SAP and Microsoft broaden cloud ERP alliance
This story was originally published on CIO Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily CIO Dive newsletter. SAP expanded its partnership with Microsoft to help drive enterprise adoption of the ERP provider's Business Suite bundles for finance, supply chain, human resources, procurement and customer experience functions, the two companies said Tuesday. The joint migration acceleration initiative complements extensive platform integration plans unveiled along with the Business Suite offerings last week during SAP's annual Sapphire conference. The integrations announced May 20 connect SAP's Joule AI assistant with the Microsoft 365 suite of productivity tools, including Copilot, Teams, Outlook and Word. Microsoft also extended its Sentra, Defender and Entra security tools across SAP's cloud ERP and aims to launch SAP Business Data Cloud and SAP Databricks on Azure analytics services later this year. SAP is counting on technology partners to guide customers to its S/4HANA cloud-based ERP as the company prepares to terminate mainstream support for on-premises ERP Central Component deployments in 2027. 'By combining forces, we provide partners with proven frameworks, shared resources, and scalable tools that address complex challenges,' Karl Fahrbach, chief partner officer of SAP, said in the Tuesday announcement. The bundled offerings are designed to ease migrations by targeting function-specific business processes with traditional ERP capabilities in combination with data pipeline, analytics and AI services. While Microsoft is the first hyperscaler to offer the Business Suite Accelerator program, SAP recently expanded existing pacts with AWS and Google Cloud to ease the flow of ERP data across clouds. AWS and SAP launched a generative AI development initiative to help Accenture, Deloitte and other ecosystem partners build agentic tools using ERP data and the hyperscaler's Bedrock platform, the companies announced on May 20. Initial use cases include identifying financial anomalies in real time and mitigating supply chain disruptions, according to SAP CTO and Chief AI Officer Philipp Herzig. In addition to integrating the Databricks-powered Business Data Cloud on Azure, SAP connected the data pipeline to Google Cloud's BigQuery data warehouse to bring together data stored in ERP and third-party repositories. SAP Business Data Cloud will be deployed in three Google Cloud regions in later this year, according to a May 20 announcement. SAP was among the first cadre of providers to sign on to Google Cloud's Agent2Agent open protocol for multi-agent AI orchestration in April. The two companies gave SAP customers access to Google's Gemini family of large language models through SAP Business Technology Platform's generative AI hub and opened SAP data to the hyperscaler's Agentspace tool-building platform earlier this month. 'Our objective is to enable all enterprises to streamline data integration and data science, enhance their analytical workflows, and accelerate their transformation into an AI-driven enterprise,' the companies said in the announcement.

SAP Unveils New AI Features For Enterprise Applications
At its annual SAP Sapphire conference, SAP unveiled innovations and partnerships that put the power of Business AI in every user's hands, revolutionising the way work gets done. From a virtually omnipresent Joule assistant to an expanded network of Joule Agents that work across systems and lines of business, SAP heralds a new era that democratises access to Business AI and can drive productivity gains of up to 30%. 'SAP combines the world's most powerful suite of business applications with uniquely rich data and the latest AI innovations to create a flywheel of customer value,' said SAP CEO Christian Klein. 'With the expansion of Joule, our partnerships with leading AI pioneers, and advancements in SAP Business Data Cloud, we're delivering on the promise of Business AI as we drive digital transformations that help customers thrive in an increasingly unpredictable world.' AI that boosts productivity Joule can accompany business users throughout their day, in and out of the SAP application universe, to find data, surface real-time insights and streamline workflows. Joule's new ubiquity includes an action bar powered by WalkMe that studies user behaviour across applications, turning the assistant into an always-available, proactive AI that can anticipate users' needs before they arise — always adhering to SAP's strict ethical AI guidelines. A collaboration with Perplexity, an AI-powered answer engine company, enhances Joule's ability to draw on structured and unstructured data to solve complex business problems. Powered by Perplexity and the SAP Knowledge Graph, Joule now instantly answers questions with structured, visual answers — such as charts and graphs — grounded in real-time business data within SAP workflows. SAP also unveiled an expanded library of Joule Agents that reimagine business processes and workflows from the ground up. Fuelled by the world's most powerful real-time business data and orchestrated by Joule, these AI agents work across systems and lines of business to anticipate, adapt and act autonomously so organisations can stay agile in a rapidly changing world. Leading companies reap business AI benefits Several leading brands showcased how SAP Business AI has enhanced their operations. Global brewer Heineken has introduced an internal artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot, 'Hoppy,' to enhance business processes and offer real-time data access. The AI-driven chatbot runs on SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) and represents a significant leap forward in Heineken's commitment to streamlining internal processes and empowering its workforce. By leveraging advanced natural language processing with data across multiple systems, Hoppy eliminates the need for time-consuming manual searches and allows business users to focus on more strategic and impactful tasks. Since Hoppy