SAP promises to open out data flows in both directions
SAP moves from a closed application storage model to an open lakehouse architecture, addressing long-standing coupling between AI analytics and ERP upgrade paths. The move supports both modern S/4HANA Cloud and legacy ECC systems, enabling data access from on-premises or hosted systems. This follows SAP's 2024 acquisition of Dremio and represents a shift in the company's data strategy.
Key points
- SAP adopted Apache Iceberg for open lakehouse architecture
- Extended Databricks partnership bridges cloud analytics and legacy ECC systems
- Decouples AI analytics from ERP upgrade requirements
- Supports bidirectional data sharing across enterprise systems
