SAP dives deeper into Iceberg with Dremio acquisition
On Monday, SAP announced acquisitions of data lakehouse platform Dremio and AI model maker Prior Labs to strengthen its enterprise data foundation for agentic AI deployments.
SAP committed more than €1bn over four years to scale Prior Labs, the pioneer of Tabular Foundation Models and its flagship TabPFN model for structured business data.
Addressing infrastructure gaps, SAP CTO Philipp Herzig stated, "Enterprise AI doesn't stall because the models aren't good enough; it stalls because the data isn't ready for AI agents." Dremio's platform integrates non-SAP data for real-time workloads.
At SAP Sapphire 2026 next week, CEO Christian Klein will detail fundamental portfolio changes, including agentic AI governance and domain knowledge infusion into SAP AI agents.
Unlike Large Language Models , Tabular Foundation Models are purpose-built to predict business outcomes using structured data, addressing challenges in retrofitting models across complex finance stacks.
The software company SAP is actually doing well, but the share has halved its value. Investors fear artificial intelligence will attack the business model. The Group holds against it and sees itself in a good position.
