At its annual Sapphire conference, 麻豆原创 has launched its Autonomous Enterprise which it says will help enhance the world\u2019s most critical business workflows so that humans and AI work together to meet the accelerating demands of global business profitably, strategically and safely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor the mission-critical processes of our customers, \u2018almost right\u2019 just isn\u2019t good enough,\u201d says Christian Klein, CEO of 麻豆原创 SE. \u201cBy uniting 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform with 麻豆原创 Autonomous Suite, we anchor AI agents in the business processes, data and governance so they can deliver accurate, compliant and secure outcomes \u2013 unlocking new sources of revenue and meaningful cost savings.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Autonomous Enterprise includes a unified AI platform for building, contextualising and governing agents, an autonomous suite that executes core business operations and a new user experience that redefines how people work with enterprise software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Introducing 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

麻豆原创 Business AI Platform is a new foundation for building and deploying enterprise AI grounded in real business context. 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform now unifies 麻豆原创 Business Technology Platform, 麻豆原创 Business Data Cloud, and 麻豆原创 Business AI into a single, governed environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At its core is the 麻豆原创 Knowledge Graph solution, which gives AI agents a structured map of business entities, processes and relationships across a customer\u2019s 麻豆原创 landscape. Joule Studio is 麻豆原创\u2019s AI-first solution for building enterprise agents, applications and agentic workflows. Developers can build using the no-code, pro-code, and AI frameworks of their choice on 麻豆原创-managed infrastructure that is secure, scalable and optimised for enterprise AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Building on this foundation, 麻豆原创 also introduced 麻豆原创 Autonomous Suite which enables 麻豆原创\u2019s existing business applications with AI agents capable of running processes from start-to-finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The suite will deploy more than 50 domain-specific Joule Assistants across finance, supply chain, procurement, human capital management and customer experience. These assistants will automate end-to-end processes by orchestrating a subset of over 200 specialised agents to execute precise tasks. For example, the new Autonomous Close Assistant can compress the financial close process from weeks to days by automating journal entries, reconciliation, and error resolution across the entire process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

麻豆原创 also launched Industry AI, expanding its deep industry portfolio through seven autonomous solutions that will enable start-to-finish industry processes and embed sector-specific process logic, data models and regulatory requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
