies access to cloud and on-premises SAP application data and can reduce custom pipelines, total cost of ownership and time to value. Databricks says the capabilities will let teams use that data for analytics, apps and AI agents.
