SAP introduces autonomous enterprise platform with AI agents
SAP SE (NYSE: SAP) announced the Autonomous Enterprise at its Sapphire conference, introducing a unified AI platform and autonomous suite designed to automate business processes through AI agents.
The company launched SAP Business AI Platform, which unifies SAP Business Technology Platform, SAP Business Data Cloud and SAP Business AI into a single environment. The platform includes the SAP Knowledge Graph solution and Joule Studio for building enterprise agents and applications.
SAP also introduced SAP Autonomous Suite, which will deploy more than 50 domain-specific Joule Assistants across finance, supply chain, procurement, human capital management and customer experience. These assistants will automate processes by orchestrating over 200 specialized agents.
"By 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," said Christian Klein, CEO of SAP SE.
The company revealed Joule Work, a new user interface that allows users to interact primarily with Joule by describing desired business outcomes rather than navigating individual applications.
SAP announced a €100 million fund for partners to help customers deploy SAP-built AI assistants and agents. The company enhanced its RISE with SAP and SAP GROW offerings to include access to Joule Assistants, with RISE customers receiving three assistants in their first year.
The company announced partnerships with Anthropic, Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, Microsoft, NVIDIA and Palantir for platform development and implementation. SAP also introduced agent-led transformation tooling designed to reduce ERP migration efforts by more than 35 percent.
The announcement was made at SAP Sapphire in Orlando, Florida, according to the press release statement.
