The corporate digital landscape is ever-changing, and in light of increasingly demanding requirements for insights and AI, SAP customers seek to expand their horizons in data and analytics. SAP itself also acts in accordance with these developments through strategic technological acquisitions and partnerships, one of which is that with Databricks.
Databricks has proven its merit in complex landscapes with both its Lakehouse architecture using Delta Lake, and a powerful suite of AI features that makes it a leader in the market space. At Expertum, we have seen the value that Databricks can bring at SAP customers and have experienced their solutions firsthand.
According to Dick Groenhof (Data & Analytics Consultant), this development closely aligns with the needs of many SAP customers:
“A lot of our Expertum customers use both SAP and Databricks within their organization. Helping them bridge the gap between the two, by ensuring they can seamlessly use their SAP data within Databricks, is essential for enabling advanced analytics and AI use cases.”
Today, we take the next step towards helping our customers leverage the synergies between SAP and Databricks by becoming an official Databricks partner. This will allow us to assist Databricks with various SAP-related cases using our decades of expertise and knowledge, while at the same time expanding our skills and experience in the Databricks solutions. The result: a more effective, skilled and diverse service offering for our customers.
Rogier Schipper (Business Manager) highlights the strategic importance of this combination:
“SAP excels at running core business processes, but organizations increasingly need to combine SAP data with data from other source systems. Databricks provides the scalable data and AI platform that enables this integration, allowing businesses to move beyond reporting and unlock advanced analytics, machine learning, and generative AI use cases.”
