SAP has acquired data lakehouse platform Dremio, enabling the enterprise applications provider to integrate its own and third-party data in its SAP Business Data Cloud and to support analytical and agentic artificial intelligence workloads.The deal, which remains subject to regulatory approval, would help eliminate bottlenecks to take customers from fragmented data to governed intelligence on a single open platform, the companies said.
“Enterprise AI doesn’t stall because the models aren’t good enough; it stalls because the data isn’t ready for AI agents,” said Philipp Herzig, SAP chief technology officer. “We can now take customers from raw, fragmented data to governed, AI-ready intelligence on a single open platform.”
The platform will use Apache Iceberg as a native foundation to unify data sources without requiring format conversion.
The agreement follows SAP investments in open-source projects and is expected to close in the third quarter of this year.
