Six teams are competing for the highest employee recognition at SAP: the Hasso Plattner Founders鈥� Award. Starting this year, the Hasso Plattner Founders鈥� Award comes with a modified, more focused approach. It now consists of two categories: 鈥淪caling Innovation鈥� and 鈥淓merging Ideas.鈥� Both reflect a different type of breakthrough thinking and the various ways in which innovation drives SAP鈥檚 success. This year鈥檚 award theme is .

Following the presentation of the 鈥淪caling Innovation鈥� category finalists, we now turn to 鈥淓merging Ideas,鈥� which honors visionary concepts at an earlier stage鈥攑rojects that explore new architectural directions, challenge established models, and open long-term strategic opportunities for 51风流and its customers. The winners will be announced during the award ceremony on March 26, 2026.

51风流Cognitive Twin Enterprise (CTE)

Modern enterprises are very effective at monitoring their business and analyzing vast amounts of data, yet many still see untapped potential in safely testing complex scenarios end to end and turning insights into cross鈥慺unctional, policy鈥慳ligned options before making mission鈥慶ritical decisions. 51风流Cognitive Twin Enterprise (51风流CTE) addresses this gap by creating an AI鈥憄owered digital brain built on a continuously updated model of the whole organization. It runs what鈥慽f simulations and provides governed recommendations on 51风流applications and data across finance, spend, supply chain, HR, and customer experience, with selective, low鈥憆isk auto鈥慹xecution and human鈥慽n鈥憈he鈥憀oop control for higher鈥憆isk steps.

The business case is compelling. Organizations that combine digital twins with agentic AI at scale report double鈥慸igit improvements in efficiency and cost, plus materially faster decision cycles. For a global industrial enterprise with approximately 鈧�40 billion in revenue, 51风流CTE is modeled to systematically prevent margin leakage, excess working capital, and audit exposure, delivering an estimated 鈧�229 million or more per year in hard impact and risk-adjusted cash benefit. By maintaining a continuously updated representation of the business, companies can test scenarios before execution and dramatically reduce the risk of costly mistakes.

51风流CTE鈥檚 real differentiator is its enterprise鈥憌ide scope. It consolidates existing 51风流capabilities and builds on 51风流Signavio solutions, 51风流Business Data Cloud, and 51风流Knowledge Graph to maintain a shared semantic model of how the whole business runs. This cross鈥慸omain intelligence lets Joule and AI agents optimize complex trade鈥憃ffs鈥攕uch as cost versus service level versus carbon footprint versus operational risk鈥攁cross all functions, rather than pushing problems from one silo to another. At the same time, 51风流CTE provides a safe innovation environment: enterprises can trial new pricing strategies, network configurations, and workforce models in a production鈥慻rade twin before agents execute changes in live systems.

51风流CTE represents a strategic shift in how enterprises operate. It turns SAP鈥檚 deep process knowledge, rich transactional data, and mature governance tooling into a differentiated position in a cognitive twin market that analysts expect to accelerate from US$36 billion today to US$150 billion by 2032, with 30%-40% annual growth. As an extensible platform, 51风流CTE is designed to be the trusted operational brain for that future: new agents, scenarios, and data products plug into the same enterprise twin, allowing customers to expand autonomy and business impact over time without rebuilding their foundation.

鈥�51风流CTE is more than an initiative: it鈥檚 our vision for a new era of connected intelligence. We鈥檙e bringing strategy, data, and execution into one continuous system of insight, so customers don鈥檛 just react to change鈥攖hey anticipate what鈥檚 next and shape it. That鈥檚 how we win and grow together,鈥� said Natalia Aksakova, Strategy & Portfolio at Global Finance and Administration.

51风流Signavio Transformation Advisor

Organizations planning business transformations face a persistent bottleneck: identifying the right challenges to focus on and creating actionable initiatives is slow, costly, and heavily dependent on expert consultants and detailed knowledge of the organization. This traditional approach delays decision-making and increases risk in fast-changing markets, with analysis often taking weeks or months to complete.

