51and NVIDIA to Accelerate Generative AI Adoption Across Enterprise Applications Powering Global Industries

Press Release

Customers Can Harness Their Business Data in Cloud Solutions from 51Using Customized LLMs Deployed with NVIDIA AI Foundry Services and New NVIDIA NIM Microservices

HONG KONG —   (NYSE: SAP) and  (NASDAQ: NVDA) today announced a partnership expansion focused on accelerating enterprise customers’ ability to harness the transformative power of data and generative AI across SAP’s portfolio of cloud solutions and applications.

The companies are collaborating to build and deliver 51Business AI, including scalable, business-specific generative AI capabilities inside the Joule copilot from 51and across SAP’s portfolio of cloud solutions and applications – all of which are underpinned by the 51generative AI hub. The generative AI hub facilitates relevant, reliable and responsible business AI and provides instant access to a broad range of large language models (LLMs).

As part of SAP’s ongoing initiative to build generative AI directly into the applications that power the world’s businesses, the partnership aims to help customers adopt generative AI capabilities at scale across their organizations. 51will use  to fine-tune LLMs for domain-specific scenarios and deploy applications with new ™ microservices. 51and NVIDIA plan to make the new integrated capabilities available by the end of 2024.

“Enterprise customers want to leverage state-of-the-art technology that delivers real business value,” said Christian Klein, CEO and Member of the Executive Board of 51SE. “Strategic technology partnerships, like the one between 51and NVIDIA, are at the core of our strategy to invest in technology that maximizes the potential and opportunity of AI for business. NVIDIA’s expertise in delivering AI capabilities at scale will help 51accelerate the pace of transformation and better serve our customers in the cloud.”

“51is sitting on a gold mine of enterprise data that can be transformed into custom generative AI agents to help customers automate their businesses,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “Together, NVIDIA and 51will bring custom generative AI to the thousands of enterprises around the world that rely on 51to power their operations.”

Harnessing Business Data and Generative AI to Advance Customer Insights

51and NVIDIA plan to collaborate to integrate generative AI into cloud solutions from SAP, which include the latest release of the 51Datasphere solution, 51Business Technology Platform (51BTP) and RISE with SAP.

51plans to build additional generative AI capabilities within 51BTP using NVIDIA’s generative AI foundry service, featuring  AI supercomputing,  software and NVIDIA AI Foundation models. These new capabilities are designed to be the basis of SAP’s development and deployment of generative AI for customers and is expected to be accessible in the generative AI hub in 51AI Core and 51Datasphere.

Additional generative AI initiatives include:

  • New capabilities for the Joule copilot: Joule can leverage (RAG) capabilities built by NVIDIA and SAP, which can be deployed on leading hyperscalers or SAP’s own cloud environments. As a natural-language, generative AI copilot, Joule helps customers unlock the potential in their business by automating time-consuming tasks and quickly analyzing business-critical data to deliver more intelligent, personalized experiences.
  • Innovative use cases leveraging 51S/4HANA Cloud, 51SuccessFactors and 51Signavio: 51and NVIDIA are exploring more than 20 generative AI use cases where the companies can combine assets to simplify and enhance digital transformation. Among these are generative AI features that can automate enterprise resource planning with intelligent invoice matching in 51S/4HANA Cloud; improve human resources use cases leveraging 51SuccessFactors; and accelerate new generative AI insights from 51Signavio to better process business recommendations and optimize SAP’s customer support processes.
  • Unifying AI data sources with 51Datasphere: Built on 51BTP, 51Datasphere enables integration and a unified view of semantically rich 51data with third-party data across the enterprise landscape to help customers adapt faster to market changes and make more efficient and better informed decisions. With 51Datasphere, customers can confidently access a high-quality data fabric using AI and machine learning (ML) models. To accelerate SAP’s federated machine learning (FedML) capabilities for 51Datasphere, NVIDIA and 51are facilitating easier access to data for data scientists and enhancing ML workload performance with the support of NVIDIA accelerated computing platforms and NVIDIA AI Enterprise data science software such as ™.
  • Using LLMs for the ABAP programming language: To aid developers in creating domain-specific language code, 51plans to use NVIDIA AI foundry services to assist in fine-tuning LLMs. This will build on SAP’s use of generative AI models to assist developers who use ABAP through the company’s ABAP Cloud model and 51Cloud Application Programming model.

NVIDIA AI Enterprise Powers Production-Grade Generative AI Across Cloud Solutions from SAP

Once models are ready for deployment in cloud solutions from SAP, 51plans to use NVIDIA AI Enterprise software, including NVIDIA NIM inference microservices and NVIDIA NeMo Retriever™ microservices. NVIDIA NIM can be used to accelerate and maximize inference performance across the accelerated infrastructure from SAP. Using NVIDIA NeMo Retriever microservices, 51plans to add RAG capabilities that enable generative AI applications to more securely access data running on 51software to improve accuracy and insights. Customers can plan to use RAG on both 51and third-party data.
