Introducing SAP Business AI Platform

Today, customers expect AI that understands intent, reasons over business context, is grounded in encoded process knowledge and a context-rich data layer, and takes actions across applications - always with enterprise grade governance to drive secure outcomes. To meet these expectations and to unlock differentiated innovation, customers need a platform not only to tailor solutions but to compose, extend, integrate, contextualize, and govern agents. Partners require a platform to build and distribute agents alongside complementing solutions. Lastly, SAP developers need a unified platform and tooling to efficiently deliver AI-native experiences combining application and agent capabilities.

SAP Business AI Platform is that platform. It enables customers, partners, and SAP to build, extend, optimize, connect and integrate, run, and innovate across the agent, app, and data layers in and beyond SAP-centric landscapes, and provides an agentic platform where business applications and agents co-exist and collaborate — always with humans in the loop. The platform is the next evolution of our unified platform and brings together the capabilities of SAP BTP, AI Foundation, SAP BDC, SAP HANA Cloud, and some capabilities from the SAP BTM portfolio. This comprehensive platform can only be delivered through the breadth and depth of SAP’s technical landscape. It ushers in a new era of productivity — empowering developers as confident, compliant AI-builders while elevating IT leaders and CIOs as the architects of enterprise AI strategy.

Build: Simplify and accelerate development with one environment for building, integrating and running AI agents, applications, agent extensions, and workflows, with the governance and business understanding required to operate at scale.​

• Joule Studio is the next generation of our SAP Build offering and is SAP’s AI first development environment for building, and running agents, applications, and workflows, by providing a best-in-class developer experience - grounding every agent, workflow, or application in extensive enterprise context and existing governance frameworks. It is fully aware of context such as landscape information, business process improvement recommendations, data, and application code.  It offers the most productive way to build and extend SAP AI solutions - from intent to requirements to deployment. Joule Studio provides the flexibility of low/no-code and pro-code paths and embeds n8n for visual workflow composition. Additionally, with the Vercel integration developers can easily build Next.js based web applications modern frontends using frameworks like React, and Angular complimenting SAP frameworks (UI5, Fiori).
• SAP Integration Suite provides a trusted enterprise integration layer that connects AI agents, business processes, systems and applications across SAP & non-SAP landscapes and facilitates secure governance of enterprise API exposure, multi-LLM connectivity, and enterprise-wide agent executions. It enables agent connectivity with standard interaction with protocols like MCP and activates event-driven agentic workflows across enterprise systems and processes. It accelerates agent connectivity with thousands of pre-built integrations, SAP and non-SAP connectors, and speeds up agent integration delivery with AI-assisted capabilities across the end-to-end lifecycle.

Contextualize & Reason: Only SAP can ground AI in 50 years of encoded business process expertise with a data fabric that serves as the trusted knowledge core for every enterprise application and agent. Gen AI Hub combines access to SAP Domain Models alongside frontier third-party LLMs, with a full suite of orchestration services — including prompt optimizer, benchmarking, evaluation, and data masking — allowing enterprises to break free from the limitations of generic AI.

• SAP Knowledge Graph transforms disconnected enterprise data into a semantic network of meaning by encoding the relationships, dependencies, and business logic that define how an organization actually operates. Built on decades of SAP's codified business expertise, Knowledge Graph grounds AI agents in explicit business context, so they can reason across customers, suppliers, processes, and regulations with depth and accuracy.

• SAP Business Data Cloud brings the world's most comprehensive and mission-critical data into a converged Data & Analytics solution spanning data warehousing, master data management, database, analytics, planning, and machine learning. With SAP Business Data Cloud, customers can:

  1. Fuel AI with complete, clean, contextual, consumable, and current data across the full enterprise to ensure accurate outcomes.
  2. Leverage fully managed, curated data products across all SAP applications to eliminate the hidden costs of data extraction and ensure data consistency.
  3. Zero-copy share data to and from third-party platforms, seamlessly integrating SAP and non-SAP data.
  4. Bring SAP Business Suite to life with adaptive and AI-powered Line of Business (LoB) intelligent apps that learn, reason, and act in the context of each customer's business data.

• SAP & Non-SAP Models: Beside secure and compliant access to leading LLM from frontier AI labs such as OpenAI, Anthropic, or Mistral, SAP provides its own predictive and business domain- or industry-specific models. SAP RPT-1 gives customers unprecedented predictive modeling capabilities and is designed specifically for structured tabular business data. SAP RPT-1 delivers predictions without any model training or fine-tuning, eliminating the weeks or months typically required for traditional ML model development. SAP Domain Models are a set of trained AI models that are based on the full depth of SAP’s institutional knowledge and act as a foundation for autonomous enterprise operations. Because SAP sits at the core of how most of the world's leading companies operate, SAP's models are uniquely positioned to do what no general-purpose AI can: run, optimize, and evolve business processes with real-world context and precision.

Govern: Organizations pursuing AI strategies at enterprise scale face two challenges at once: risk that moves faster than most governance frameworks can keep up with, and value that is harder to measure than expected. SAP Business AI Platform addresses both. Every agent, application, LLM, and MCP server operates within the boundaries the business defines from the moment it goes live, and every AI initiative is continuously measured against the outcomes it was deployed to deliver.

• SAP AI Agent Hub gives IT a command center to discover, manage, and govern agents across the full lifecycle — ensuring that every agent operates within defined guardrails.

• The SAP-managed Joule Studio Runtime enforces policy and identity controls at the point of execution and handles the operational complexity of running hundreds of agents, ensuring reliability, scalability, and performance.

• SAP Integration Suite extends governance to the connectivity layer, covering API security, MCP exposure, and AI services management. Compliance and security controls are built into the platform, not applied after deployment.

• SAP Signavio Process Intelligence supplies AI agents with the right context, surfaces where they realize value and where not, where they behave inconsistently and incompliantly, and discovers where new agents could make a measurable difference, so organizations can course-correct early. Enterprise architecture with SAP LeanIX keeps AI initiatives aligned to business strategy over time, and leadership gets the visibility to track outcomes, not just uptime.

• Core platform capabilities such as Identity and Access Management or Security Services provide the essential, unifying set of technical capabilities for an enterprise-grade agentic platform, all managed by SAP.

What Sets SAP Apart

• Unmatched training data: Only SAP has access to the breadth of code, business logic, industry process knowledge, and operational outcomes needed to train models that understand not just SAP technology, but how a best-run company actually works.
• Customer-specific fine-tuning: SAP further tailors these models on each customer's own data, processes, and context — turning shared intelligence into a unique and durable advantage for our customers.
• Always current: Every new best practice or process innovation SAP develops is immediately reflected in the models, ensuring customers and agents are always operating on the leading edge.
