Data streaming platform Confluent is now available on SAP Store, the online marketplace for SAP and partner offerings.
By integrating with SAP Datasphere, Confluent said it aims to provide customers with a cloud-native data streaming platform to connect and process SAP systems data in real time.
According to Erica Schultz, Confluent’s President of Field Operations, “connecting siloed teams and applications with real-time data streams creates a powerful network effect that opens new avenues for growth and innovation.”
We’re now giving our customers a simple way to connect their data from SAP solutions with downstream systems while avoiding the costs and complexities of open-source infrastructure management”, she said.
Founded by the original creators of open-source distributed event streaming platform Apache Kafka, which is used by more than 80% of all Fortune 100 companies according to its website, Confluent provides businesses that use SAP solutions with a cloud-native and complete data streaming platform available everywhere it’s needed—in the cloud, across clouds, on-premises, and hybrid environments.
The company said that the new Confluent integration allows businesses to build real-time applications at a lower cost with fully managed data streams. It can also help SAP data merge with third-party sources via 120+ pre-built connectors, including AWS Redshift, AWS S3, Databricks, Google Cloud BigQuery, MongoDB, and Snowflake.
