At a time when artificial intelligence (AI) has become a operational need from a surrounding innovation, global companies face new challenges and opportunities. The use of AI is no longer limited to niche areas or initial test applications-AI systems form the basis for corporate transformation.
Our will to innovate is the driving force behind every innovation that we get on. As the world’s leading provider of corporate software, we are well positioned to provide AI functions that are tailored to the requirements of our customers. This willingness to perform is the focus of our optimized AI strategy. We have received a partnership with NVIDIA and have integrated Nvidia Nim Microservices into our portfolio, including a newly developed microservice, which is designed to interact with a variety of large voice models (Large Language Models, LLMS). We have integrated over 100,000 models into our architecture that help our customers to use AI optimally and at the same time meet the specific requirements of their local markets and industries.
With the locally executed AI of SAP, it is ensured that AI prompts and customer data remain in the environments controlled by SAP. This means a higher level of security and better compliance with regional regulations. We focus on local provision and adaptation to Nim Microservices, and we give priority to scalability – without compromising with compliance or security.
“NVIDIA NIM-Microservices offer optimized inference performance, portability and company support for custom models. They help customers advance innovations in every phase of the AI development and provision cycle,” said Kari Briski, Vice President of the Generative AI Software for Enterprise area at NVIDIA. “With NVIDIA NIM Microservices, based on SAP Business AI, developers can accelerate the Ki introduction with local models that are carried out in a local infrastructure.”
Why need heavily regulated industries a new AI concept
Industries such as healthcare or public administration are at a crossroads. Expectations are particularly high in these areas. Here AI can help revolutionize patient care and optimize important processes. But there are also limiting factors. Laws on data sovereignty, compliance requirements and the need for transparent operational processes often bring managers in these industries into a dilemma. You have to decide to either promote innovations or to give precedence to comply with regulations. The SAP has long been known. Therefore, she has taken targeted steps to offer solutions that help to create an optimal balance.
Cooperation as a catalyst for innovation
AI for market and customer-oriented strategies
Managing directors are increasingly under pressure to implement innovations into measurable results. In order to meet these requirements, we intensified our cooperation with NVIDIA and focused on the following aspects:
- Enterprise-grade performance: Use of Nvidia Nim Microservices and selected models optimized by SAP to increase the company’s performance
- Operative flexibility: support of local introduction and seamless integration into the SAP ecosystem
- Strategic orientation: dealing with the dynamics in the field of AI sovereignty and industrial leadership role
What’s next with corporate AI?
The future of AI in corporate applications is not only exciting, but also challenging. We will continue to pay special attention to compliance with regulations, but also the flexibility requirements and the need for innovation. Our partnership with NVIDIA enables us to not only meet the requirements of our customers, but also to anticipate. We develop an infrastructure and solutions that help our customers to always be one step ahead of competitors.
