Unveiling Innovation: SAP Databricks
In February, the unification of SAP and Databricks’ data platform was announced. SAP is the world’s largest provider of enterprise application software and encompasses various functions such as ERP, CRM, SCM, BI, and Cloud Services.
SAP customers generate 84% of total global commerce, and the SAP Business Network produces over $6.3 trillion in annual commerce.
The seamless integration between SAP data products and Databricks is enabled by zero-copy bi-directional data sharing, all governed by Databricks’ Unity Catalog.
The new offering is part of SAP Business Data Cloud, which is available on AWS. Its robust capabilities encompass artificial intelligence, data warehousing, and data engineering.
SAP Databricks offers an unparalleled opportunity for Apex’s clients to take advantage of the full potential of their extensive SAP data. A seamless blend of proprietary and innovative technologies will enable the creation of cutting-edge use cases that are both cost-effective and highly efficient.
Apex Systems has a history of delivering talent across SAP Functional and Technical roles. More than 900 Apex consultants have supported SAP workloads over the last 15 years.
As a strong Databricks consulting partner in the Manufacturing and Energy space, Apex is uniquely positioned to offer our clients tailor-made insights. By utilizing the power of SAP Databricks, we will help customers drive new AI workstreams and solutions.
“SAP Databricks is set to revolutionize how our customers harness their data,” said Cameron Masilionis , Apex’s Databricks Alliance Director.
“Imagine unlocking unprecedented insights through real-time analytics and tapping into powerful AI applications that were once beyond reach. This partnership is a game-changer, and we can't wait to collaborate with our clients to explore the limitless possibilities it brings.”
With this partnership, enterprises can now combine SAP data with the rest of their operation. Data from a range of business divisions, including sales, supply chain, finance, and products, can be leveraged to optimize efficiency and better serve customers.
By integrating SAP’s business semantics with Databricks’ open-source framework, Apex clients will benefit from AI-Powered Business Process Optimization. In addition, data-driven personalization enhances the customer experience.
According to a Databricks blog post: “SAP Business Data Cloud empowers customers to unlock insights and business value of context-rich SAP data in both SAP Databricks and all existing and new Databricks deployments via Delta Sharing. We expect this to dramatically increase the productivity of teams trying to use these data sets.”
