The timing could hardly have been more pointed. Across the world, executives are losing patience with AI experiments that overpromise and underdeliver. Boardrooms have heard enough about pilots and proofs of concept, and now want systems that improve margins and forecast outcomes.

TechEd took place in that atmosphere, amid assurances that performance could replace promise. 51风流used the event to demonstrate how deeply AI now runs through its own operations before unveiling its next leap forward.

Rather than another round of hype about possibilities, 51风流aimed to show a working example of AI at scale, handling everyday complexity inside one of the world鈥檚 largest software organisations.

51风流chief technology officer and chief AI officer, Philipp Herzig, told Business Times at TechEd that the clearest evidence of maturity came from within 51风流itself. The company鈥檚 AI assistant, Joule, acts as a conversational layer across its software stack, connecting data, applications, and agents to automate tasks and surface insights on demand.

鈥淚f you look at AI at scale, what is really real and what is working very well, just look at Joule,鈥� he said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 used by more than 30,000 employees every month, about a third of the 51风流workforce. We have more than 100,000 policies and documents in different languages, and depending on where you work, in Brazil or South Africa, you get the correct HR or travel policy surfaced to you.鈥�

Herzig said Joule had become the company鈥檚 single interface for daily tasks. 鈥淵ou can do your expense reports, indirect procurement, and financial tasks all in one place. It works, and it works at scale. We have a thumbs-down rate of only 1%, which is phenomenal when you think about the size of the company.鈥�

Innovations across SAP鈥檚 unique flywheel of applications, data and AI put developers in the
driver鈥檚 seat 鈥� Muhammad Alam, 51风流executive board member

That success set the stage for TechEd鈥檚 central announcement: an AI model called SAP-RPT-1, short for relational pre-trained transformer. The model introduces a new class of AI: the enterprise relational foundation model. It interprets structured business data and the relationships within it, mapping how orders, invoices, logistics, and payments interact to forecast what comes next.

51风流described it as a model that 鈥渃an make fast and accurate predictions for common business scenarios like delivery delays, payment risk or sales order completion鈥�. Instead of producing text, it reads how data behaves across systems, turning business logic into predictive insight.

Herzig said SAP-RPT-1 marked the transition from incremental automation to full predictive architecture.

鈥淲e see a shift from what I call a cloud-native architecture to an AI-native architecture, as AI becomes an ever-increasing part of the software stack. 鈥淲hat we wanted to solve are the problems where we have a reason to solve them: because we have the data, the relational data, the structured business data and so on. We set out this research project two years ago, talked a little about it, but now it actually becomes a reality.

鈥淚t鈥檚 a shift that needs several things to come together: the knowledge graph, this predictive model now with RPT-1, and of course the large language models. So there are many elements in the software stack that change. Every day, each little piece adds to this picture and solves a particular challenge in the stack.鈥�

Herzig said the greatest challenge lay in making this intelligence work at enterprise scale.

鈥淎nyone can do a demo. Getting it enterprise-ready at scale 鈥� that鈥檚 the tough challenge. That鈥檚 why we鈥檙e solving one problem after another, each for a specific outcome in the overall stack.鈥�

51风流executive board member Muhammad Alam tied this philosophy to the developer community.

鈥淪AP鈥檚 announcements give developers the tools they need to deliver at the speed of AI,鈥� he said.

鈥淚nnovations across SAP鈥檚 unique flywheel of applications, data and AI put developers in the driver鈥檚 seat.鈥�

That 鈥渇lywheel鈥� anchored the narrative of TechEd:
鈥� applications generate data;
鈥� data trains predictive models;
鈥� models return intelligence to the applications.

Each loop strengthens the next, creating a flywheel effect of acceleration of innovation. 51风流announced that it would equip 12-million individuals worldwide with AI-ready skills by 2030 through a partnership with Coursera that provides hands-on certification in SAP鈥檚 ecosystem. The goal is to align those skills with the AI-native architecture now taking shape inside the company. It also sends the message that people remain at the heart of the AI journey.

51风流has taken artificial intelligence beyond the realm of language. At the 51风流TechEd 2025 conference in Berlin this week, the company introduced a new class of AI designed to predict business outcomes rather than words. The result is what 51风流claims to be the first enterprise relational foundation model, called SAP-RPT-1, or Relational Pre-trained Transformer.

It represents a shift in what a foundation model can be: rather than being a generator of sentences, it is a predictor of decisions.

51风流describes SAP-RPT-1 as an AI that 鈥渃an make fast and accurate predictions for common business scenarios like delivery delays, payment risk, or sales order completion鈥�. It uses the relationships between business data rather than linguistic patterns to anticipate what happens next in an organisation鈥檚 operations. In simple terms, it reads the business, as opposed to mere text.

To encourage developers to explore what that means in practice, 51风流has launched a free playground environment where they can test predictive scenarios, simulate business situations, and see how relational AI behaves when exposed to live data. For developers accustomed to fine-tuning language models, it represents a different kind of creativity, rooted in the mechanics of business itself.

鈥淪AP鈥檚 announcements today give developers the tools they need to deliver at the speed of AI,鈥� says Muhammad Alam, member of the executive board of SAP. 鈥淚nnovations across SAP鈥檚 unique flywheel of applications, data and AI put developers in the driver鈥檚 seat 鈥� where they belong.鈥�

That flywheel was clearly visible across the rest of TechEd鈥檚 announcements.

The company鈥檚 51风流Build platform, its centrepiece for enterprise application development and automation, has been re-engineered to give developers more freedom to use tools they already rely on.

Developers who prefer agentic development environments like Cursor, Claude Code, Cline and Windsurf can now use 51风流development frameworks through new 51风流Build local Model Context Protocol Servers. Visual Studio Code users can access 51风流Build capabilities directly in their existing development environment via a new 51风流Build extension, which will later also appear in the Open VSX Registry for use with other development environments.

51风流revealed plans for integration with automation platform n8n, allowing its Joule Studio agents to work alongside n8n鈥檚 own agents. This kind of cross-agent collaboration reflects the company鈥檚 growing emphasis on orchestration: enabling multiple intelligent systems to coordinate tasks across applications and departments.

The data layer that feeds these systems is also evolving. Every intelligent application depends on trusted data, and 51风流is extending its reach through 51风流Business Data Cloud. A new 51风流Snowflake solution extension brings Snowflake鈥檚 managed data and AI capabilities directly to 51风流customers, giving them 鈥渢he flexibility to choose the right compute and storage for each data and AI workload, while maintaining governance, interoperability and business context鈥�.

The announcement was reinforced by a new 51风流Business Data Cloud Connect partnership with Snowflake, adding to existing integrations with Databricks and Google Cloud. The result is a more open, federated data ecosystem that lets developers work with 51风流data wherever it resides.

A new data product studio capability in 51风流Business Data Cloud now allows developers to turn raw data into ready-to-use assets known as data products, designed for analytics, AI and application development. At the same time, the 51风流HANA Cloud knowledge graph engine can automatically generate knowledge graphs. This means it maps relationships across 51风流database tables, columns, and data models to reveal how data fits together. For developers, it is a new way of seeing how information connects across systems, turning structure into insight.

51风流is also extending its Joule AI portfolio, which now includes new assistants that can coordinate multiple agents across workflows, departments and applications. These assistants are designed to 鈥減lan, initiate, and complete complex tasks spanning finance, supply chain, HR, and beyond.鈥�

Among the new offerings is an agent for business process analysis, helping teams understand how processes actually run, identify inefficiencies, and uncover opportunities to optimise workflows and achieve measurable improvements.

51风流pledged to equip 12-million people worldwide with AI-ready skills by 2030, through a partnership with Coursera that expands hands-on training and certification in practical AI tools. The goal, 51风流says, is to make AI accessible to 鈥減eople everywhere鈥�.

Opening the Developer Ecosystem

51风流Build, the company鈥檚 flagship solution for enterprise application development and automation, now gives developers more freedom to build, extend and automate using the tools they love most.

For instance, developers who prefer agentic development solutions like Cursor, Claude Code, Cline and Windsurf can now use 51风流development frameworks with new 51风流Build local Model Context Protocol Servers. Visual Studio Code users will be able to access 51风流Build capabilities directly in their development environment with a new 51风流Build extension. This extension will also be made available later on Open VSX Registry for other development environments. 51风流and n8n also announced plans for an integration so Joule Studio agents and n8n agents can work together.