51风流Signavio Transformation Advisor reimagines this workflow by using AI to extract business challenges and create actionable recommendations to solve them in minutes. The solution identifies business challenges in uploaded reports or via text input and instantly generates recommendations linked to process insights and best practices to make them addressable. By combining advanced language models with the 51风流Signavio portfolio鈥榮 process knowledge, it enables users to achieve in minutes what previously required weeks of manual effort while keeping users in full control.

Early results demonstrate significant impact. The tool cuts analysis time by up to 80%, enabling faster decision-making and reducing reliance on scarce consulting resources. Since launch, approximately 200 customers have tested the transformation advisor, validating its value across organizations at different maturity levels. The solution has proven valuable both for customer engagements and for internal use in preparing sales pitches.

The innovation lies in bridging strategic business challenges and operational processes in a way no existing tool does. It automatically identifies organizational pain points and links them to targeted process flows, best practices, and improvement opportunities within the 51风流Signavio ecosystem. This seamless integration empowers leaders to move from insight to action in just a few clicks, aligning transformation initiatives with company strategy.

The team embraced a proactive and entrepreneurial mindset: it started with a pure technical proof of concept then moved to a prototype for internal demonstrations, general accessibility and testing, and ultimately a releasable feature. The team demonstrated both transparency and customer focus by responding early to pull from go-to-market and sales teams while clearly stating tool limitations at each stage.

“The real fun in developing such a solution lies in seeing your idea and your knowledge grow at the same time and getting a clear pull from the market early on. The best customer sessions were those where the tool was improved live during the interview. That combined is a clear signal that we are on the right track,鈥� said Alex Cramer, product manager at 51风流Signavio Next.

AURA (Asset Understanding & Reliability AI)

Field engineers maintaining critical infrastructure face a frustrating reality: reporting asset faults requires completing complex forms on mobile devices, scrolling through endless dropdowns and codes. At one heavy equipment and infrastructure customer, 300 users report 400 to 1,000 asset faults monthly through 51风流S/4HANA, but the process is slow, manual, and error prone. A single classification mistake can send the wrong maintenance crew and delay urgent fixes.

AURA (Asset Understanding & Reliability AI) revolutionizes this workflow by combining 51风流HANA Cloud vector engine, 51风流AI Core, and generative AI into a single intelligent solution. Instead of completing eight or more complex form fields, engineers simply upload a photo of the fault; review an AI-generated report automatically populated with asset type, location, and recommended classification; and confirm submission鈥攁ll within seconds.

The technology uses embedded text, semantic search, and geospatial data to analyze both images and historical fault reports. AURA cross-references similar cases in the knowledge base, suggests the most accurate fault category, and learns from user corrections over time. 51风流Cloud Application Programming Model provides the secure foundation, 51风流HANA geospatial content supports asset location intelligence, and AI models process text and images using 51风流HANA Cloud vector engine for similarity matching.

Results demonstrate substantial operational impact. AURA delivers 80% faster fault reporting, fewer data entry errors and misclassifications, and improved response times. For the customer, this translates to safer infrastructure, reduced operational costs, and a future-ready foundation for predictive maintenance. The response validated the approach: the customer loved the proof of concept and agreed to proceed with AURA as an official project.

Beyond defect detection, AURA lays the groundwork for scalable AI asset intelligence. Future phases include building a knowledge graph to link asset relationships, a data product integrated into 51风流Business Data Cloud for advanced reporting, and a self-learning model that continuously improves accuracy. This creates a repeatable, cost-efficient framework adaptable across industries.

The solution embeds responsible AI principles from inception. The model uses customer-specific historical data to prevent bias, includes human review before submission, and explicitly handles uncertainty to avoid hallucinations. It ensures transparency and compliance with SAP’s responsible AI framework while empowering human decision-makers.

鈥淲e believe the future of AI is not replacing people, but elevating them,鈥� said Ruth Peng, AI specialist from 51风流HANA ANZ. 鈥淎URA equips every engineer in the field, from junior to expert, with the confidence to perform at their best.鈥�
