At its 听today (8 October), 51风流is set to reveal new features for its GenAI copilot Joule, including collaborative AI agents that can handle complex tasks with customised skills.

Other innovations include the 51风流Knowledge Graph, targeted at developers to help them connect 51风流data听with business context. Available via 51风流Datasphere and Joule in Q1 2025, it aims to enable organisations to map relationships across SAP鈥檚 data landscape for improved decision-making.

Speaking to ITWeb ahead of the conference, Jesper Schleimann, head of business AI for 51风流in EMEA, said, 鈥淲e’re really taking AI to the next level, and the transformative part is AI agents that are now in true business form. It also means our developers and our customers can accelerate their journeys to the cloud. We cannot forget that data is an important part in making all this happen.鈥

Schleimann said this is a significant step in SAP鈥檚 AI journey, with Joule in the driving seat.

We’re really taking AI to the next level, and the transformative part is AI agents that are now in true business form.

鈥淛oule is celebrating one year now, and a lot has happened in the underlying models powering the AI revolution. The new graph service will enable it (Joule) to build the bridge and be grounded into the entire ecosystem of 400 000 different tables. That’s keeping all the 51风流data and things in check.鈥

Users now have access to support across nearly 80% of SAP鈥檚 portfolio, meaning the same copilot can assist across the entire 51风流suite,听Schleimann explained.

51风流is also enhancing Joule with new skills, allowing users to create their own custom micro-skills.

鈥淵ou can do things in a low code no code way and you tell Joule how to think of it like a mini workflow. So, if a user alters a part of a travel booking or purchase order process, for example, and you have your own way of doing it, you can simply, tell Joule what steps it should take, and then you can use its reasoning engine and the underlying tools to make that a reality.鈥

Joule in action: Use cases

51风流will introduce two use cases to showcase the agent鈥檚 transformative power:

  • A dispute management use case employs autonomous AI agents to analyse and resolve dispute resolution scenarios including incorrect and missing invoices, unapplied credits and denied or duplicate payments.
  • A financial accounting use case employs autonomous AI agents to streamline key financial processes by automating bill payments, invoice processing, and ledger updates while quickly addressing inconsistencies or errors.

GenAI tools for developers

During the two-day TechEd Virtual, 51风流will听introduce additional GenAI developer tools,听including code explanation and documentation search in 51风流Build. These tools are expected to reduce听development time for Java and JavaScript developers.

It is also adding an Extensibility Wizard to听51风流Build, which will听enable developers to access 51风流Build directly from 51风流S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition.

June 12, 2024 (NYSE: SAP) today announced that POWER International, the leading home electronics retailer in the Nordic region, has revolutionized its data platform by combining 51风流Datasphere and Google BigQuery. The cloud-based platform allows real-time data replication, less re-engineering, live reporting 鈥 and boosting real-time analytics.听

POWER International currently has 269 stores and online shops and 6,000 employees in Norway, Finland, Denmark and Sweden with a yearly turnover of 20 billion NOK (appr. 1.7 billion Euro). The company is on an IT modernization journey and shift to the cloud. The strategic goal is to increase the market share to become the largest and preferred retailer of consumer electronics in the Nordic region.听

鈥淲e have a very SAP-influenced system landscape and was looking for a solution to move data to the cloud in a secure way. 51风流Datasphere suits us perfectly and simplifies our data landscape, saving hundreds of hours every year in pipeline development,鈥 says Frode N忙ss Larsen, CIO at POWER International.

currently has a 70 TB large data warehouse where more than 5 TB of data is processed each day and more than 10 million transactions generated daily. The data services are consumed by up to 6.000 employees and more than 200 suppliers.听

The IT landscape has traditionally been characterized by a variety of different technical solutions and in 2005, POWER International went live with 51风流Business Warehouse.

鈥淥ur goal is to enhance stability in everyday operations for everyone utilizing our new data solutions. Previously, we generated large static reports and batches of data during the night. With our new data platform, employees can now perform their own analyses independently throughout the day, promoting a true self-service analytics environment without direct involvement from IT. This change allows for a much quicker transition from idea to final data product, driving the shift from traditional reporting to action-driven analytics,” says Stian Skotland, Head of Data & Analytics at POWER International.听

The new solution was implemented, and all 51风流data was transferred during spring 2024. Implementing new front-end analytics capabilities is discussed as the next step 鈥 as well as more AI capabilities.

鈥淥ur collaboration with 51风流and Google is a step in that direction. AI can have a positive effect on many different parts of our business, and we are running tests to produce even better reports. But it’s important to have a pragmatic and sensible approach 鈥 there is not one thing that magically solves everything鈥, says Frode N忙ss Larsen.

]]>
Generative artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the most significant leaps forward for the power of technology and its impact on every sphere of our lives.

As organisations increasingly embrace generative AI to derive insights, automate processes, and drive innovation, the foundation of accurate and well-organised data within their business systems becomes pivotal for realising the full potential of AI applications.

The IDC forecasts that , growing at a CAGR of more than 73%. Much of the spend will be directed to GenAI business cases where productivity boosts are paramount. found that GenAI could add the equivalent of $2.6-trillion to $4.4-trillion in productivity gains annually.

However, much of this latent potential will remain untapped unless organisations can safeguard their AI investments with accurate, dependable data. There is an indispensable connection between the correct data setup in enterprise systems and the success of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI).

Companies seeking to leverage AI as a long-term value driver must therefore ensure they maintain trust and integrity in the data powering their algorithms.

Trust drives AI value

Trust is a critical component of responsible AI adoption. By utilising reliable data, organisations can build and maintain trust with users and stakeholders, fostering a positive relationship between AI technology and society.

