Recognizing the Integration of SAP BTP with SAP Business AI (Trusted AI Foundation)

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to understand the integration of SAP BTP with SAP Business AI and its role in building a trusted AI foundation

Trusted AI foundation

An AI foundation, as part of SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP), is how we infuse AI into our products and enable customers and partners to create AI-powered extensions and applications.

The image further expands on the SAP Portfolio diagram, focusing on the Business Technology Platform (BTP) layer and its capabilities. The Business Technology Platform serves as the foundation for creating personalized experiences that seamlessly integrate with SAP applications, building faster with business context to adapt to change with agility, and running with confidence on a trusted, enterprise-grade platform. The image highlights that SAP BTP powers SAP Business AI, and SAP BTP utilizes GenAI (Generative AI) to boost productivity. It also emphasizes that SAP BTP and AI are reliable, relevant, and responsible. The bottom part of the image lists five key areas enabled by the Business Technology Platform: App Dev: Build and innovate; Automation: Optimize and automate; Integration: Connect and simplify; Data and Analytics: Give data purpose; AI: Infuse intelligence; In summary, this extended view of the SAP Portfolio underscores the critical role of the Business Technology Platform in driving innovation, automation, integration, data analytics, and artificial intelligence across the entire portfolio, empowering businesses to create personalized experiences, adapt quickly, and operate with trust and confidence.

We partner with the leading general-purpose AI vendors and large language model (LLM) providers to help ensure that our customers keep up with the fast pace of innovation and have the flexibility they need.

To manage the new challenges that come with generative AI, we are introducing a Generative AI Hub on SAP AI Core as part of SAP BTP. This will provide access to large language models and the required trust and control between SAP business processes and generative AI models. Integrating these assets into SAP’s proven AI services – which are already used by thousands of organizations – gives our customers the enterprise readiness that they expect.

SAP BTP Solutions with built-in AI

The image shows the four different parts of the AI foundation: SAP Build Code, SAP Build Process Automation, SAP HANA Cloud and SAP Analytics Cloud

SAP BTP (Business Technology Platform) solutions with built-in AI capabilities, are founded on the following principles:

SAP Build Code

Generative AI-based code development with Joule copilot, optimized for Java and JavaScript application development.

SAP Build Process Automation

AI-powered, intuitive, and no-code solution for workflow management and RPA.

SAP HANA Cloud

Multi-model database management system that empowers you to develop the next generation of intelligent data applications at scale.

SAP Analytics Cloud

Create and develop business plans and instantly discover insights with Joule, SAP’s generative AI copilot now available in SAP Analytics Cloud.

We ensure the correctness, enterprise-readiness, safety, and security of generative AI. This deep integration allows real-time, up-to-date information to make AI relevant for your business. We will do this through offering innovative approaches in SAP BTP to ground and adapt generative AI to business context, such as a vector engine in SAP HANA Cloud, fine-tuned models on specific scenarios, and "prompt engineering" tools and templates.

Benefits of AI in SAP BTP Solutions

The power of AI lies in its ability to enhance and accelerate business processes, enabling organizations to achieve their goals more efficiently. By leveraging AI-driven solutions, companies can unlock new opportunities and drive innovation across various domains. Let's explore the benefits of AI in SAP BTP Solutions.
