As we step into 2024, the landscape of business management is set for a remarkable transformation. SAP is embarking on its most ambitious journey yet in the world of artificial intelligence (AI), unveiling over 400 embedded AI use cases across its extensive cloud portfolio. This isn’t merely an evolution; it’s a significant leap towards integrating smart processes that promise to reshape how businesses operate and thrive.

Imagine a future where your business processes are automated, understood, and optimized by intelligent systems. This is the promise of SAP Business AI. By leveraging advanced algorithms and machine learning, SAP Business AI is already revolutionizing operations, from easing complexities in public aid distribution to refining procurement practices within the volatile energy sector. By 2025, our goal is to build on these impressive foundations, steadfastly focusing on delivering unparalleled business value.

SAP Joule Copilot is at the forefront of this innovative wave, a powerful tool designed to redefine the customer experience across end-to-end business processes. Imagine intelligent agents that understand your unique context and collaborate seamlessly across different functions. This is achieved through SAP Joule Copilot, which eliminates outdated manual processes.

The overarching mission of SAP Business AI is crystal clear: to minimize manual tasks and democratize access to transformative business management practices. Developers stand at the forefront of this revolution, armed with code generation and optimization tools across ABAP, SAP Build Code, and SAP BTP Cockpit. Technological innovations like the SAP Signavio Process Manager have made process management remarkably intuitive, enabling users to create complex process diagrams using natural language.

Significant upgrades to SAP Business AI are set to enhance customer experiences in finance and spending management. Features such as AI-assisted enterprise search, personalized dashboards, and advanced situation handling are poised for rollout in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public and Private Editions, making financial management more accessible and efficient.

The enhancements do not stop at finance; they extend into key business areas of procurement and supply chain management. SAP Joule Copilot collaborates with SAP Ariba and SAP Field Service Management, offering intuitive natural language navigation and task completion functionalities. AI-assisted category recommendations in SAP Ariba streamline strategic planning, while the innovative SAP Green Token introduces AI-driven tools for automatic data extraction from supplier declarations. This transformative integration of SAP artificial intelligence ensures that operations are efficient, agile, and responsive to market changes.

SAP is dedicated to equipping developers with robust tools designed to enhance productivity and increase efficiency. This includes AI-powered content generation and natural language search capabilities within SAP Datasphere, marking a significant evolution in our data strategy through the SAP Business Data Cloud. The introduction of the Generative AI Hub in SAP AI Core and SAP AI Launchpad supports the development of large language models (LLMs) that cater to unique business needs, simplifying custom AI application creation.

With the rollout of the ABAP AI SDK, developers gain access to a specialized AI toolkit for optimizing ABAP applications. This toolkit is a game changer in reducing the time and effort needed for code writing and testing. This leap in efficiency empowers developers and drives innovation across the board.
