SAP SE disclosed in a 6-K filed October 26 that it closed its acquisition of Reltio for US$1,259 million, the majority paid in cash. The stated aim is to give SAP's Business Data Cloud the ability to supply governed, context-rich master data to AI agents across an enterprise.

The acquisition is expected to help SAP to strengthen SAP Business Data Cloud (SAP BDC) and accelerate the evolution of SAP BDC to a fully interoperable enterprise data platform for enterprise-wide agentic AI and accelerate its customers' ability to govern and expose master data as trusted and context-rich data products across multiple sources that serve both traditional analytics workloads and AI agents.
