Deloitte expands collaboration with Databricks and SAP

Delivering advanced ERP solutions on new SAP Business Data Cloud

The ability to integrate and harness data from disparate sources is an important step for organizations looking to gain a competitive edge with AI deployments. Yet harmonizing siloed systems and building custom ingestion capabilities can be costly and complex. Recognizing this imperative, Deloitte is expanding its alliance relationships with Databricks and SAP to implement their newly launched SAP Business Data Cloud and unlock data-driven insights with greater speed and scale for clients. SAP Business Data Cloud is a fully managed SaaS solution that unifies and governs all SAP data and can seamlessly connect with third-party data—giving line-of-business leaders context to make even more impactful decisions.

By integrating Databricks' advanced data capabilities into SAP Business Data Cloud, clients can manage SAP and non-SAP workloads more efficiently and securely and drive decision-making with real-time data. As organizations continue to navigate an increasingly data-driven world, this initiative underscores our shared commitment with Databricks and SAP to help clients achieve competitive advantage through real-time analytics, unified governance and deeper integration.

Unlocking value through integration

At the heart of this collaboration lies the new SAP Databricks offering,  a version of the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform that is natively integrated into SAP Business Data Cloud to unify semantically rich, business-ready data with AI/ML, data science, and data engineering capabilities. With SAP Databricks, clients can combine their SAP data with non-SAP data in Databricks, including structured and unstructured data, for unified, cross-functional insights. Together with Deloitte, SAP Databricks can accelerate the value realization of SAP Business Data Cloud and SAP Business Suite, using AI and data analytics on the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform. 

“With SAP Business Data Cloud, both customers and partners participate in the new data products economy, driving reliable business AI, and unlocking new, differentiated use cases with Insights apps," said Irfan Khan, President and Chief Product Officer for data & analytics at SAP. "Adding Deloitte’s strong investments in domain knowledge and diverse industry solutions to this formula will help our joint clients streamline their operations and create more agile workflows for their daily work.”

“Deloitte’s deep experience with both SAP and Databricks technology makes this an invaluable collaboration as we help organizations integrate their data,” said Andy Kofoid, President of Global Field Operations at Databricks. “In this new era of operational efficiency, we look forward to, together, enabling hyper-personalized customer interactions, improving supply and demand forecasting, and optimizing decision-making for improved customer outcomes.”

Deloitte’s deep experience with both SAP and Databricks technology makes them an invaluable relationship as we help organizations seamlessly integrate their data.
