Explaining the Key Components of SAP's Winning Formula

In the past, customers often relied on patching together a portfolio of best-of-breed applications slowing down companies, as they missed the true integration modern businesses demand. Therefore, we as SAP redefine what is possible. With our SAP’s applications and our technology platform every part of our customer’s business is deeply connected, delivering end-to-end transformational value to their business processes across the enterprise - all this working in one suite.

With our SAP Business Suite, we stand apart with the most comprehensive and integrated portfolio of applications in the entire industry.

From our core Cloud ERP, which serves as the foundation for operational excellence, to Line of Business applications, the following cover the full breath of what companies of all industries need:

• Finance management for financial transparency.
• Human capital management for workforce management.
• Spend management for procurement and spend management.
• Supply Chain management for E2E supply chain management.
• Customer Experience management for sales and service.

Our suite of applications enable processes like Record-to-Report, Procure-to-Pay, and Lead-to-Cash to flow seamlessly, providing our customers with a single, unified view of their financials, suppliers, workforce, and customers—something fragmented solutions simply cannot match.

But there are more characteristics that set our applications apart. SAP’s applications are:

• Comprehensive: Our SAP Business Suite represents the most comprehensive and integrated portfolio of applications in the entire industry.
• Extensible: Our solutions can be easily extended and enhanced through user-friendly, low-code/no-code development tools to enable competitive differentiation and maximize business value
• Industry-specific: Our solutions deliver tailored solutions for all industries ranging from manufacturing, retail, healthcare, and more, meeting their very specific business needs

With over 50 years of experience, we bring unmatched expertise to solve the most complex challenges of our customers.

With our portfolio of applications generating vast amounts of semantically rich data, we own one of the most valuable data treasures in the world. At the same time, our customers struggle with scattered data lakes and various data sources that lack a common semantic data integration, making it difficult for business to extract meaningful insights.

With SAP Business Data Cloud we will step on this opportunity and deliver a unified data platform that centralizes and seamlessly integrates data from SAP and non-SAP sources all by persevering its critical business context.

The power of SAP Business Data Cloud is multidimensional. It will:

• Unleash transformative insights: Allowing faster, smarter decisions with business-ready data and context grounded in industry-standard best practices and prebuilt apps
• Connect all your data: Harmonize all mission-critical data with an open data landscape and give a complete actionable view of our customers’ organization enriching existing and future investments
• Foster reliable AI: It fosters reliable AI by fueling AI activities with semantically rich data. This ensures that AI outputs are not only faster, but also more precise and actionable, ensuring accuracy and increased productivity for our customers.

SAP Business Data Cloud is here to allow data scalability, flexibility, and security and to enable our unrivaled AI.

Today, many businesses are struggling to unlock the full potential of generative AI.

Fragmented systems and disconnected tools have kept organizations from achieving meaningful and scalable impact. But at SAP, we’re changing that.​ With SAP Business AI, we are shaping a future where our customers experience rapid and transformative results through systems of AI agents–because we have it all: the suite of applications, the data, and the AI.​

Our approach to AI is unique. By embedding AI directly into our solutions, we deliver connected outcomes across the enterprise, all orchestrated throughJoule, our contextually aware AI copilot. Joule is the window to domain-specific agents that work together to solve tasks and real-world business challenges.​ In addition, our AI Foundation and the generative AI hub ensure reliable insights and easy customization. These capabilities allow our partners and customers to build tailored AI use cases on their unique business data, enhancing processes and decision-making to differentiate their businesses.​​

Our AI strategy delivers capabilities competition cannot match. Our focus will be on:

• Agents: AI Agents will become extended teams and orchestrate long-tail business processes to elevate employees’ impact with agents embedded deeply in our portfolio​.
• Automation: Automation will reach a whole new level through confident decisions with context-rich insights that supercharge AI agents and help humans drive business results.​
• Adoption: Our AI is where the user is – be it business users or developers. But this is not enough. We will radically simplify how AI is commercialized and consumed – to make it as easy as possible to sell, consume, and enjoy Business AI.​

​

While SAP Business AI capabilities are relevant and reliable–we’re equally committed to ensuring our AI solutions are also ethical, transparent, and responsible.
