Long-term consistent data management is a complex challenge for organizations because data is often stored in different systems and locations. As a result, companies must extract data from multiple sources and export it to a central location, which can lead to a loss of important contextual information. SAP Datasphere is the next generation of SAP's data management portfolio, enabling customers to easily access ready-to-use data across the entire data landscape.

2. who are SAP's new partners and what contribution do they make?
Partnerships between technology companies are essential for a comprehensive data strategy today. Companies often have data landscapes consisting of multiple cloud platforms, sometimes with different providers, combined with on-premises and hosted systems.
SAP therefore aims to break new ground by collaborating with a select group of leading partners to create open data ecosystems that enable hundreds of millions of users worldwide to make informed, business-critical decisions.
SAP has unveiled four companies it will work with in the future to facilitate data exchange between companies, as well as data analytics and data management. The four companies are as follows.:
- Databricks,
- Confluent,
- Collibra and
- DataRobot.
By partnering with these data and AI companies, SAP Datasphere enables companies to build a unified data architecture that securely brings together SAP software and third-party data.
By cooperating with Databricks, SAP data can be integrated across the entire data lakehouse without losing its context. Confluent 's integration enables the transfer and application of real-time event and streaming data. The partnership with Collibra aims to build consistent data governance, and the cooperation with DataRobot builds augmented intelligence into the existing system.
