Artificial intelligence (AI) – generative AI particularly – is changing the way business processes can be designed and optimized. By embedding AI in business applications, users can experience immediate value in their day-to-day work. For implementing AI across processes and applications and for Âé¶¹Ô´´ Business AI overall, Âé¶¹Ô´´ Business Technology Platform (Âé¶¹Ô´´ BTP) plays a critical role.
Across processes and applications, Âé¶¹Ô´´ BTP helps improve operational efficiency, enhance the customer experience, and drive innovation. The latest offers a preview of what the future holds for our customers and partners.
Âé¶¹Ô´´ BTP already offers features such as code generation, application logic, data models, and test scripts, enabling businesses to modernize their IT landscapes, streamline their processes, and make more informed decisions through a consistent data foundation. As we continue to embed generative AI across the platform toolbox, Âé¶¹Ô´´ BTP is the trusted business AI platform for Âé¶¹Ô´´-centric landscapes.
Here are some highlights:
- Joule, our AI copilot, will see increasing adoption across Âé¶¹Ô´´ BTP to help provide information and data, give intelligent recommendations, and execute tasks based on natural language interactions. Looking forward, we will extend Joule to empower customers to build their own generative AI agents and skills.Â
- We aim to enhance all Âé¶¹Ô´´ BTP services by incorporating additional AI functionalities. Beyond generating code and application logic such as with , , and Âé¶¹Ô´´ BTP for the , this will include managing processes and business rules (), handling integration mappings and flows (), and creating analytical charts and stories ().Ìý
- Âé¶¹Ô´´ HANA Cloud vector engine and the knowledge graph in Âé¶¹Ô´´ Datasphere will help enable customers to better contextualize their input to large language models (LLMs) to achieve high-precision results.
- The set of AI partner offerings accessible in the generative AI hub in Âé¶¹Ô´´ AI Core, which is part of Âé¶¹Ô´´ BTP, will continue to grow. Customers will soon be able to use them in the context of their business process directly.Â
- Âé¶¹Ô´´ BTP Cockpit will also include more generative AI capabilities that can simplify the experience around day-to-day administration tasks.
Âé¶¹Ô´´ BTP is our secure and reliable engine that helps drive business innovation in organizations. And we will make it available to even more customers in the future: Âé¶¹Ô´´ recently announced a substantial expansion of regional Âé¶¹Ô´´ BTP availability by the end of 2025.
By ensuring access to Âé¶¹Ô´´ BTP in more locations via new data centers, we are empowering more customers and partners around the globe to modernize IT landscapes, streamline business processes, and utilize data for better decision-making.
