SAP to Databricks: Making the data journey work


Modern organizations rely on SAP as the digital backbone for core business processes—from finance and procurement to supply chain and operations. But when it comes to advanced analytics, real-time insights, and AI/ML innovation, SAP alone often isn't enough.

This is where Databricks comes in.

Databricks + SAP: A powerful combination

Databricks brings cloud-native scalability, open data formats, and advanced analytics capabilities that complement the robustness of SAP systems.

  • Learn proven methods to extract SAP data efficiently. Skip the trial and error phase and get straight to techniques that actually work in production environments.
  • See real-world implementation challenges and solutions. Søstrene Grene will share what went wrong, what went right, and what they wish they'd known from day one.
  • Discover how to build analytics pipelines that scale. Move beyond basic reporting to create data workflows that grow with your business needs.
  • Get practical guidance on integration architecture. Understand the technical decisions that make or break your SAP-Databricks connection, from security to performance.
  • Walk away with actionable next steps. No fluff or theory - you'll leave with a clear roadmap for implementing this in your own organization.

Join us to learn the practical steps for getting your SAP data into Databricks, featuring real lessons from Søstrene Grene's implementation journey.

Agenda

  • Welcome and Introduction to Inspari and the Webinar

  • Part 1: SAP + Databricks
    We will start by sharing our experience and insights on how Databricks complements the SAP platform. 
    • Architecture choices: How to best integrate SAP and Databricks without compromising on data security and governance
    • Performance: How to leverage Databricks' scalable data processing to enable faster and more flexible analytics on SAP data.
    • Cost optimization: How to avoid expensive and unnecessary data duplication or transformation - for instance, in SAP Datasphere.

We will focus on scenarios where Databricks brings tangible value.

  • Part 2: Business Value in Practice – The Søstrene Grene Case
    Mikkel Hyldig, Head of BI at Søstrene Grene, shares why fast access to data from POS systems and SAP via Databricks and Power BI is critical. We’ll dive into how the architecture provides clarity, flexibility, and daily business value.
    • Preparing and engaging the organisation in the process - it's not only a BI-project! (IT, end-users, C-level and more, play a significant role in collaboration, acceptance, expertise and sponsorship) 

    • Treat the implementation as a project: the importance of clear goals and objectives, roadmap with deadlines and allocated resources to ensure progress and motivation

    • New platform, new possibilities: Be prepared to embrace new  organisational needs fostered by a new platform

  • Q&A

Jens & Mikkel will go live on the 30. September!
