At SAP’s recent virtual event, SAP Business Unleashed, SAP announced the launch of their new data and analytics offering, SAP Business Cloud, that will transform the way companies deliver on data and AI strategies. We are thrilled to share that Collibra, an established partner in SAP’s open data ecosystem, will continue to be a key partner around unified governance for data and AI with SAP Business Data Cloud. This marks the third consecutive year that Collibra has participated in an Unleashed event.
In this rapidly evolving data and AI-driven environment, the gap between what organizations want to do with their data and what they can do with it is only increasing. The fragmentation of governance across data platforms and data sources has become a critical blocker for organizations to deliver trusted and compliant data effectively. Unified governance for data and AI ensures end to end visibility, traceability and reliability of data and AI – so organizations can move forward with confidence.
SAP selected Collibra as their governance partner of choice to help organizations tackle these challenges by prioritizing unified and comprehensive governance for data and AI with integrated data quality, AI Governance and end-to-end lineage capabilities for SAP and non-SAP data. The partnership enhances data understanding across your entire organization by leveraging the strengths of both companies to offer a holistic solution.
SAP Business Data Cloud
SAP Business Data Cloud is a fully managed SaaS solution that unifies and governs all SAP data and seamlessly connects with third-party data—giving line-of-business leaders context to make even more impactful decisions.
SAP Business Data Cloud delivers fully managed SAP Insight Apps and data products across all business processes—like finance, workforce and supply chain.

Collibra and SAP Business Data Cloud
As we look to the future with SAP Business Data Cloud, Collibra will continue to co-innovate with SAP so our joint customers can:
- Gain complete visibility and traceability of data: Ensure both data and AI can be governed and held to higher quality standards to enforce compliance
- Deliver trusted data products to the right people: Enable governance, quality and trust for your data products to benefit all data users across the organization
- Realize the power of the open data ecosystem: Collaborate across SAP, Databricks and the broader data ecosystem to deliver flexibility and accelerate value creation
AI with data products and data quality
Lines of business are clamoring to leverage data for innovative AI use cases, and data products pave the way for scaling trusted and compliant data use, enabling your teams to innovate with it effectively. The Collibra and SAP partnership has been built on a shared commitment to help customers capture the value of their data and, with this latest evolution, their trusted data products.
With Collibra’s integration with SAP, your data owners have the flexibility to govern their data products, ensuring your organization remains safe and compliant within a federated governance model. With the increased use of data products alongside the automation of tasks with AI, there is even more pressure to ensure your data is of high quality, and it becomes critical that data reliability is monitored continuously, to flag inconsistencies or anomalies.
However, it’s easy to underestimate the challenge of validating data quality across all of your systems, especially when data can be owned by a multitude of stakeholders. Collibra, working with SAP, can help you identify and fix data issues at scale, including validating data accuracy, completeness and consistency across systems.
By combining unified governance along with data quality, and ensuring governance of AI, you can improve the reliability of your data products and AI use cases while empowering your teams to confidently create new ones that continuously build on previous successes. For example, bringing a customer profile data product together with a product usage data product could be used to develop a new data product that provides insights into which customer segments are using which products. This information can be used by AI to make highly relevant product recommendations. And with access through native integrations into Snowflake, Databricks, Google Cloud, AWS and more, data, regardless of where it’s located can be leveraged for deeper insights.
A commitment to continued innovation
As we enter this new and exciting era with SAP Business Data Cloud, our product, engineering and field teams continue to work together to expand on our joint product roadmap with SAP Datasphere to include SAP Business Data Cloud. Collibra and SAP will continue our close collaboration and joint innovation to help our customers solve complex data governance challenges. Working together, organizations can create a unified data and AI landscape to enable all users to understand and use data effectively.
As SAP Business Data Cloud evolves, Collibra will remain committed to addressing the challenges of governance fragmentation and ensuring data reliability, so our shared customers can confidently build a data-driven future, where trusted data products and AI-driven insights drive innovation and success.
