SAPPHIRE Orlando is a wrap and what an amazing event it has been! The highlight for me was seeing over 1,000 agents built at the Agent Lab where attendees got hands on with the new Joule Studio.
On day 1, Christian Klein and SAP executive leaders took center stage to unveil SAP’s vision for the Autonomous Enterprise, the next evolution of how businesses operate, where AI transforms how people work and how processes run in the new age of AI.
The Autonomous Enterprise brings together four things working in unison:
- Joule Work as the new engagement layer, bringing together the right data, workflows, and agents across SAP systems and beyond.
- SAP Autonomous Suite to reinvent how enterprises run, based on AI assistants and agents executing work across all domains, including Autonomous Finance, Spend, SCM, HCM and CX.
- Industry AI applications with built-in vertical process knowledge, data models, and regulatory logic.
- SAP Business AI Platform as the foundation that combines context, unified business data, and purpose-built models with enterprise governance.
By bringing together components SAP has been building and refining over the past years, it means a significant share of the tools and capabilities our customers need to move toward becoming an Autonomous Enterprise are already available today.
The promise of Agentic AI that delivers end-to-end enterprise value requires a unified agentic platform that supports the entire enterprise. That’s the SAP Business AI Platform.
The SAP Business AI Platform brings together SAP’s AI, data, process, and governance capabilities under a single platform. It is the place to build and scale agentic AI for your business and it is organized around three capability pillars:
Build, one environment for building, extending, integrating and connecting, and running AI agents, apps and workflows, grounded in business context.
Contextualize & Reason, which gives those agents the operational intelligence to act accurately.
Govern to ensure every application, agent, model, and initiative stays aligned to the outcomes the business is here to deliver.
Under the Build pillar, the new Joule Studio and the SAP Integration Suite work together to enable organizations to build and scale agentic AI for their business.
With the new Joule Studio, teams can build their way using tools they already know, combining AI-First development with low-code and pro-code flexibility. It understands your business from day one and it is grounded in your data, processes, and systems so teams can move faster with confidence.
Together with SAP Integration Suite, Joule Studio connects agents, applications, processes, and data across the enterprise. With secure, reliable APIs and event-driven architectures, agents can act in real time turning AI into connected, scalable business outcomes. You can scale with confidence while fully integrating across SAP and non-SAP landscapes, eliminating operational overhead while optimizing built-in enterprise-grade governance, security, and control.
There is much more to learn about the SAP Business AI Platform, and I welcome you all to visit sap.com/platform to better understand how it provides a truly unified AI platform. You can also stay up to date on Joule Studio and learn how to access the trial once it becomes available. And I encourage everyone to watch our Integration Suite AI video to see how seamless integration enables agentic AI in action.
It was wonderful connecting with so many of you at SAPPHIRE Orlando — here's to a strong and prosperous 2026 ahead.
