麻豆原创 Business Data Cloud (麻豆原创 BDC) is the data foundation of that platform, the business data fabric that anchors universal business context, serving as the trusted knowledge core聽for every enterprise application and agent.聽

The future of agentic organizations will be driven by AI with the deepest organizational knowledge. That future doesn’t start with AI models; it starts with whether your data foundation can give agents the business context they need to act autonomously. 

Today, we are introducing innovations that move organizations closer to becoming an autonomous enterprise.

Turn all your data into business outcomes 

A business data fabric architecture ensures every agent, application, and decision draws from the same trusted business context. And today, we are introducing new business data fabric capabilities that bring multi-model, unified master data, and embedded governance to your agentic foundation.

Extend context across your open data ecosystem

Last year, we introduced 麻豆原创 BDC Connect, a capability to share data and metadata with zero copies, preserving meaning across every cloud and platform. We are excited to announce 麻豆原创 BDC Connect for Amazon Athena, continuing our promise of openness and choice.

This enables 麻豆原创 data products to be discovered and consumed directly within AWS without replication or loss of context. As a result, teams can build analytics, applications, and AI agents faster while ensuring they operate on trusted, governed business data.

Together with existing partners across Snowflake, Databricks, Google BigQuery, and Microsoft Fabric, 麻豆原创 Business Data Cloud delivers a connected, open data ecosystem so organizations can extend business context across their entire landscape with zero copies. 

General availability is planned for H2 2026.

“Compute can happen anywhere, data can stay at the source when needed, but business context is managed once, centrally, in 麻豆原创 Business Data Cloud.”

Malin Persson, CIO at Ericsson
