SAP expands its Databricks partnership with Lakebase and Agent Bricks

What is changing?

SAP says it will expand SAP Databricks inside Business Data Cloud with Lakeflow, Agent Bricks, Unity Gateway and Lakebase. A new SAP Application Data Foundation is designed to make SAP application data available in selected Business Data Cloud engines, including SAP Databricks, through a cloud-native access layer.

SAP also announced an integration between Joule and Databricks Genie. In the company’s manufacturing example, sales, inventory and supply-chain data from SAP Business Data Cloud can be enriched with third-party information so teams can build demand-forecasting models and data products on top of that context. SAP BDC Connect is intended to share those products without creating additional copies and pipelines.

The announcement focuses on grounding enterprise AI agents in company processes and business semantics rather than general model knowledge alone. Regional availability, pricing and rollout timing were not detailed, so teams should separately test data governance, permissions and the accuracy of Joule–Genie outputs in production.
