The company introduces a unified SAP Business AI Platform, deepening partnerships with Anthropic, Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, Microsoft, NVIDIA and Palantir<\/p>\n
ORLANDO\u00a0\u2014 At SAP Sapphire in 2026, SAP SE<\/a> (NYSE: SAP) introduced the Autonomous Enterprise to help enhance the world\u2019s most critical business workflows, so that humans and AI work together to meet the accelerating demands of global business profitably, strategically and safely.<\/p>\n SAP Sapphire in 2026: Advancing the Autonomous Enterprise<\/p>\n \u201cFor the mission-critical processes of our customers, \u2018almost right\u2019 just isn\u2019t good enough,\u201d said Christian Klein, CEO of SAP SE. \u201cBy uniting SAP Business AI Platform with SAP Autonomous Suite, we anchor AI agents in the business processes, data and governance so they can deliver accurate, compliant and secure outcomes, unlocking new sources of revenue and meaningful cost savings.\u201d<\/p>\n The Autonomous Enterprise includes a unified AI platform for building, contextualizing and governing agents, an autonomous suite that executes core business operations and a new user experience that redefines how people work with enterprise software.<\/p>\n Introducing SAP Business AI Platform<\/p>\n SAP Business AI Platform is a new foundation for building and deploying enterprise AI grounded in real business context. SAP Business AI Platform now unifies SAP Business Technology Platform, SAP Business Data Cloud and SAP Business AI into a single, governed environment.<\/p>\n At its core is the SAP Knowledge Graph solution, which gives AI agents a structured map of business entities, processes and relationships across a customer\u2019s SAP landscape. Joule Studio is SAP\u2019s AI-first solution for building enterprise agents, applications and agentic workflows. Developers can build using the no-code, pro-code and AI frameworks of their choice on SAP-managed infrastructure that is secure, scalable and optimized for enterprise AI.<\/p>\n Deploying SAP Autonomous Suite Across Every Business Function and Industry<\/p>\n Building on this foundation, SAP also introduced SAP Autonomous Suite, which enables SAP\u2019s existing business applications with AI agents capable of running processes from start-to-finish.<\/p>\n The suite will deploy more than 50 domain-specific Joule Assistants across finance, supply chain, procurement, human capital management and customer experience. These assistants will automate end-to-end processes by orchestrating a subset of over 200 specialized agents to execute precise tasks. For example, the new Autonomous Close Assistant can compress the financial close process from weeks to days by automating journal entries, reconciliation and error resolution across the entire process.<\/p>\n SAP also launched Industry AI, expanding its deep industry portfolio through seven autonomous solutions that will enable start-to-finish industry processes and embed sector-specific process logic, data models and regulatory requirements. At SAP Sapphire, SAP showcased its work with European energy giant RWE to leverage Industry AI, helping reduce unplanned downtime across its offshore wind turbines. With SAP\u2019s Autonomous Asset Management scenario, AI agents are designed to analyze data from thousands of past incidents, identify the likely root cause and generate pre-filled work orders with the right tools and proven fixes from other sites.<\/p>\n Designing the Autonomous User Experience<\/p>\n The company also revealed Joule Work, redefining how users engage with SAP software. Instead of navigating individual applications and entering data across several screens, users will now interact primarily with Joule. By describing a desired business outcome, Joule will orchestrate the right combination of workflows, data and agents to get it done.<\/p>\n Joule Work goes beyond conversation, proactively surfacing relevant insights and automating routine tasks behind the scenes so work moves forward even when humans aren\u2019t actively steering it. It will be available on desktop, mobile and voice across SAP and non-SAP systems.<\/p>\n Accelerating the Customer Journey Toward Autonomy with \u20ac100 Million Infusion<\/p>\n SAP evolved its customer and partner programs to help accelerate the organization\u2019s journey to the Autonomous Enterprise. To catalyze adoption, the company has launched a \u20ac100 million fund for SAP partners to help customers deploy SAP-built AI assistants and agents. The fund is also available to partners that extend or build new partner agents on the new SAP Business AI Platform using Joule Studio.<\/p>\n SAP\u00a0has enhanced\u00a0its\u00a0RISE with SAP\u00a0and\u00a0SAP GROW\u00a0offerings to\u00a0accelerate\u00a0AI adoption.\u00a0Both include access to the Joule Assistants portfolio;\u00a0RISE\u00a0with SAP\u00a0customers\u00a0will have three assistants activated within\u00a0their\u00a0first year, while\u00a0SAP\u00a0GROW customers receive\u00a0full portfolio\u00a0access at\u00a0onboarding.\u00a0SAP S\/4HANA on-premises and SAP ERP Central Component (SAP ECC) customers are not excluded: those that commit to transitioning\u00a0the majority of\u00a0their current landscape to SAP Cloud ERP gain access to select AI scenarios, bridging the gap between their current landscape and their cloud destination<\/p>\n SAP also introduced new agent-led transformation tooling that can reduce ERP migration efforts by more than 35 percent, driving faster and more predictable projects by automating system analysis, code remediation, configuration and testing at scale.<\/p>\n Lastly, SAP announced a full slate of strategic partnerships across each category:<\/p>\n Platform and suite partnerships include Anthropic<\/a>, with Claude among the foundation models SAP\u2019s AI platform will leverage to power Joule agents across HR, procurement and supply chain; Amazon Web Services<\/a>, bringing zero-copy data integration between SAP Business Data Cloud and Amazon Athena; Google Cloud and Microsoft, enabling bidirectional agent-to-agent interoperability between Joule and external agent frameworks; Mistral AI and Cohere, delivering sovereign model options on SAP\u2019s cloud infrastructure; n8n<\/a>, providing visual AI workflow orchestration inside Joule Studio; NVIDIA<\/a>, whose OpenShell provides the trusted secure runtime for Joule Studio; and Parloa<\/a>, bringing AI agents into SAP Service Cloud to handle customer interactions with full access to business data and service processes.<\/p>\n Implementation partnerships include Palantir<\/a> and Accenture<\/a>, partnering on complex data migration scenarios, and Conduct<\/a> for AI-powered cloud ERP migrations.<\/p>\n Learn more in the SAP Sapphire 2026 Innovation News Guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n Visit the\u00a0SAP News Center<\/a>.
