We鈥檙e entering a new era, according to 51风流Executive Board Member Muhammad Alam, in charge of 51风流Product & Engineering: 鈥渢he era of agentic AI, where AI moves from being just a tool to becoming your trusted teammate.”

Joined on stage by 51风流CTO Philipp Herzig and Michael Ameling, president of 51风流Business Technology Platform, Alam set the stage during the kick-off keynote, saying: 鈥淎s developers, you are not on the sidelines of this AI revolution. You are the revolution. And we are here to supercharge you for what鈥檚 next.鈥�

Supercharging developers

Together they dismissed suggestions that AI will replace developers. 鈥淭he truth is that developers aren’t going away,鈥� Alam said. 鈥淭hey are getting supercharged. They’re becoming the architects of smart connected businesses. So, the real question isn’t if we need developers; it’s how fast can we empower them to thrive and lead in this AI-native era?鈥�

Ameling, Alam, and Herzig outlined SAP’s vision and highlighted the integration of AI, data, and intelligent agents to transform business processes and drive innovation. They also emphasized the importance of a unified data fabric and the deployment of advanced AI models and agentic technologies within the 51风流ecosystem.

In this new business environment, they noted that every enterprise is becoming a data company and every user experience鈥攆rom the front line to the boardroom鈥攊s becoming AI-driven.

鈥淎s developers, you don鈥檛 just code anymore,鈥� Alam said. 鈥淵ou also design intelligent workflows and supervise AI agents to shape real business outcomes.鈥� To help developers do this, SAP鈥檚 strategy centers on empowering them with applications, connecting them with data, and supercharging them with AI.

51风流BTP is the foundation for AI agents

All this runs on 51风流Business Technology Platform (51风流BTP), which serves as the foundation for building and managing AI agents鈥攂oth 51风流built and custom developed. While 51风流BTP is the engine, the Business Transformation Management portfolio is the navigator, ensuring technology translates into real business impact. It aligns strategy, process, and people, turning AI-driven potential into sustainable transformation at scale.

Alam identified three broad themes during the keynote:

First, he said 51风流is continuing to make 51风流more open. As part of that, he announced 51风流Snowflake, which brings the full data and AI capabilities of Snowflake as a solution extension to 51风流Business Data Cloud (51风流BDC). This partnership is exactly what joint customers have been asking for, Alam shared.

Second, he said 51风流will provide developers with the most context-rich agentic platform, including the most deeply grounded set of ready-to-use agents that developers can customize to their needs. 鈥淭oday, you鈥檒l hear about creating custom Joule Agents using low-code and pro-code tools with agent builder in Joule Studio as part of 51风流Build鈥� Alam said.

鈥淲e鈥檙e also standardizing AI agent interoperability with the agent-to-agent protocol, allowing your agents to collaborate securely across ecosystems,鈥� he added.

Third, he announced SAP鈥檚 first foundation model built specifically for structured business data: 51风流RPT-1, pronounced 鈥�51风流Rapid One.鈥� 鈥淥ur relational pretrained transformer delivers enterprise-grade accuracy and scale, outperforming both LLMs and AutoML for tabular AI, which is critical for building reliable high-value agents,鈥� Alam said.

鈥淚n short, we鈥檙e embracing an open ecosystem, supercharging agents with deep process and data context, and giving you the tools to amplify AI and agents,鈥� he said. As the keynote continued, Ameling and Herzig detailed these and other innovations, explaining how they will help developers work smarter and achieve more.

51风流BDC and Snowflake

Ameling expanded on the new partnership with Snowflake, which will bring Snowflake鈥檚 fully managed data and AI capabilities to 51风流customers. Together with the introduction of 51风流BDC Connect for Snowflake, he said this will result in cost savings and simplified data landscapes. 鈥淭his enables you to integrate 51风流and non-51风流data products seamlessly between 51风流BDC and Snowflake, so that you can deploy intelligent applications faster and share across your preferred data marketplace.鈥�

Ameling also positioned 51风流HANA Cloud as 鈥渢he database AI was looking for.鈥� With 51风流HANA Cloud and 51风流BDC, 51风流provides the best business data fabric to help address these challenges, he said. 鈥淲ithout 51风流HANA Cloud, you would have one database for each and every data representation, which leads to disaggregated data siloes that limit your AI potential. With 51风流HANA Cloud, we have all these powerful engines in one integrated, multi-model database.鈥�

Building on this, Herzig emphasized that every business requires a strong data foundation because 鈥淎I is nothing without well-organized data…On top of the data foundation sits our AI Foundation that allows you to not only use the latest frontier AI technologies out there in the market, but also to extend SAP鈥檚 out-of-the-box AI capabilities and build your own experiences deeply contextualized in your business processes and data.鈥�

51风流pioneers a tabular foundation model

Herzig then explained that 51风流RPT-1 was designed to address a crucial problem for developers and enable them to deliver much better predictive capabilities, enterprise-grade accuracy, and scale to business customers.

