Growing the Databricks Ecosystem - SAP Partnership & Bladebridge Acquisition

We are looking to grow the Databricks Community in Vancouver and excited to host our first Databricks Vancouver Meetup. Everyone is welcome. Please join us at the Deloitte Office located at 410 W Georgia St

Last month, Databrick announced a new partnership with SAP which we think can be game changing for our industry. In short, it is the marriage between the most important business data for enterprises globally (SAP data) and the best data platform in the market (Databricks).

Databricks has expanded its portfolio with the acquisition of BladeBridge, a startup specializing in enterprise data warehouse migration solutions. The acquisition aims to enable businesses to easily transition from over 20 data warehouses, including Snowflake and Teradata, to Databricks SQL.

Last week Databricks announced a new feature within Workflows - Automatic Publishing to Power BI" - we will also spend a few minutes talking about this new announcements and what it means for any clients leveraging Power BI today.
