SAN JOSE, Calif., May 20, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Today at Sapphire 2025 ArchLynk, the premier SAP Supply Chain and Global Trade consulting powerhouse, and Marlabs, a vanguard in Data and AI solutions and a leading Databricks implementation partner, announced a dynamic strategic partnership. This partnership is explicitly positioned to jumpstart enterprise AI and Analytics by building a foundation of harmonized data across ecosystems utilizing Databricks within SAP Business Data Cloud (BDC).
"Supply Chain leaders can no longer succeed with slow decision making on incomplete, stale data," said Dave Medd, CEO of ArchLynk. "ArchLynk brings SAPs Business Data Cloud together with Databricks to drive faster AI powered Supply Chain decisions"
"A key challenge in maximizing the value of Databricks has been seamless access to high-value business data, especially from SAP Supply Chain systems," said Thomas Collins, CEO of Marlabs. "This partnership eliminates that barrier by enabling a unified, AI-ready data foundation—harmonizing SAP, non-SAP and unstructured data through Databricks' open Lakehouse architecture."
By leveraging the native integration between SAP and Databricks, ArchLynk and Marlabs will provide unparalleled expertise in building robust data pipelines and governance frameworks. ArchLynk believes this partnership will uniquely bridge the gap between operational supply chain data within SAP and the innovative data science and AI capabilities of Databricks, delivering significant business value to their clients.