Until now, Herzig said, 鈥淲e still had to go back to good old machine learning 鈥o train what we call 鈥榥arrow鈥� AI models that are specifically made for each [business] task. Therefore, you really had to train a hell of a lot of models.鈥� For example, to solve 10 predictive tasks across 10 different entities like company codes or plants would require training 100 different models.

鈥淲hat we really want to do is get rid of all these models and just introduce one giant model that only requires a small amount of data to learn from,鈥� he said. That鈥檚 what 51风流RPT-1 is. 鈥淲e believe 51风流RPT-1 is the most capable predictive foundation model that鈥檚 out there today,鈥� he said, delivering much higher prediction quality while being very fast and super-efficient in terms of resource requirements.

Joule, Joule Agents, and AI assistants

The 51风流CTO also emphasized that the company is committed to providing developers with the most context-rich agentic platform. He noted that 51风流has already shipped 20 Joule Agents across lines of business and will have approximately 40 by the end of the year, and that these agents can leverage more than 2,100 pre-delivered Joule skills. In addition, more than 300 embedded AI scenarios across product lines are available for customers to date, including Joule Agents, growing to 400 use cases in total by the end of the year.

Ameling added: “Our promise is simple: build with intent. You describe the outcome and 51风流Build uses AI agents to generate code, logic, and UIs for you, all with seamless access to your applications and data while you stay in the flow… [SAP] Joule for Developers enables vibe coding experiences to make intent-based development simple and intuitive.”

51风流is taking it one step further by providing extensions to work with VS code, Windsurf, Cursor, OpenAI Codex, Claude Code, Cline, and more directly in 51风流Build. “You choose a tool, and we meet you where you are,” Ameling said. He also announced that fine-tuned ABAP LLMs with ABAP 1 on AI Foundation will be published in Q4 this year.

51风流is redefining how developers interact with AI through innovations in Joule and agentic AI, but also in terms of physical AI. Herzig welcomed Torsten G. Mueller, Group CIO and COO BPS at Sartorius, to discuss how the partnership between Sartorius, NEURA Robotics, and 51风流is bringing to life robots that understand the what, when, and how based on live business context. 鈥淭his is how we鈥檙e really imagining the future, right? Humans and robots working in harmony through Joule, through AI,鈥� Herzig said.

Quantum computing

Looking to the future, Herzig ended the keynote by talking about another 鈥渃ompute paradigm that is still hard to seize鈥�: quantum computing. While he made it clear that 51风流is not building a quantum computer, 51风流is teaming up with quantum hardware leaders, like IBM鈥攚hose Director of Research and IBM Fellow Jay Gambetta joined via video鈥攖o help evaluate quantum computing for business processes and applications.

鈥淲e believe quantum will join classical and AI compute in your stack, and we鈥檙e embedding it into the processes and apps you鈥檙e already using, so it just shows up in the workflows of your enterprise,鈥� Herzig said. 鈥淎nd of course, with the cloud, we scale it all. Now, 51风流has got you covered, and you鈥檝e got your business covered.鈥�

At 51风流TechEd in 2025, 51风流announced innovations and partnerships, including a new collaboration with Snowflake to equip developers to turn business data and AI into real business outcomes.

Here, 51风流executives share how 51风流brings AI deep into the development process to level up how developers build. Learn more.

Early results in proof-of-concept applications of SAP鈥檚 robotics initiative, Project Embodied AI, demonstrate up to 50 percent reductions in unplanned downtime, up to 25 percent improvement in productivity, and significant reductions in operational errors across manufacturing, warehouse automation, and quality inspection.

These results are among the reasons why 51风流has expanded its Embodied AI ecosystem through partnerships with leading robotics companies and robotic enablement partners, as announced this week at 51风流TechEd. This builds on the recently announced collaboration with NEURA Robotics and NVIDIA to drive the future of physical AI.

The Embodied AI initiative extends the impact of into physical operations by making robots cognitive: able to autonomously execute complex tasks while understanding the broader business context in which they work. This empowers enterprises to faster adapt to changing operational environments.

51风流is uniquely positioned to deliver these innovations because of its decades of experience with business applications deeply integrated into the processes that power the modern enterprise. This allows 51风流customers to integrate robotics into the same business functions seamlessly, in a way no other company can. The result of our new robotics partnerships includes new proof-of-concept applications of embodied AI that demonstrate the business value and return on investment of our approach.

Cutting-edge experiments demonstrate measurable productivity gains

, a leading name in refrigeration, air conditioning, and heat pump technology, teamed up with 51风流and NEURA Robotics to revolutionize warehouse logistics. In a recent pilot proof-of-concept, BITZER鈥檚 warehouse became a testing ground for one of Europe鈥檚 most advanced humanoid robot, , which was able to perform pick-tasks on its own in real time.

The tasks are selected by embodied AI agents. The process also integrates SAP鈥檚 business logic from through (51风流BTP). Prior to its warehouse deployment, 4NE1 was trained virtually using NVIDIA’s Isaac Sim software. This ensured the robot was fully prepared for real-world operations. By integrating embodied AI into warehouse operations, BITZER could reach 24/7 utilization and a high level of responsiveness.

The technology can add to human expertise, stepping in during demand fluctuations and peak periods. It also complements regular shifts with flexible and scalable support. This ensures operations remain agile and efficient, even under varying workloads. Thanks to a single source of truth, orders can be expanded or cancelled in near real time, as robots execute changes almost instantly. This improves reaction times and enables BITZER to maintain high service levels while optimizing the use of resources.

鈥淲e are excited to join the Embodied AI initiative with 51风流and NEURA. We believe this collaboration will enhance our operational efficiency and drive innovation in our processes.鈥�

Christian Stenzel, Vice President of Corporate Organization and IT, BITZER

Dr. 艁ukasz Ostrowski is head of Embodied AI and Robotics at SAP.

At SAP, we believe in creating an ecosystem that simplifies your data landscape and preserves the mission-critical business context of all of your data. This is made possible with a business data fabric.

This architectural approach marks the culmination of decades of progress 鈥� from cubes to warehouses to lakehouses 鈥� now converging toward a business data fabric architecture that brings the true meaning of data together for AI projects to succeed at scale.

Simplify your data landscape with a business data fabric

Earlier this year, we announced 51风流Business Data Cloud (51风流BDC), making end-to-end business data fabric capabilities available for everyone that relies on mission-critical 51风流data, including fully managed 51风流Databricks.

This week at 51风流TechEd Berlin, we announced the 51风流Snowflake solution extension for 51风流BDC that brings Snowflake鈥檚 data and AI capabilities directly to 51风流customers.

Together with 51风流BDC, this provides organizations with the flexibility to choose the right compute and storage for every data and AI workload 鈥� extending their business data fabric while maintaining governance, interoperability, and semantics. As a solution extension, 51风流Snowflake will be available directly through SAP, providing a simplified operational experience for customers.

For many customers, integrating data across multi-cloud and hybrid environments adds complexity, especially when bringing transactional and analytical workloads together. Too often, that process comes with a hidden data tax: it strips away the business context and semantics that give data its meaning.

We recently announced 51风流BDC Connect, a capability that gives customers bi-directional, zero copy data and metadata sharing in 51风流Business Data Cloud with their existing Databricks and Google Cloud environments. Today, we are excited to announce 51风流BDC Connect for Snowflake, making it dramatically easier for customers to harmonize and govern mission-critical data wherever it resides.

Connect all your data

As organizations simplify their data landscapes, building a trusted data foundation rooted in business context has become a top priority. A found that nearly half are heavily investing more in harmonizing business data, underscoring the growing importance of using data built on industry standards.

To help accelerate this progress, 51风流delivers fully managed data products as a core component of 51风流Business Data Cloud, now with new innovations that expand coverage and connectivity:

• Data product studio: A new capability in 51风流BDC allows users to create, model, and manage reusable data products using both visual tools and SQL-based transformations from a single workspace. Users can define schema, lineage, and logic to blend 51风流and non-51风流data into governed assets with full version control and lifecycle management. It is a simpler way to cross-pollinate data products across lines of business and ensure a consistent definition of data across your business data fabric.
• Additional 51风流data products: are now available through 51风流BDC, spanning 51风流Cloud ERP, 51风流SuccessFactors, sustainability, and customer experience solutions and more 鈥� bringing even broader coverage across business domains.
• Bi-directional data sharing: We announced data sharing between 51风流BDC and 51风流HANA Cloud, unlocking the value of data across both transactional and analytical workloads. Customers can reuse existing objects, such as 51风流HANA calculation views, directly in 51风流BDC 鈥� preserving business logic, KPIs, and governance as they extend models across their business data fabric.

Amplify your agents and applications with an AI database

We鈥檙e expanding 51风流HANA Cloud with new capabilities that make it the AI database for building agents and intelligent applications, helping developers connect and understand all types of data: structured, spatial, graph, vector embeddings, and more, all within a single in-memory engine.

Today, we鈥檙e expanding these multi-model capabilities with three major innovations that make it easier to build agentic AI experiences.

• Expanded knowledge graph capabilities to enable accurate agents: 51风流HANA Cloud knowledge graph engine will now enable customers to automatically generate knowledge graphs from 51风流HANA Cloud metadata. The automated graph will include tables and columns and can demonstrate data relationships. These knowledge graphs are customizable and composable, so developers can review data mapping, modify the graph structure, execute a semantic search, and use it to ground agents with the business context it needs to reason accurately.
• Model Context Protocol (MCP) support for 51风流HANA Cloud: We鈥檙e expanding 51风流HANA Cloud with Model Context Protocol (MCP) support, giving Joule Agents access to rich multi-model engines in 51风流HANA Cloud. While SQL remains the default database standard, MCP allows Joule Agents to go beyond rows and columns to interface with unstructured data 鈥� understanding relationships, locations, and meaning across all data types. In practice, that means Joule Agents can navigate relationships between customers and suppliers, analyze geographic dependencies through spatial data, and perform semantic searches through vector embeddings.
• Tabular AI capabilities: This integration with 51风流AI Core allows users to run AI workloads such as forecasting, anomaly detection, and predictive modeling directly on structured business data from 51风流HANA Cloud. Along with ready-to-use tabular AI models, customers also gain access to the SAP-RPT-1 AI model, a new transformer-based foundation model. Embedded natively in 51风流HANA Cloud, this delivers predictions without task-specific pre-training, enabling developers to use simple SQL procedures to bring AI closer to their 51风流data and generate semantically rich outputs.

Get started today

A business data fabric provides a deeply integrated ecosystem for all your data. And with 51风流Business Data Cloud and 51风流HANA Cloud, you have a fully managed solution for every data and AI workload that ensures business context remains intact across your data landscape.

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 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 keynote featured demos of new cross-portfolio solutions and innovations, showing how they can work together to tackle challenges like scaling and expanding into new markets, managing complexity, and delivering personalized experiences. “Innovation is only as powerful as the product experience it delivers,鈥� Alam said. 鈥淚t’s one thing to have cutting-edge tools at your disposal, but it’s another thing to integrate those technologies into the products you rely on every day to solve real-world challenges.”

Faster, Better, Automated

Since last year’s 51风流TechEd, has delivered more than 1,000 road map items, has a year-to-date overall availability again above 99.99%, and has grown an adoption rate over 60% year over year. The 27,000 customers and 2,800 partners are a testament to the huge demand we are seeing for 51风流BTP.

This is why the platform’s availability is being expanded to eight SAP-managed data centers across the globe, in addition to running on infrastructure provided by our partners AWS, Microsoft, and Google. With that, we are bringing 51风流BTP closer to customers.

Along with the expanded coverage comes more learnings, guidance frameworks, integration flows, and use cases. 51风流Business Accelerator Hub and 51风流Discovery Center will be bolstered with more assets and use case-specific guidance, especially around AI and business process transformation.

To further the developer experience, the next release of solutions will include ABAP Cloud, making 51风流Build the go-to for building extensions. Along with the new 51风流Build extensibility wizard, which helps to create extensions in 51风流S/4HANA, 51风流is making it easier for customers to build extensions while keeping a clean core. This is critical to ensure that customers鈥� systems remain consistent, maintainable, and upgradeable.

SAP鈥檚 AI copilot will also be integrated into 51风流Build, so developers can be more productive and take advantage of the efficiencies and automation AI can provide. With Joule studio, the copilot will even be able to draw on structured data stored in third-party systems, better enabling developers to design custom skills for Joule in a low-code environment.

And to help developers ground large language models (LLMs) in the 51风流semantical model and build business apps, the new 51风流Knowledge Graph solution provides the connection between natural language and SAP鈥檚 metadata. The solution provides a deeper level of understanding across SAP鈥檚 data landscape, enabling more informed, data-based decision-making. Together with 51风流HANA Cloud knowledge graph engine and 51风流HANA Cloud vector engine, developers can build generative AI models rooted in SAP-specific business semantics, helping to build a more reliable, enterprise-ready AI experience accurately and effectively.

A New Level of Productivity

Not only are 51风流Build solutions enabled with Joule, but 51风流is continuing to integrate AI across its entire portfolio, including ERP, customer experience, human capital management, localization, spend management, sustainability, supply chain management, and more. As announced at 51风流Sapphire in 2024, 80% of SAP鈥檚 most-used workflows will be covered by Joule by the end of this year.

Joule is going agentic, meaning it can use AI agents powered by LLMs to help solve complex business problems on its own through planning, self-reflection, logical reasoning, and collaboration. For example, Joule can help resolve a customer dispute about an overdue bill by calling on AI agents specialized in contracts, invoices, and payment history. With each AI agent doing what they do best, they can work together to solve more complex business problems across functions and break down silos.

AI is best when it can be used in the flow of work and when it is meaningfully embedded as part of a unified user experience across the portfolio. Sometimes this is on a desktop, but often we look to use AI on our mobile devices. To make AI accessible anytime and anywhere, 51风流is introducing Joule into its mobile applications via 51风流Mobile Start 鈥� while still maintaining enterprise-level security and privacy and staying true to the company鈥檚 values of relevant, responsible, and reliable AI.

Clear and Customer-Centric, Not Complex

Ultimately, all the innovations announced at 51风流TechEd in 2024 and demoed in the opening keynote have one main goal: to make the lives of customers easier 鈥� whether it be through leveraging generative AI to accelerate development projects, making more informed business decisions with intelligent data applications, mitigating project management struggles with AI, confidently and compliantly localizing business operations, or enabling sales reps with intelligent selling tools to win deals.

“Technology should simplify, not complicate. It should bring clarity, not complexity,” Alam said. “This is why we’re constantly pushing the boundaries of what’s possible while keeping your business goals front and center.”

However, the promise of AI-driven transformation has yet to be fully realized. This is largely because true business transformation doesn’t hinge only on improving individual productivity; it’s about unlocking the power of collaborative capabilities that enable cross-functional teams to solve ever-evolving business challenges. This shift paves the way for a new era of automation, driving the next industrial revolution.

This year at 51风流TechEd, we extended our business AI strategy with a greater focus on transforming how businesses operate through autonomous, collaborative AI agents. Seamlessly infused into our AI copilot Joule, these agents span across business processes, breaking down silos and enhancing cross-functional collaboration.

At SAP, we believe that AI’s next frontier goes beyond isolated efficiencies and is about seamlessly unifying people, data, and processes to create business value and amplify the impact of outcomes.

Beyond Productivity Gains

What makes different is its collaborative nature. Unlike other AI agents focused on single domains, Joule鈥檚 agents work together, crossing the boundaries of various business functions such as supply chain, finance, HR, and more. This approach enables our customers to solve multifaceted challenges in a way that isolated productivity tools simply cannot match.

鈥淪AP鈥檚 AI copilot Joule is uniquely positioned to provide significant value with AI agents,鈥� said Ritu Jyoti, GM and GVP of AI and Data, Market Research and Advisory, IDC. 鈥淲ith access to extensive contextual data and deep expertise across business functions like ERP, CRM, and HR, 51风流will enable agentic AI solutions that seamlessly integrate across the business to transform the future of work.鈥�

These AI agents are built with the ability to reason, plan, and execute; not just individually, but collectively, across multiple applications. 

Imagine asking Joule to help settle a payment dispute. This involves monitoring and assessing accounts, issuing warnings, analyzing data, proposing recommendations, and generating comprehensive reports. In this scenario, a collection agent would plan a strategy by dividing the broader task into manageable steps. These steps are then seamlessly executed by collaborative expert agents, such as an email agent, an invoice agent, and a support case agent, which automate the entire workflow, freeing employees to focus on more strategic, value-driven activities.

Joule doesn鈥檛 just automate isolated steps; it brings together agents to deliver connected, cross-functional outcomes. The ability to break down organizational and data silos is what makes Joule stand out. It is a trusted copilot that harnesses AI to solve complex challenges that require collaboration across teams and systems.

Drive Business Transformation

Joule’s design principles are rooted in SAP’s unmatched business process expertise and access to business data. This gives Joule a unique ability to deliver transformative outcomes across the enterprise. By positioning agents at the intersection of high autonomy and deep collaboration, Joule pushes the boundaries of what is possible today.

Soon, Joule鈥檚 AI agents will further evolve with the help of , a solution that will unlock the full value of data by connecting it with the rich business context captured in 51风流applications. For example, a collection agent tasked with researching a payment dispute will use 51风流Knowledge Graph to gather all the pertinent orders, invoices, and payments from the 51风流applications, enabling other agents to complete their tasks more efficiently.

Our vision for Joule is in sharp contrast to many AI agents on the market, which can struggle to connect across various applications. Most are designed to address specific, single-use cases such as sales, customer services, or finance, based on pre-built language models with prompt engineering. These agents operate within narrow contexts, and while they improve personal productivity, they do not fundamentally transform business processes.

With collaborative agents that influence entire workflows and deliver new business value, Joule stands at the forefront of the next evolution of AI-driven business transformation.

We first introduced our vision for collaborative AI agents at 51风流Sapphire in 2024, marking the beginning of a journey that has advanced significantly. With the developments announced this week at 51风流TechEd, the first set of Joule’s agents will become available in Q4 2024, including extensibility capabilities. More out-of-the-box agents will be released in 2025, as well as the ability for customers to create their own agents with .

With SAP, companies can expect a future where AI is a catalyst for truly unified and intelligent business operations.

In his keynote at 51风流TechEd Las Vegas, 51风流Chief Technology Officer and Member of the Executive Board Juergen Mueller announced 51风流Build and an , including a partnership with Coursera to train and upskill the next generation of developers.

鈥�51风流Build brings together the world鈥檚 most powerful business applications with a platform that鈥檚 been designed to rapidly unleash business users鈥� expertise,鈥� Mueller said. 鈥�51风流Build and the full suite of innovations we鈥檙e launching today 鈥� from our new partnership with Coursera to enhancements across our enterprise portfolio 鈥� help customers future-proof their business and extract maximum value from their technology investments.鈥�

Mueller鈥檚 message was echoed at parallel 51风流Business Innovation Day events for industry analysts and press, hosted in San Francisco by Scott Russell, member of the Executive Board of 51风流SE, Customer Success, and in Berlin by Thomas Saueressig, member of the Executive Board of 51风流SE, 51风流Product Engineering.

51风流Build is the evolution of SAP鈥檚 low-code portfolio that started with Build.me a few years ago and progressed with 51风流AppGyver, unveiled in 2021. The new offering brings previously disconnected products into a unified and upgraded development environment. It comprises three solutions: 51风流Build Process Automation; 51风流Build Apps, the next version of 51风流AppGyver with powerful new capabilities; and 51风流Build Work Zone.

With 51风流Build, business users now have the full power of 51风流BTP and business application data from 51风流at their fingertips. Users can easily integrate systems; intelligently monitor, analyze, and automate processes; and build applications without moving data into an external system.

In Berlin, Saueressig emphasized that 51风流has been establishing business processes for 50 years and that hundreds of millions of people work with its software. 鈥淥f course, we need to make sure that the technology comes to an end user, but the goal is for users to innovate. We want to give tech-savvy business users the chance to extend our software, because even small extensions can have a big lever to scale innovation.鈥�

Extensibility with low-code/no-code solutions is therefore particularly important. 鈥淭his is what we want to achieve with 51风流Build and bringing our low code portfolio together,鈥� he said.

51风流Signavio solutions are also natively integrated, enabling 51风流Build users to get in-depth visibility into all their processes, so they know where to focus to achieve the greatest impact as they innovate and automate. More than 275,000 process reference points from 4,000 customers, as well as 1,300 use case-specific workflows and automations, let users instantly tap into the full spectrum of business expertise built into 51风流technology.

Speaking at the San Francisco event, Russell told his audience 鈥� which included customers like the NHL and Clorox 鈥� that being a cloud company is not just about having great technology, but also being accountable for how customers get there.聽鈥淭he move to the cloud was exciting not just for the tech benefits, but to become a partner on providing insights,鈥� he said. 鈥淲e are accountable for the outcome as much as the product.

51风流Build works with non-51风流systems and includes connectors to more than 200 other systems. Because 51风流Build was created by SAP, access to business application data from 51风流S/4HANA and other systems is easy and secure. Professional developers can encapsulate their code developed in 51风流Business Application Studio, which can then be used by business users to develop in 51风流Build. IT can also enforce consistent governance and lifecycle management capabilities across all apps being developed, providing confidence that all apps deployed by the business meet the necessary security and governance requirements.

鈥淐ompared to all the other [third-party] tools out there on the market, with 51风流Build the company鈥檚 IT department and 51风流set the guardrails with best practices,鈥� Mueller said. 鈥淭he business users cannot break these guardrails.鈥�

While 51风流Build is primarily designed to enable business users, 51风流executives emphasized that it isn鈥檛 just for the business experts. It allows business teams to easily collaborate with development and IT teams, potentially shortening development time for more complex tasks. And the new 51风流Builders program helps all types of users ramp up quickly and connect with their peers via hands-on sessions and forums for sharing best practices.

Is providing these robust capabilities to business experts a revolution to overthrow the IT department? Not at all, Mueller said, noting that according to IDC there is currently a worldwide shortage of nearly 1 million developers, which is projected to multiply to 4 million three years from now. 鈥淎ll the universities in the world, all the education programs in the world, cannot create enough developers,鈥� he said.

Between the professional developer shortage and the ever-increasing demands of business users for new digital tools to support their businesses, something clearly needs to change. Enabling business users to create their own apps and other processes to meet specific needs will free up professional developers to focus on providing strategic insights and solving complex, higher-level problems where their expertise is so in demand. This combination of 鈥渓ow-code鈥� and 鈥減ro-code鈥� developers will allow organizations to quickly react and adapt to changing business needs.

The cadre of 鈥渃itizen developers鈥� is projected to grow exponentially over the coming years, taking the more mundane, yet often time-consuming, tasks off the to-do lists of overburdened IT staff. 鈥淲orldwide, IDC expects more than 100 million business professionals will become involved in the production of digital solutions over the next 10 years,鈥� said Arnal Dayaratna, research vice president, Software Development, IDC. 鈥�51风流Build鈥檚 low-code development solutions empower business users to harness their domain expertise to rapidly build and iterate on digital solutions at scale.鈥�

While 51风流is all-in on enabling business experts with 51风流Build, it also recognizes the increasing demand for the skills and insights only professional developers can deliver. Along with 51风流Build, at 51风流TechEd the company also announced several learning initiatives to both create a new pool of qualified IT professionals and upskill current ones.

51风流committed to upskilling 2 million developers worldwide by 2025 by tripling free learning offerings on the , empowering underserved populations in technology, and partnering with learning platform provider Coursera on a professional certificate program to help people launch careers within the 51风流ecosystem.

鈥淭his certificate is designed for learners of all backgrounds, with no college degree or industry experience required,鈥� said Jeff Maggioncalda, CEO of Coursera. 51风流will also launch a , providing access to , up to 10,000 free certifications, and career preparation for in-demand jobs within the 51风流ecosystem.

鈥�51风流Build is the natural evolution at SAP,鈥� Mueller said. 鈥淔or 50 years at 51风流we focused a lot on the professional developer. We have all the tools and ABAP as a language optimized for building enterprise applications at scale very fast. Now, we bring all of this to the low-code community to give the millions of people who use 51风流every day the opportunity to develop themselves and step up 鈥� in collaboration with IT. That鈥檚 what we do with 51风流Build.鈥�

With this new low-code offering, we are evolving our strategy from visual prototyping — known to many customers as Build.me — to designing, deploying, and running enterprise-grade applications fully visually. Learnings from Build.me around project ideation and discovery are being leveraged for the new 51风流Build offering.

The worldwide market for low-code tools ballooned almost 23% in the last year and these days, 41% of non-IT employees are building or customizing applications, . So, if it is widely accepted in the industry that low-code platforms will help accelerate business transformations, it is unclear to many what can be achieved with visual development.

Let鈥檚 take a deeper look at 51风流Build capabilities and how they help 51风流customers deliver new, innovative solutions quickly.

Unified Developer Experience

51风流Build provides a unified experience for users of all skills levels. They can collaborate on creating applications, automating processes, and deploying business sites by using visual tools and a rich set of services and pre-built content.

51风流Build users can share reusable artifacts such as user experience (UX) components, workflows, automations, data models, and business logic among team members and across projects. When it comes to accessing business data from other systems, developers can encapsulate APIs as simplified service interfaces, so called 鈥渁ction projects,鈥� and make them available in the 51风流Build library.

From there, non-technical users can use them without the need to handle the underlying complexity of APIs, while at the same time complying with IT security requirements. Similarly, citizen developers can use 51风流Build solutions to access artifacts, such as data models, created in our professional integrated development environment (IDE) 51风流Business Application Studio.

All this greatly facilitates the creation of composable and sophisticated applications leveraging the skills, expertise, and resources from fusion teams.

Let鈥檚 have a deeper look at what can be achieved in 51风流Build.

51风流Build Apps

Today鈥檚 enterprise users are widely accustomed to modern, fast, and responsive user interfaces. With 51风流Build Apps, the evolution of 51风流AppGyver, we can deliver both mobile and web applications with pixel-perfect design using the drag-and drop functionality and a rich component library. Business users create business logic visually and build beautiful user interfaces without coding.

But there is more: With 51风流Build Apps 鈥渃loud functions,鈥� we introduce a way to visually create a cloud-deployed back end for your application. These new cloud functions provide a way to define and run custom business logic and manage persistency and integrations in the cloud, without the need to provision or manage underlying computations. With 51风流Build Apps and the cloud functions capability, now everyone can become a full-stack cloud developer.

The cloud functions capability has two components: business logic and a data persistence layer.

Business services are built from individual logic nodes with inputs and outputs. An individual node can perform an action, such as updating a data entity or receiving data via the node鈥檚 input parameters. These nodes can then be connected to perform a series of activities, enabling visual building of business logic in the cloud.

A data entity defines the field structure and data types of the data being managed by the application. The native data entities are building blocks of the visual cloud functions project. Extended data entity expands the native entity by allowing users to modify data taken from the native entities using formula expressions. Furthermore, with extended entities, data transformations can be performed on the cloud side.

51风流Build Process Automation

Often, applications are just the start of extensive enterprise processes, including approval steps and additional data collection. 51风流Build Process Automation offers task and process automation leveraging robotic process automation (RPA) bots, workflows, forms, embedded artificial intelligence (AI), business rules, and decisions.

