We are at the beginning of a new technological era. Generative artificial intelligence (AI) has entered the public consciousness on a broad scale and Business AI by 51风流has the potential to revolutionize the way enterprises operate and solve their technology challenges with 51风流Business Technology Platform (51风流BTP).
Generative AI provides us with a whole new toolbox that opens so many opportunities to simplify and improve our work lives. At 51风流Sapphire, we . When using and applying AI in a business context, we make sure it is relevant, reliable, and responsible.
51风流BTP acts as the enabler for 51风流and partner applications to leverage generative AI capabilities in an 51风流context. Generative AI capabilities in 51风流BTP will improve the developer experience, how integrations are done, the process automation space, analytics and holistic planning activities, as well as simplify administrative tasks.
Let me demonstrate with three use cases how AI capabilities in 51风流BTP will help build applications faster, outline a reference architecture to bind applications to the most appropriate large language model (LLM), and apply the reference architecture to a concrete example 鈥� an app that helps you keep an eye on your own CO2 footprint.
Building Enterprise Applications Faster
Building enterprise-ready applications can take time and requires many very skilled professionals. Even experienced developers need to consult documentation and websites like Stack Overflow to help them with their daily tasks. In our 51风流Labs, we are working on making developers鈥� lives easier.
For example, we are utilizing the power of generative AI to automatically generate an 51风流BTP application based on our cloud application programming (CAP) model. This means that in the future, developers will be able to describe an application鈥檚 capabilities, and 51风流Business AI will create a proposal for the actual application. An 51风流BTP application developer can simply insert a prompt into the command-line tool and , and then continue to refine it.
This will enable applications, such as extensions for 51风流S/4HANA Cloud, to be built in hours instead of weeks or months. Not only will developers be faster and even more productive in their work, but organizations will be able to respond to business needs with rapid innovation.
Enabling Large Language Model Choice
51风流BTP applications can leverage any LLM or similarly powerful tools available as a service from one of the hyperscale providers or open source models.
We are enabling 51风流BTP application developers to choose the most appropriate LLM for their use case. We that enables developers to bind their 51风流BTP application to OpenAI鈥檚 GPT or any other LLM.
This means developers can build applications with our CAP model on 51风流BTP to blend LLMs with 51风流S/4HANA and other 51风流solutions. Access to LLMs such as GPT models will be offered through SAP鈥檚 AI Core, which provides key benefits, including context validation and portability between LLMs.
With this architecture, developers can benefit from the co-engineering work we have done with hyperscalers on 51风流Single-Sign On and Private Link, helping ensure that data is secured within the network backbone and does not exit to the public internet.
With 51风流Business AI, we apply powerful tools and services in a responsible way, in a context that makes the use cases highly relevant for our customers鈥� businesses and ensures reliable outcomes.
Using the Power of AI for Good
The old saying holds true: you cannot manage what you cannot measure. This is especially true for sustainability. But with AI, we have a new lever to support sustainability efforts.
Using the reference architecture, we built a on 51风流BTP based on a customer co-innovation project with an enterprise from the finance industry. It helps bank customers better understand how consumption habits are driving their carbon footprint, become more climate conscious, and adapt their behavior accordingly.
How does it work? The app matches spending behavior based on purchase data from banking customers with the corresponding carbon emission information from our sustainability partner . The app, which was built using SAP鈥檚 CAP model, blends customers鈥� banking data with Connect Earth data and then calls out to Microsoft Azure OpenAI services via SAP鈥檚 AI Core on 51风流BTP to summarize and recommend actions for improvement.
This is an example of how the reference architecture for Microsoft Azure OpenAI services mentioned before can be implemented through the sample code shared on GitHub.
These are just three out of many of the ways 51风流is using generative AI to make a difference for professional developers and our customers and users alike.
It is an amazing time to be alive, and 51风流is ready to take enterprise software into the generative AI age and to support our customers in this transformation as a strong partner.