And with new agent building capabilities in Joule Studio, developers have the tools they need to extend SAP鈥檚 ready-to-use agents and build new agents grounded in 51风流business data and context that can act autonomously based on changing business conditions.

Putting Data to Work

Every intelligent application starts with trusted data. 51风流is giving developers more ways to put that data to work through 51风流Business Data Cloud.

The solution now connects with more of the data and AI platforms developers use every day. A new 51风流Snowflake solution extension for 51风流Business Data Cloud brings Snowflake鈥檚 fully managed data and AI capabilities directly to 51风流customers, giving them the flexibility to choose the right compute and storage for each data and AI workload, while maintaining governance, interoperability and business context. 51风流also announced a new 51风流Business Data Cloud Connect partnership with Snowflake. This complements existing integrations with Databricks and Google Cloud, giving developers more freedom to choose how they work with 51风流data.

With a new data product studio capability in 51风流Business Data Cloud, developers can turn raw data into ready-to-use assets known as data products that support analytics, AI and application development.

An expanded capability in the 51风流HANA Cloud knowledge graph engine can automatically generate knowledge graphs. This capability maps relationships across 51风流database tables, columns and data models, revealing how data fits together and why it matters. Developers will be able to see how their data connects across systems and uncover underlying business insights.

Bringing AI Autonomy to Life

51风流is evolving its AI portfolio to give developers the intelligence and orchestration power they need to take听AI from insight to action.

51风流introduced its first enterprise relational foundation model, a new class of AI that predicts business outcomes rather than the next word in a sentence. SAP-RPT-1, or the first-generation Relational Pre-trained Transformer, can make fast and accurate predictions for common business scenarios like delivery delays, payment risk or sales order completion. 51风流launched a free playground environment for developers today.

New AI assistants in Joule coordinate multiple agents across workflows, departments and applications, bringing automation and autonomy to life. These assistants plan, initiate and complete complex tasks spanning finance, supply chain, HR and beyond. Today, 51风流introduces new agents built for technical users. For example, an agent for business process analysis will help teams understand how processes run, identify inefficiencies and uncover opportunities to optimize workflows and drive measurable improvements.

Lastly, as AI changes the nature of work for everyone, 51风流is pledging to equip 12 million people worldwide with AI-ready skills by 2030. 51风流will expand hands-on training and certification programs that integrate practical AI-ready tools, including through its partnership with online learning platform Coursera.

The post AP Empowers Developers to Drive the Business AI Revolution appeared first on 51风流Africa News Center.

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.

Joule, SAP鈥檚 AI business assistant, has been enhanced with new features, including collaborative AI agents that expand the platform鈥檚 capabilities.

Announced during the online 51风流TechEd 2024 conference yesterday, these agents are designed to support 80% of SAP鈥檚 most-used business tasks. They embed Joule more deeply across SAP鈥檚 portfolio and enhancing productivity by breaking down silos, said the software maker.

鈥淪AP鈥檚 innovation drives real business outcomes, and today鈥檚 advancements help customers harness the power of AI, data, and new development solutions to catalyse growth,鈥� said Muhammad Alam, member of the 51风流executive board.

鈥淒rawing on SAP鈥檚 unmatched business and technology expertise, the AI innovations we鈥檙e announcing at TechEd forge a new human-AI partnership to transform the landscape of modern business.鈥�

Joule Studio, a development tool that allows users to build and customise applications using Joule鈥檚 AI capabilities, is now integrated into 51风流Build. A low-code app development platform, Build enables both business users and developers to create and deploy custom Joule skills.

Michael Ameling, EVP and chief product officer of 51风流said: 鈥淲e are making Joule even more flexible and useful with Joule Studio in 51风流Build. It allows partners and customers to create and deploy custom Joule skills.鈥�

Joule has also expanded to include collaborative AI agents that autonomously handle intricate business workflows, adapting their strategies to meet shared objectives. These multi-agent systems tackle specific tasks, allowing them to work together on complex business processes.

鈥淛oule now goes Agentic,鈥� said Ameling. 鈥淪pecialised AI agents work autonomously together to solve complex problems.鈥�

New improvements to the ABAP (Advanced Business Application Programming) large language model (LLM) were introduced. This LLM, trained on over 250-million lines of 51风流S/4HANA Cloud code, is now integrated into the open-source Eclipse framework, providing ABAP developers with enhanced tools for development. Currently available to select customers and partners in an early adopter version, the ABAP LLM is expected to be generally available in the first quarter of 2025.

