SAP Business AI Innovations and Collaborations with Partners
including Google Cloud, Meta, Microsoft, Mistral AI and NVIDIA
Ignite Ingenuity
ORLANDO,
Fla., June 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- At its annual
SAP Sapphire conference, SAP SE (NYSE: SAP) unveiled
generative AI innovations and partnerships that showcase how the
company is taking business to the next level in the era of AI. By
infusing Business AI across an enterprise cloud portfolio that
powers the world's most mission-critical processes and partnering
with companies pushing the edge of what's possible with AI, SAP is
igniting a new wave of insight and ingenuity in global
business.
"The Business AI innovations we're announcing at SAP Sapphire in
2024 will redefine the way businesses run," says Christian Klein, CEO and member of the Executive
Board of SAP SE. "Today's AI announcements and partnerships build
on our commitment to deliver revolutionary technology that drives
real-world results, helping customers unleash the agility and
ingenuity they need to succeed in today's fast-moving business
landscape."
AI That Means Business
As SAP embeds Business AI
across its enterprise solutions, it puts rich insights at users'
fingertips, empowering them to deliver better outcomes and elevate
the creative problem-solving humans do best. Examples
include AI-generated reports in SAP SuccessFactors solutions
that give people managers responsibly sourced insights for
compensation-related discussions as well as forecasting
capabilities in SAP Sales Cloud solutions that predict combinations
of salespeople and products most likely to drive sales. Meanwhile,
the SAP Business Technology Platform is adding large language
models from Amazon Web Services, Meta and Mistral AI to its
generative AI hub. This capability in the SAP AI Core
infrastructure makes it easier to build generative AI use cases for
SAP applications.
SAP's generative AI copilot Joule, which quickly sorts and
contextualizes data from multiple systems to advance automation and
improve decision-making, is expanding throughout the company's
solution portfolio. Joule launched in SAP SuccessFactors solutions
last fall and is now embedded into SAP S/4HANA Cloud solutions and
others including SAP Build and SAP Integration Suite. Further
expansion by year-end will include SAP Ariba and SAP Analytics
Cloud solutions. At Sapphire, SAP also announced plans to further
broaden Joule's scope by integrating it with Microsoft Copilot to
surface even richer insights. This deep, bi-directional integration
gives users a unified experience built right into the flow of work,
enabling seamless access to information from interactions with
business applications in SAP and Microsoft 365.
Reflecting Business AI's increasing importance, SAP is
redoubling its commitment to the principles of relevant, reliable,
and responsible AI it pioneered. At Sapphire, SAP is adopting the
10 guiding principles of the UNESCO Recommendation on the Ethics of
Artificial Intelligence, which aim to ensure that AI technologies
are developed and used in ways that respect human rights, promote
fairness and contribute to sustainable development.
Partnerships That Scale Innovation
SAP is partnering
with best-in-class technology leaders to push the limits of what
generative AI can do at an enterprise level. In addition to our
expanded collaborations with AWS and Microsoft, partnerships with
Google Cloud, Meta, Mistral AI and NVIDIA ensure SAP can harness
the power of AI-ready technology to innovate at speed and deliver
richer real-world results.
Google Cloud
SAP and Google Cloud are expanding their partnership, using
Business AI to help enterprises better predict and mitigate
supply-chain risks to minimize disruptions and maintain optimal
inventory levels. The companies will integrate Joule and the SAP
Integrated Business Planning for Supply Chain solution with Google
Cloud's Gemini models AI assistant and Google Cloud Cortex
Framework's data foundation.
Meta
SAP will leverage Meta Llama 3 to generate scripts that
render highly customized analytics applications in SAP Analytics
Cloud. Meta's next-generation AI model excels at language nuances
and contextual understanding, making it an ideal candidate for
translating enterprise business requirements into tangible
outcomes.
Mistral AI
SAP will also add new large language models from Mistral AI, a
global company headquartered in Paris specializing in generative AI, to the
generative AI hub capability in SAP AI Core.
NVIDIA
SAP and NVIDIA Corporation advance a cross-product
partnership* to embed cutting-edge technologies into
enterprise-ready business applications:
- As SAP trains Joule to serve as an AI assistant for the RISE
with SAP solution implementations, NVIDIA's state-of-the-art AI
models sift through SAP consulting assets to provide relevant and
precise answers to implementation-related questions;
- As SAP embeds Joule in the ABAP Cloud model to generate ABAP
code for SAP developers, NVIDIA's accelerated infrastructure will
run, scale, and manage SAP's generative AI model for ABAP code
generation;
- As SAP infuses generative AI into the SAP Intelligent Product
Recommendation solution, NVIDIA Omniverse Cloud APIs enable the
simulation of complex manufacturing products and configurations as
industrial digital twins.
Cloud Technology That Drives Agility and
Sustainability
Business success in the era of AI means being
in the cloud. SAP is making the move easier than ever with
initiatives that help customers find partners with the expertise
needed for complex SAP S/4HANA Cloud transformations. Further cloud
innovations at SAP Sapphire include features that help the world's
organizations measure, manage and execute their sustainability
strategies. SAP Sustainability Control Tower and SAP Sustainability
Footprint Management solutions now track carbon footprints at scale
and help businesses meet regulatory standards.
