WALLDORF and AUSTIN\u00a0\u2014\u00a0SAP SE<\/a>\u00a0(NYSE: SAP)\u00a0and Dremio today announced that SAP has agreed to acquire Dremio, an open, high-performance data lakehouse platform built to accelerate agentic AI and expand SAP Business Data Cloud\u2019s\u00a0ability to combine SAP and non-SAP data to more effectively run analytical and AI workloads in real time.<\/p>\n

Terms of the deal were not disclosed. The transaction is still pending regulatory approval.<\/p>\n

Most enterprise AI projects fail to deliver value not because of the AI itself, but because the underlying data is fragmented, locked in proprietary formats and stripped of the business context that makes it meaningful. The result is a familiar and costly pattern: pilots that cannot scale, slow integration of new data sources, duplicated engineering work and compliance risk when organizations cannot explain how an AI-driven decision was reached. Dremio helps eliminate that data fragmentation and integration friction. The acquisition will complement the SAP Business Data Cloud and SAP HANA Cloud offerings to ensure seamless data integration across SAP and non-SAP data with high performance and low cost to accelerate AI-ready context and time-to-value for AI.<\/p>\n

\u201cEnterprise AI doesn\u2019t stall because the models aren\u2019t good enough; it stalls because the data isn\u2019t ready for AI agents,\u201d said Philipp Herzig, CTO, SAP SE. \u201d Dremio eliminates that bottleneck. Combined with SAP Business Data Cloud, we can now take customers from raw, fragmented data to governed, AI-ready intelligence on a single open platform.\u201d<\/p>\n

With Dremio, SAP Business Data Cloud will become an Apache Iceberg-native enterprise lakehouse that unifies SAP and non-SAP data to power agentic AI at enterprise scale. Apache Iceberg is the industry-standard open table format, and SAP Business Data Cloud will natively support it as its foundation. This means no data movement or format conversion will be necessary. SAP and non-SAP data can coexist on the same open foundation, with federated analytical reach across every enterprise data source, combined with SAP HANA Cloud\u2019s in-memory engine for real-time transactions and operational performance.<\/p>\n

The Dremio lakehouse platform is set to vastly improve the economics of enterprise analytics. It is serverless and elastic, scaling up automatically when demand spikes and scaling back down when it subsides, meaning no fixed capacity to provision and no performance ceiling when it matters most.<\/p>\n

With Dremio, SAP will deliver a universal, open catalog built on Apache Polaris and the open Apache Iceberg REST Catalog API. It serves as both the discovery and semantic layer of SAP Business Data Cloud, giving every connected engine \u2013 SAP or non-SAP \u2013 a single point of access to unified business context: meaning, relationships, access rights and data lineage. This catalog will form the foundation of the SAP Knowledge Graph, embedding business relationships, organizational hierarchies, regulatory classifications and cross-system lineage as native properties.<\/p>\n

Dremio has been a leading steward of open-source projects at the heart of its platform: Apache Iceberg, Apache Polaris and Apache Arrow, and SAP is fully committed to continuing to invest in and prioritize these contributions.<\/p>\n

The transaction is expected to close in Q3 of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals.<\/p>\n