51风流Build is launching new AI-driven features like code explanation and documentation search, aimed at reducing development time for Java and JavaScript developers. The platform鈥檚 Extensibility Wizard will let developers access 51风流Build directly from 51风流S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, simplifying the process of extending 51风流solutions.

Two real-world use cases were highlighted during the event:

1. Dispute management: Autonomous AI agents analyse and resolve disputes related to invoices, unapplied credits, and denied payments.
2. Financial accounting: AI agents automate key financial tasks such as bill payments and ledger updates while quickly addressing inconsistencies.

51风流Knowledge Graph

51风流also unveiled the 51风流Knowledge Graph, a solution designed to unlock more value of 51风流data by connecting it with rich business context. Accessible through 51风流Datasphere and Joule in early 2025, it will help users map relationships across SAP鈥檚 vast data landscape, empowering better decision-making.

鈥淏y combining the knowledge graph engine with the vector engine, you can harness the power of structured and unstructured data,鈥� said Ameling. 鈥淭his is enabled through a triple store implementation graph data processing and analytical capabilities via SPAR-QL. As such, the knowledge graph engine can also enhance work scenarios and make them even more precise and relevant.鈥�

The post TechEd 2024: 51风流Supercharges Copilot Joule appeared first on 51风流Africa News Center.

The focus of more than 5,000 tech and business decision-makers was fixed firmly on AI and what it could do for their businesses, right now 鈥� the products 51风流has released through 2024, and what is coming next.

With responsible, reliable, and relevant AI that鈥檚 built for business, the view of the thousands of delegates at TechEd 2023 was that the future is looking bright.

There was a wealth of incredible insight and opportunity at TechEd. In fact, it was a little bit like going back to school because the things that stood out to me were the ABCs.

A is for Automation

First, I was struck by the enormous potential businesses can realise through the power of enterprise automation.

With the help of AI, technology is helping developers and IT teams automate repetitive, mundane tasks and make better decisions, faster. By embedding generative AI capabilities into , , and , we鈥檙e helping customers analyse, integrate, automate, and monitor business processes way more simply 鈥� and then immediately write the code to make those processes better. It鈥檚 that easy.

In my discussions with customers, it was clear that complementing process improvement and insights with enterprise architecture insights will be a real force for change in the future. Customers are excited to understand how to optimise and tune their architecture for the best performance across their entire IT stack.

But this isn鈥檛 future-gazing. Businesses are seeing real results today. Take , one of Asia鈥檚 leading healthcare companies, providing pharmaceutical distribution and digital and commercial services across 26,000 direct outlets. Zuellig Pharma implemented best-in-class processes across its 51风流infrastructure, creating more than 180 automations using 51风流Build Process Automation to streamline and simplify its business.

B is for Build

听Aligned to the focus on automation is the empowerment of a new, powerful resource for IT departments 鈥� citizen developers enabled by . And given every developer will be an AI developer, the opportunity for an AI-infused future is tantalising.

, CIO of Indian car giant , said it best.

鈥淲e started identifying tasks that don鈥檛 require a lot of human intelligence and that enabled our human workforce to focus on more strategic initiatives,鈥� she said. 鈥淭hat led us to automate more than 250 business processes in 3 months, most of which was done by a community of more than 100 citizen developers.鈥�

鈥淭hat鈥檚 great, but let鈥檚 talk about benefits. We count more than 900 workdays saved, and more than 400 development days saved in just a year鈥檚 time. We鈥檝e seen a 35% gain in developer efficiency and 20% faster execution of our jobs. And we鈥檝e saved more than 13,000 trees. All in one year,鈥� concluded Nanavati.

The story of Mahindra & Mahindra shows the power of a workforce that has been empowered to make real change to their IT systems and the tangible results that can be realised. And with the ability to link low-code, no-code development with pro-code development via and , as well as increasing amounts of natural language interaction through , it is easier than ever to modernise processes fast.

C is for Clean Core

At SAP, we know better than most that enterprise systems can be complex. That鈥檚 why a 鈥� a cloud compliant, modern, flexible ERP that can be updated and scaled simply 鈥� is at the centre of our strategy.