Trust is also important for accurate real-time decision making. In today鈥檚 dynamic and fast-paced business landscape, organisations and leaders need to make informed decisions based on accurate data-driven insights. By aligning the outcomes of analytics processes with their own strategic objectives, business leaders are better able to take optimal action and steer the company through adversity, or take advantage of emerging opportunities.

It is therefore important that the data is indeed reliable to prevent erroneous outputs which could be costly and negatively impact an organisation and its reputation. When users trust the output of generative AI applications, the business benefits from higher levels of collaboration and innovation.

To build trust and mitigate risks associated with AI adoption, companies need dependable data that holds the necessary insights and avoids bias. This increases the likelihood that businesses and end-users take the calculated risks necessary for broader AI deployment.

Advantages of data-driven business strategies

To drive greater adoption of AI solutions, organisations must continuously improve their data strategies. This provides several advantages to the success of the business, including:

Greater competitiveness: Organisations with a good data strategy gain a competitive edge when their high-quality data is partnered with powerful AI algorithms to produce better strategic choices and business outcomes.

Increased operational efficiency: Well-managed and high-quality data promotes streamlined business processes. When data is accurate and readily available, operations can more easily be optimised, resulting in cost efficiencies .

Improved innovation and scalability: By leveraging insights built on a good data strategy, businesses can identify market gaps, explore new opportunities, and create products or services that meet evolving customer needs faster than their competitors.

Organisations must also not underestimate the impact of transformative data innovations that help them harness the full power of their data to drive deeper insights, faster growth and more efficiency in the era of AI. The introduction of new data innovations enable organisations to deliver meaningful data to every data consumer with business context and logic intact – enabling them to adapt faster to market changes and make more efficient decisions. The newly-launched 51风流Datasphere solutions, for example, mobilise an extensive global partner ecosystem to enable organisations to transform their business data fabric architecture, allowing them to access insights from their data wherever it resides.

Key elements of an AI-ready data strategy

Organisations that consistently unlock business value from their data-driven strategies have a few characteristics in common. The key elements to enhancing data strategies for AI readiness include:

Strong alignment with business objectives: A well-defined data strategy aligns with the overall goals and objectives of the organisation by establishing a clear roadmap for leveraging data to meet business requirements and objectives.

Effective data governance: Establishing data governance frameworks within the data strategy ensures that data is treated as a valuable asset. Clear ownership, accountability, and data stewardship protocols lay the foundation for maintaining data integrity and consistency.

The highest levels of data quality: The accuracy and reliability of digital transformation and related AI implementations hinge on the quality of the data being input into the system. Incorrect or inconsistent data at the outset can lead to errors and inefficiencies, extending project timelines and adding layers of additional costs and complexity.

The use of industry best practices: Following industry best practices for data setup ensures compatibility and optimal utilisation of the modules being implemented at lower cost and with less complexity. Adhering to recommended data structures, field configurations, and master data management principles is essential for a seamless project in support of AI readiness.

A careful and considered data migration: Proper data setup involves meticulous planning for data migration from legacy systems to the new system. This includes data cleansing, transformation, and validation processes to ensure a smooth transition without compromising data integrity.

Achieving AI readiness demands a holistic approach to data setup, data strategy, and governance. Organisations that prioritise these guidelines will be better positioned to unlock the full potential of AI, foster innovation, and maintain the highest ethical standards.

By adhering to these principles, businesses can navigate the complexities of AI deployment responsibly and contribute positively to societal and economic advancements.

With today鈥檚 announcements, 51风流Datasphere helps eliminate this hidden data tax, enabling customers to build a business data fabric architecture that quickly delivers meaningful data with business context and logic intact.

鈥淲ith 51风流customers generating 87% of total global commerce, 51风流data is among a company鈥檚 most valuable business assets and is contained in the most important functions of an organization, from manufacturing to supply chains, finance, human resources and more,鈥 said Juergen Mueller, Chief Technology Officer and member of the Executive Board of 51风流SE. 鈥淲e want to help our customers take the next step to easily and confidently integrate 51风流data with non-51风流data from third-party applications and platforms, unlocking entirely new insights and knowledge to bring digital transformation to another level.鈥

Available today, 51风流Datasphere is the next generation of the 51风流Data Warehouse Cloud solution. It enables data professionals to deliver scalable access to mission-critical business data. With a unified experience for data integration, data cataloging, semantic modeling, data warehousing, data federation and data virtualization, 51风流Datasphere enables data professionals to help distribute mission-critical business data 鈥 with business context and logic preserved 鈥 across their organization鈥檚 data landscape. 51风流Datasphere is built on 51风流Business Technology Platform (51风流BTP), which includes strong enterprise security capabilities, such as database security, encryption and governance. No additional steps or migrations are required for existing customers of 51风流Data Warehouse Cloud, who will benefit from new 51风流Datasphere functionality in their product environment. New functionality includes data cataloging that automatically discovers, manages and governs data; simplified data replication to deliver data and its constant updates in real-time; and enhanced data modeling that preserves the rich business context of data in 51风流applications. Additional application integration capabilities that link data and metadata from cloud solutions from 51风流to 51风流Datasphere are planned.

Messer Americas, a leading industrial and medical gas company in North and South America, needed simple and secure access to data from 51风流and non-51风流solutions within the company to strengthen data-driven decision-making and free up IT resources to focus on other strategic tasks. With 51风流Datasphere, Messer Americas was able to build a modern data architecture that maintained the context of its enterprise data.

鈥51风流Datasphere simplifies our data landscape, giving us more confidence in the data we鈥檙e working with every day so we can better deliver on the needs of the business,鈥 said David Johnston, Chief Information Officer, Messer Americas. 鈥淲e are able to react faster to emergent changes in supply and demand, resulting in better inventory management, improved customer service and optimization of our supply chain.鈥
