Confluent Invests in Onibex Amid Increased Demand for Complete Data Streaming Platforms

Onibex has received an investment from Confluent, Inc., the pioneer in data streaming, to help meet the growing demand for comprehensive data streaming platforms and deliver real-time applications to businesses worldwide. Onibex leverages Confluent Cloud and Platform to seamlessly connect SAP data with other operational systems in real time, offering advanced data integration solutions. This strategic partnership accelerates Onibex's mission to empower SAP customers to unlock the full potential of their data. Together, we will bridge the gap between legacy systems and modern, event-driven architectures, enabling SAP customers to make real-time decisions, enhance user experience and drive business innovation. 

The Growing Impact of Data Streaming on Business Transformation 

According to Confluent’s latest data streaming report, the vast majority of IT leaders (86%) cite data streaming as a strategic priority for IT investment. As organizations continue to gain significant ROI and benefits from real-time data, there is an increasing need for data streaming platforms across a wide range of business functions and industries. ISG Software Research states “by 2026, more than one-half of enterprises will adopt specialist real-time analytic data platforms to develop and support data-intensive operational applications.” 

“We cannot capture the $60 billion data streaming market alone,” said Paul Mac Farland, SVP of Partner and Innovation Ecosystem, Confluent. “Partners like Onibex play a critical role in building a strong data streaming ecosystem that solves our customers’ biggest data challenges. Together, we can enable real-time innovation and transform the future of business with data streaming.” 

Liberate your SAP ECC & S/4HANA data for real-time user experiences & decision-making 

Onibex is a proven Premium Confluent partner, selected for the recently launched “Build with Confluent” partner program. Rather than starting from scratch, Build with Confluent gives RSIs access to Confluent’s DSP—the market’s most comprehensive solution for connecting, streaming, processing, and managing customer data anywhere—so partners can build joint solutions faster. 

SAP data is a crucial business asset that supports enterprises worldwide, but many organizations find connecting SAP systems to other data sources challenging and complex. Onibex’s “One Connect” solution democratizes real-time data across the enterprise through comprehensive and secure integration between SAP ECC and SAP S/4HANA with Confluent Kafka. It empowers the entire organization with real-time insights into inventory, sales, procurement, and more. Additionally, it leverages a pre-packaged SAP ERP data dictionary and provides solutions for analytics, AI models, and integration with Salesforce, Databricks, Snowflake, PowerBI, Tableau, and other platforms. 

“By connecting Confluent and SAP using ‘One Connect,’ organizations can easily adopt event-driven architectures to decouple system integration and democratize data across the enterprise, enabling real-time user experiences and decision-making,” said Gustavo Estrada, CEO and Chief Architect, Onibex. “Confluent’s investment will go toward expanding our 'One Connect' platform, making seamless data integration between SAP and Confluent Cloud within hours a reality.”
