When using Databricks for AI, ML, or analytics use cases, you often encounter the following challenges when integrating with SAP:
- Proprietary SAP structures: SAP tables and business logic cannot be integrated natively into a data lakehouse without additional effort.
- Performance bottlenecks with large data volumes: Direct API inserts into databases or data warehouse engines are often too slow for large volumes of SAP data and put a strain on the source system.
- Heterogeneous cloud infrastructures: Depending on their multi-cloud strategy, companies need to route data flexibly through different storage providers (Azure, AWS, GCP) without creating data silos.
