We are excited to share that SAP Business Data Cloud (SAP BDC) Connect for Azure Databricks is generally available. With this announcement, Azure Databricks customers like you, can connect your SAP BDC environment to your existing Azure Databricks instance – without copying the data – to enable bi-directional, live data sharing.
Connecting SAP data with other enterprise data prevents governance risk, compliance gaps, and data silos. In addition, maintenance costs are also reduced and manual building of semantics is no longer needed.
SAP data products can now be shared directly via Delta Sharing into your existing Azure Databricks instances ensuring complete context for your business.
You can now unify your data estate across Azure Databricks and SAP BDC This makes it easier for you to:
- Enforce governance
- Power analytics, data warehousing, BI and AI
Connecting SAP BDC to Azure Databricks is simple, secure, and fast. The connection is trusted and requires approval from both platforms to enable bi-directional sharing of data products. Once approved, data products in SAP BDC can be directly mounted into Azure Databricks Unity Catalog and are treated like other assets shared using Delta sharing. As a result, your teams can query, analyze, and gather insights on SAP data in addition to your existing business data in one unified way. Instead of spending time gathering the data in once place, your teams can instead focus on unlocking insights from this unified data quickly and securely.
This launch complements SAP Databricks in SAP BDC running on Azure that enables AI, ML, data engineering, and data warehousing capabilities directly inside your SAP environment. We have expanded the list of supported regions for SAP Databricks on SAP BDC running on Azure.
