“With a currency-adjusted growth of the current cloud backlog of 25 percent and an increase in cloud revenues of 27 percent, we started the new year strongly. This result is primarily driven by the high momentum in the area of enterprise AI, in which we are already offering our customers noticeable added value. We are growing significantly faster than the market, are continuing to expand our market shares and are seeing how customers are increasingly using additional solutions from our suite and increasingly our AI offerings. At SAP Sapphire we present the next important step.”

“We have made a solid start to the year, supported by the consistent and disciplined implementation of our sales and profitability strategy. In an increasingly complex and uncertain macroeconomic and geopolitical environment, we have continued to consistently focus on cost control and ensuring sustainable profitability.”