was introduced within the company's collaboration platforms, Heineken has seen the time knowledge workers need to retrieve information fall to 1 minute from 15 minutes. With SAP Business AI capabilities at Hoppy's core, Heineken also is exploring automating repetitive tasks to enhance business processes and streamline communications and decision-making. Competitive gaming organisation Team Liquid is tapping into Joule Agents for instant access to game statistics, player performance trends and strategic comparisons using natural language. Unlike traditional AI models, AI agents are designed to perceive their environment, set goals and take actions autonomously to achieve those objectives. Team Liquid runs its data analysis through its 'Next Level Esports Center' dashboard, built entirely on SAP Business Technology Platform. Team Liquid's analysts rely on the dashboard to equip coaches and players with insights about upcoming opponents, managing high-pressure situations under short turnaround times and frequent data requests between games. Instead of relying solely on technical analysts, players, coaches and marketing teams can ask the Joule copilot for player or team insights, tapping into more than 1.6 TB of data from 10 million games to find the right answer and uncover strategic advantages. This shift eliminates the need for manual data retrieval, empowering diverse users to make data-driven decisions at game speed. Data that drives smarter decisions SAP also introduced new intelligent applications in SAP Business Data Cloud, each built for a specific line of business. These applications can continuously learn, simulate outcomes and guide actions using business-critical data, detecting changes to optimise processes, anticipate needs, and collaborate with both human and artificial thinkers to drive meaningful impact. The People Intelligence application, for instance, optimises team performance by transforming people and skills data into workforce insights and AI-driven recommendations. Additionally, SAP and Palantir are partnering to facilitate joint customers' cloud migration journey and modernisation programs. Seamless connectivity between Palantir and SAP Business Data Cloud will enable customers to build a harmonised data foundation across their enterprise landscape. Together the companies will responsibly deliver essential outcomes and support customers to quickly adapt to changes and disruptions. 0 0

SAP retools its cloud-based ERP to ease migrations
This story was originally published on CIO Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily CIO Dive newsletter. SAP introduced five line-of-business software bundles to simplify migrations to S/4HANA cloud-based ERP, the company said Tuesday at its annual SAP Sapphire conference. The Business Suite packages are customized for finance, supply chain, human resources, procurement and customer experience. Each bundle integrates the S/4HANA ERP system with the SAP Business Data Cloud analytics platform, SAP Business AI tools and the SAP Business Technology Platform control plane, the company said in the announcement. The move marks a shift in strategy as the company moves closer to ending mainstream support for its on-premises ERP Central Component systems in 2027. 'This is a massive simplification,' Jan Gilg, chief revenue officer and president, SAP Americas and Global Business Suite, told CIO Dive. 'It's no longer the customer's job to integrate those things together anymore.' SAP's singular focus on moving its massive ECC base to S/4HANA has evolved into a multipronged effort to lure customers to the cloud. In January, the company extended business continuity support for some customers who are planning a migration to 2033. SAP partnered with Databricks to deliver the Business Data Cloud analytics platform the following month. Last year, SAP added migration credits to the RISE with SAP incentive program, armed its Joule AI assistant with agentic tools and rolled out industry-tailored integrations for manufacturing and retail businesses. To help ease cloud transitions, CEO Christian Klein pledged to provide a dedicated enterprise architect to every RISE customer in July 2024. 'For a lot of our installed-base customers, especially the large customers, it's really difficult to move core ERP in one step to a full SaaS model,' Gilg said. 'Often they have customizations from decades ago.' Incrementally untangling accumulated technical debt through smaller, line-of-business migrations is an easier lift, he added. IT services firm Kyndryl prioritized the finance function to ease an 18-month RISE with SAP migration as it decoupled its tech stack from former parent company IBM. Kyndryl has since built a RISE consulting practice around the experience. 'If you peel back the onion and you look into the finance premium package, you will see it's basically an administrative ERP,' Gilg said. 'You have core finance capabilities, operational procurement, sales order management, project management, Sales Cloud and Concur for travel and expense entitlements — everything a company that's not manufacturing anything needs to run their core processes.' As SAP rolls out the bundled offerings, it is also severing the RISE migration framework from SaaS-based ERP products. 'You cannot buy RISE anymore,' Gilg said. 'We really look at RISE as the methodology. What you buy is either the SAP Cloud ERP private package or you buy those business suite packages.' The terminology can be confusing, Gilg acknowledged. S/4HANA Private Cloud runs on public cloud infrastructure, but SAP is also helping customers with a large installed base shift from ECC to S/4HANA via a hybrid private cloud option that leads to public cloud. 'This is really a change that we have done this year, which I believe will take us some time to communicate,' Gilg said. 'We look at it as an alternative for those who either don't want to go all SaaS or cannot go all SaaS. Once customers are in an S/4HANA on-premises system, to move them to cloud is more or less a technical task.'
