Databricks and SAP connect business data for AI
Databricks and SAP are deepening their partnership to connect business data with advanced data and AI platforms directly within enterprise environments.

What happened?
Databricks and SAP have entered into a partnership to connect SAP’s business data with the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform. Through direct interoperability between the systems, companies can train and customise AI models using business context from their enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. The integration reduces the need for extensive data duplication between the platforms.

”Today's AI models are more capable than ever. What they still lack is the business context that makes enterprise data truly valuable.”
Why it matters
Large language models often lack the deep business context stored in enterprise ERP systems. By bringing together business logic from SAP with Databricks’ machine learning environment, companies can develop more precise AI agents and automated workflows.
Who is affected?
The collaboration primarily concerns enterprise architects, data engineers, and IT leadership at organisations that utilise both SAP for business processes and Databricks for analytics and AI.
Impact on the EU
The integration includes cloud services available in Europe. It provides European organisations with the ability to build AI solutions based on data within existing business systems.
What else you should know
The partnership reflects a growing trend where traditional business systems are integrated with specialised AI and data analytics platforms without requiring complex data transfers.