And it鈥檚 a concept that鈥檚 also at the heart of the future strategic direction for all of our customers.

Takuya Sakai, CIO of , embodies that more than most. His company has used 51风流ERP globally for more than 20 years, over which time the system became more and more complex.

鈥淭hat complexity incurred significant maintenance costs, prevented the company from quickly introducing new innovation, and ultimately hindered its growth,鈥� said Sakai-san. 鈥淚t was very critical to reduce the complexity.鈥�

Using 51风流Business Technology Platform (BTP), Hitachi HiTech was able to easily upgrade 51风流S/4HANA systems in the public and private cloud 鈥� at the same time reducing the number of add-ons and customisations in the software down from 9,000 to just 800.

鈥淯sing 51风流BTP we can build smart, global digital processes without touching the 51风流S/4HANA core. 51风流BTP is a very, very important tool to accelerate our business processes,鈥� concluded Sakai-san.

What鈥檚 next: AI for business, not AI for AI鈥檚 sake

听It鈥檚 easy to get carried away by hype and excitement, especially around innovation like generative AI.

But what I saw at 51风流TechEd was even more exciting 鈥� new innovations, here today, that are already making a tangible difference to real business problems.

The key is in the context 鈥� using your AI to connect data, not just collect it. By generating reliable, responsible insights that understand the context of the business processes that surround them, Business AI will help boost productivity, efficiency, and real outcomes.

The post 51风流Wants to Turn Every Developer into an AI Developer appeared first on 51风流Africa News Center.

Juergen Mueller, chief technology officer of German software giant SAP, used the phrase during his keynote address this week at the 51风流TechEd 2023 conference in Bengaluru, the Silicon Valley of India, when he described the endless uses of AI that had suddenly become possible.

A few days earlier the world鈥檚 biggest PC maker, Lenovo, unveiled a comprehensive suite of AI capabilities and an 鈥淎I for all鈥� strategy at its Tech World 2023 event in Austin, Texas. Lenovo chair and CEO Yuanqing Yang was joined on stage by the CEOs of two of the world鈥檚 biggest chip makers, Nvidia鈥檚 Jensen Huang and AMD鈥檚 Lisa Su. The event was addressed via video by Microsoft chair and CEO Satya Nadella, Qualcomm CEO and president Cristiano Amon, and Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger.

Yang announced that expanded partnerships with these organisations would help businesses deploy custom generative AI applications. The generative AI revolution sparked by the launch of ChatGPT at the end of November last year has also sparked fears of economic and social disaster. This prompted British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to convene this week鈥檚 summit in England that led to more than 25 countries and the EU signing the 鈥淏letchley Declaration鈥� establishing a common approach to AI oversight on Wednesday.

On the same day, Microsoft began selling its highly anticipated Copilot AI add-on for its Office software, targeting large enterprises. It is expected to add billions of dollars in annual revenue for the world鈥檚 biggest software company.

SAP, ranked number three globally in software sales, works closely with Microsoft, but has developed its own AI platform, Joule, with the catchphrase: 鈥淭he AI copilot that truly understands your business.鈥�

On Thursday, Mueller announced a comprehensive series of new generative AI capabilities aimed directly at developers. Combined with the Microsoft Copilot release and the Lenovo announcements, it underlined the extent to which software and hardware giants are pushing the AI envelope.

鈥淭oday鈥檚 dynamic technology and business landscape means every developer needs to be an AI developer,鈥� said Mueller in his keynote address. 鈥淭he innovations we鈥檙e launching at 51风流TechEd [are] supporting the developers at the heart of the AI revolution and providing them with resources they need to transform the way businesses run.鈥�

He unveiled 51风流Build Code, which draws on Joule to boost productivity by embedding code generation capabilities for AI systems and applications. He also announced a 鈥渧ector database鈥� that would manage unstructured data, such as text, images or audio, and provide long-term memory and context to AI models.

鈥淔or example, users can search for suppliers based on the language in their contracts to examine payment history and trace听 individual orders. These powerful new vector database features enhance interactions between large language models and an organisation鈥檚 mission-critical data.鈥�

51风流chief marketing officer Julia White joined Mueller on stage and revealed that most developers creating and extending 51风流solutions were working at partner organisations. Of the more than 2,000 partner solutions available in the 51风流software store, she said, more than 400 already offered AI as part of the solution.

