Palantir and SAP accelerate large-scale data migrations by up to 5x
Palantir and SAP are undertaking a joint effort to operationalize AI-powered solutions across large-scale enterprise data migrations, enabling secure modernization and confident adoption of advanced AI capabilities.
Background
Over the past few decades, large global companies have built highly customized environments spanning SAP and a wide range of non-SAP systems that underpin critical functions—from finance and logistics to procurement and asset management. These landscapes encode years of operational decisions, regulatory requirements, and institutional knowledge directly into enterprise systems. At this scale, complexity isn’t incidental; it’s a defining characteristic of how an organization operates and differentiates itself.
This complexity represents significant strategic value, but it also obscures visibility. Custom workflows, tightly coupled dependencies, and undocumented logic often span hundreds of systems, making it difficult for leaders to clearly understand what exists, how systems interact, and where risk truly resides. Modernization at this scale requires a fundamental level of insight into enterprise data and architecture—without slowing execution or forcing discovery and delivery into separate, sequential efforts.
As enterprises modernize mission‑critical systems and transition to secure, cloud‑native operations, success depends on a different approach to data migration. Conventional methods, which are designed for more uniform environments, rely heavily on manual discovery and standard patterns that break down in highly distributed, multi‑system landscapes. A specialized framework incorporating AI‑enabled processes is required to surface hidden dependencies, reconcile inconsistencies, and translate complexity into clear, actionable insight—giving leaders the confidence to move forward more rapidly while preserving the value embedded in decades of customization and avoiding disruption to critical operations.
A pioneering partnership between two engineering giants
SAP is seeing growing demand from customers to accelerate their move to the cloud and adopt business AI capabilities—particularly in environments where legacy SAP and non‑SAP complexity exceeds typical patterns. In response, Palantir and SAP have partnered strategically and technically to help enterprises navigate data migrations and transformations that go beyond standard modernization approaches.
This cooperation builds on the SAP–Palantir partnership announced at SAP Sapphire last year and represents a deeper level of collaboration. SAP’s agent‑led toolchain serves as a foundational standard for enterprise modernization, while the partnership extends specialized AI-powered capabilities to high-complexity migration and transformation scenarios. Through close technical integration, Palantir complements SAP by making deeply embedded complexity visible and actionable, accelerating modernization efforts and giving leaders the clarity and confidence to take full advantage of advanced AI capabilities across both platforms.
Accelerate modernization efforts through dedicated migration products and customer engagement
The RISE with SAP journey offers a guided, low-disruption path to the cloud, delivering flexibility, faster deployment, and long-term cost efficiency while meeting strict security and compliance standards. By combining SAP’s enterprise applications, data, and embedded AI with Palantir Foundry and AIP, the partnership helps organizations target high-value datasets, understand system interdependencies, and reduce manual discovery across large-scale environments. The result is accelerated modernization with greater confidence—preserving operational continuity while preparing enterprises for cloud-native, AI-enabled operations.
Looking ahead
Given the criticality of the workflows built across our platforms, Palantir and SAP remain committed to technical and strategic integrations that maximize outcomes and enable confident transformation while minimizing disruptions.
