The Silent Shift Happening In Enterprise Tech
A quiet transformation is reshaping enterprise technology. The loud phase of Cloud and AI-driven business transformations is giving way to something more foundational and profound: operational intelligence at scale. With the recent rollout of even more advanced AI models like GPT-5, the potential for smarter, more integrated systems is even greater than ever before. At the heart of this shift is a new enterprise architecture. It is one that integrates applications, data, and AI into a single, coordinated system that continuously improves. At SAP, we call this a flywheel of innovation. Or you can think of it as a chain reaction of smarter decisions. When clean, meaningful data flows through the right applications that are interconnected with each other and enhanced by AI that knows your business, your industry, and what's happening in the wider world, one smart decision leads to another one. It reorients your business processes without disrupting them. And it drives productivity gains and business outcomes at a scale that was not possible before. Part of the reason this is happening is because the technology is finally ready. Today, Cloud, data, and business AI have matured to a point where they can now be integrated together to drive even more meaningful gains. The early wave of AI led to automation that has delivered clear outcomes. For example, the American sugar grower, Western Sugar Cooperative, has been using SAP's AI to speed up their invoice processing, reducing the time it takes by 25% each month. But using AI to automate in isolation will only get you so far. Now, organizations are recognizing the need for systems that are not only automated but also orchestrated. That means aligning core processes across finance, supply chain, procurement, HR, and sales. with structured and unstructured data flowing seamlessly to create a unified data layer that is actionable. And it means using embedded AI to enhance decision-making, not just efficiency. This is not a technology upgrade. It is a business architecture transformation. The SAP Business Suite is built to deliver this transformation at scale. It brings together cloud ERP and line-of-business applications into a unified platform that is fully integrated, data-driven, and AI-powered by design. The architecture is designed around a clean core, extensibility through the SAP Business Technology Platform, and harmonized data delivered through the SAP Business Data Cloud. This foundation enables businesses to activate embedded intelligence in every part of their business. It is not just a collection of tools. It is a unified, intelligent platform designed to help businesses run better and grow faster. But what's making it truly transformative are the outcomes that it's making possible. Finance teams are starting to close books in days, not weeks. Planners are responding to supply chain shifts in real time. Employees in HR, procurement, and customer service are being assisted by AI agents that automate less important tasks so people can focus on what's more important. This is an early preview of the bigger transformative shifts that will happen with agentic AI. And when enterprises run better, people experience the difference. Deliveries arrive faster. Services are more responsive. And for those of us who are frequent fliers, integrated data sharing can speed you from the curb, through passport control, and to your gate in minutes. As data fabrics and business AI mature further, this foundation will become even more valuable. The organizations investing in this now are building the operating model for the next decade and positioning themselves to have a massive competitive edge. This is what it means to orchestrate. Across the Americas, productivity is back at the top of the business agenda. While North America has been the global leader in AI adoption, businesses across Latin America are also using it to drive intelligent transformations. For example, the Brazilian cosmetics company, Natura, is now using generative AI capabilities from SAP to streamline their business processes and support faster decision-making. Companies are no longer chasing innovation for its own sake. They are prioritizing results that they can scale, replicate, and sustain across their enterprises. Recent IDC research on SAP's Cloud technology found that organizations achieved an 18% productivity improvement by giving their users access to real-time insights. The next wave of productivity gains will not just come from adding more tools. It will come from integrating and scaling capabilities that already exist. And the organizations that do it will set the agenda for what comes next.

Why Paradigm built a spreadsheet with an AI agent in every cell
Anna Monaco has been building AI agents since before the term 'AI agents' was even a thing. After building numerous chatbots, she started looking for other types of interfaces that made sense for AI agents and landed on spreadsheets. 'I had this personal pattern, and I noticed that a lot of other people had this pattern, of putting very important CRM data in spreadsheets just because it was the most flexible thing,' Monaco told TechCrunch. 'But it was actually a pain to maintain. There's so much manual work involved. So [I] just went down this rabbit hole of building a product for myself and wanted to reimagine what a spreadsheet could look like with the full power of LLMs.' The result was Paradigm, an AI-powered spreadsheet equipped with more than 5,000 AI agents. Users can assign different prompts to individual columns and cells, and individual AI agents will crawl the internet to find and fill out the needed information. Paradigm works with AI models from Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google's Gemini, Monaco said, and supports model switching. 'We want to support every single model because we want our users to be able to have the highest reasoning outputs when they need it, but also the cheapest outputs,' Monaco said. 'It's just a constant cycle of evaluating different models, working closely with model providers to make sure our limits are high enough, and then giving some of that power to our users.' The company launched a small closed beta preview in late 2024 and has been iterating on the product using customer feedback. Paradigm attracts users ranging from consultants to sales professionals and finance folks and operates on a subscription model with tiers based on usage. Paradigm counts the consulting firm EY, AI chip startup Etched and the AI coding company Cognition as early customers. Paradigm is now releasing its product to the public and announcing that it raised a $5 million seed round led by General Catalyst. The company has raised $7 million to date. Monaco said the funding will go toward executing on the company's 'extremely aggressive product roadmap.' 'The interesting thing that happened when we fundraised is some people we pitched just kept on using and paying for the product,' Monaco said. 'I think that was a cool part of it. We found a lot of value from it internally and our investors, not even just our investors — other investors that we talked to — are still using it.' Paradigm isn't the only company looking to give spreadsheets an AI upgrade. Quadratic, which has raised more than $6 million in venture funding, is a three-year-old startup with a similar goal. Legacy companies like Google and Microsoft are also adding AI tools to their spreadsheet applications. Monaco said that she doesn't really consider the competition because Paradigm doesn't think of itself as an AI-powered spreadsheet. She said she thinks of it as a new AI-powered workflow that happens to be in the familiar form of a spreadsheet but won't necessarily stay that way forever. 'What I'm seeing in the most popular AI products now is this fine balance between present and future,' Monaco said. 'How do you build something that is really powerful and generates a lot of value now but also sets you up really well for the future? That's the question that I asked myself a year ago when I was starting the company.' 登入存取你的投資組合