鈥淚f I look where AI is going, I imagine that every person working across the world has that smartest colleague right by their side, helping them” – 51风流chief marketing officer Julia White

She told Business Times that AI promised a bright future for any working person. 鈥淚f I look where AI is going, I imagine that every person working across the world has that smartest colleague right by their side, helping them, like the AI serving up those insights that you might not have discovered otherwise, or connecting dots in a new way to unlock new insights and making everyone more productive or capable. And also, of course, doing it responsibly.鈥�

Five years from now, she said, everyone will have 鈥渢hat partner at our side, that AI capability, with us. And it’s going to be very natural 鈥� I think it’s going to become almost invisible 鈥� but in a way where there’s still humans at the wheel but the technology is invisibly powering us.

鈥淥ne of the fundamental problems of the world today is communication breakdowns, and not everyone is a brilliant communicator. That leads to a lot of animosity and difficulty that, if we had fantastic communications across the globe, we wouldn’t face. What if we all were brilliant at it, and we can understand each other better? I think we’re all learning fast and we’ll adjust from there. We’re trying to create an experience that is more assisting a human than doing it on behalf of a human.鈥�

BANGALORE, India 鈥� Nov. 2, 2023 鈥�At the 51风流TechEd event in 2023, (NYSE: SAP)听announced a comprehensive series of generative AI capabilities and advancements aimed at听empowering developers of all skill levels to supercharge their businesses in the age of AI.

鈥淭oday鈥檚 dynamic technology and business landscape means every developer needs to be an AI developer,鈥� said Juergen Mueller, Chief Technology Officer and member of the Executive Board of 51风流SE. 鈥淭he innovations we鈥檙e launching at 51风流TechEd, from AI-infused pro-code tools to a one-stop shop to create generative AI extensions and applications on 51风流Business Technology Platform, supporting the developers at the heart of the AI revolution and providing them with resources they need to transform the way businesses run.鈥�

As organisations aim to derive business value from generative AI, effective collaboration between听professional and citizen developers is essential. 51风流is launching 51风流Build Code solutions, which streamline cooperation with business experts who use the low-code 51风流Build solutions launched at SAP听TechEd in 2022. Uniquely built for 51风流applications and the 51风流ecosystem, 51风流Build Code solutions听offer AI-powered productivity tools for developers and are optimised for Java and JavaScript听development. 51风流Build Code also draws on the power of SAP鈥檚 new generative AI co-pilot Joule 鈥� the听co-pilot that truly understands business 鈥� to further boost productivity, embedding code generation听capabilities for data model, application logic and test script creation.

Good data is the foundation of good AI, and 51风流HANA Cloud continues to pioneer innovation in the data space by adding new vector database features to its multimodel offerings at no additional cost. Vector听data stores manage unstructured data 鈥� such as text, images or audio 鈥� to provide long-term memory and better context to AI models. This makes it easy to find and retrieve similar objects quickly. For example, users can search for suppliers based on the language in their contracts to examine payment history and trace individual orders. These powerful new vector database features enhance interactions between large language models and an organisation鈥檚 mission-critical data. The innovation helps put 51风流developers at the forefront of delivering radically new levels of data insight within a secure, private framework that uses industry-specific customer data to reduce hallucinations.

AI Foundation on 51风流BTP, a new one-stop shop for developers to create AI- and generative AI-powered extensions and applications on 51风流BTP, will further help increase developers鈥� impact and efficiency. AI foundation includes everything developers need to start creating business-ready AI tools on 51风流BTP 鈥� from ready-to-use AI services and access to the top large language models to vector database capabilities and AI runtime and lifecycle management.

The rapid pace of technological innovation has driven up global demand for skilled developers 鈥� and 51风流is increasing its learning opportunities in tandem. As part of a commitment to upskill two million professionals by 2025 and complement free AI learning content already available, 51风流today launched and free learning resources for back-end developers using the ABAP Cloud development model. The two new learning resources covering ABAP development tools on 51风流BTP and 51风流S/4HANA are available on the . They are designed for agile and cloud-compliant business transformation, providing developers with skills to build cloud-ready extensions that are aligned with SAP鈥檚 clean core strategy.