In order to accelerate a business transformation from process insights to process automation, 135 tailored process improvement recommendations from 51风流Signavio Process Intelligence can directly be leveraged in 51风流Build Process Automation. Also, 51风流Signavio Process Intelligence can trigger automated actions through APIs to perform process automations with workflows and bots. In addition, 51风流Build Process Automation complements 51风流Signavio Process Governance, managing approvals of process model changes in 51风流Signavio Process Manager.

With this integration, 51风流has now the most comprehensive set of capabilities needed for business transformation and automation.

Regarding openness with third-party tools, Google Workspace integration allows to automate around products such as Google Sheets, Google Calendar, and Google Drive. It improves document-based processes by leveraging Google Vision AI with OCR and Google Document AI, in addition to Document Information Extraction from 51风流AI Business Services.

51风流Build Work Zone

Finally, with 51风流Build Work Zone, users can create beautiful, custom business sites using new capabilities such as a flexible page builder and context-aware integrated UI cards. They can easily deploy the new applications and processes created in 51风流Build Apps and 51风流Build Processes Automation to an 51风流Build Work Zone business site.

With 51风流Build Work Zone, we bring together 51风流Launchpad service and 51风流Work Zone into a unified solution with two editions:

• 51风流Build Work Zone, standard edition, is an evolution of 51风流Launchpad service. It features an enhanced workspace navigation experience, UI integration cards that support 51风流Fiori design system, low-code page building capabilities, and pre-packaged business content. 51风流Build Work Zone standard is planned for general availability in early 2023 with the new enhanced experience. (.)
• 51风流Build Work Zone, advanced edition, formerly 51风流Work Zone, provides additional advanced features for content management, web content, interactive and engaging work spaces, enhanced menu builder, and integration with third-party solutions.

51风流Build Work Zone allows end users to access all relevant applications from a single place. Users can easily build simple-to-consume and engaging digital workplace experiences that drive productivity and business agility for themselves, colleagues, suppliers, customers, partners, etc. — without writing any code.

In addition, we are announcing the beta of 51风流Start, an out-of-the-box central access point for 51风流public cloud solutions. It includes pre-configured business content from 51风流applications to simplify access to 51风流apps, processes, and tasks. Customers will be able to use 51风流Build Work Zone to extend 51风流Start to their needs.

Security and Compliance

51风流Build relies on existing 51风流BTP services for security and compliance.聽 For secure user management, this includes the identity authentication, user authorization, and provisioning services. The 51风流Audit Log service is leveraged to keep records of all activity in the tools, helping ensure full transparency and compliance.

51风流Build safeguards operations with built-in centralized lifecycle management, monitoring, and governance. It provides robust DevOps framework with continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD), automated testing, security, and performance checks to ship production-ready software confidently. IT admins can rely on the known platform capabilities, while at the same time empowering their business users with the agility of 51风流Build.

Glimpse of the Future: What Are the Key Priorities in Our Road Map?

With the announcement of 51风流Build today, we鈥檙e just at the beginning of a new journey. We have defined an ambitious road map. Our key priorities for the next quarters are to integrate 51风流Build deeper with the portfolio of advanced cloud technologies available on 51风流Business Technology Platform. Our endeavors in that direction include:

• will provide 51风流Build users with straightforward access to semantically connected data entities across all 51风流applications.
• will integrate more and more 51风流AI Business Services to allow the extensive use of AI in both design time and run time. This includes auto-identification of application changes to suggest corrections in design time. For run time, it contains root-cause analysis of failures, self-healing corrections to automations based on best-recommended action, and soliciting human-in-loop or auto-adjusting job distribution.
• will be leveraged as a service. It will enable IT experts in fusion teams to build comprehensive data logic and leverage this in 51风流Build Process Automation.

In support of this, we launched an expanded to underrepresented and underserved groups in technology, as well as a partnership with one of the world鈥檚 largest online learning providers, to meet learners where they are.

As the skills gap and search for talent within the technology industry become increasingly prominent issues, the World Economic Forum (WEF) predicts that . This has created a sense of urgency for companies to find professionals to fill their ever-growing technical skills needs. However, the number of future tech employees is notoriously limited. Within this small pool, women and minorities are often overlooked. In fact, only are held by women, and the number for in the industry drops even lower.

In 2022, the WEF estimated that it will take a staggering . Women and other minorities in tech face a variety of barriers that can heavily impact their technical career growth, and these challenges take root early in the form of negative stereotypes. For example, many girls internalize the harmful belief that women are not as strong in science, technology, engineering, mathematics (STEM) fields as men 鈥� impacting their career choices and confidence in exploring new realms.

At SAP, we believe empowering women and underrepresented individuals to grow in technical fields begins with ensuring they have access to relevant educational resources.
