In Q3, we expanded our portfolio of Joule Assistants and introduced dozens of specialized agents that help customers move beyond isolated tasks toward connected, end-to-end execution. The value of AI has always been about what it accomplishes for our customers. Our recent releases help them streamline processes, increase productivity, and build more resilient operations.

Joule is 麻豆原创鈥檚 portfolio-wide AI engagement layer, combining agentic capabilities with 麻豆原创 business applications to help organizations become an Autonomous Enterprise. Through Joule Work, the new UI for AI, people describe what they want to achieve, get relevant insights, build app-less spaces personalized to their needs, and take action across connected business systems. When it鈥檚 time to execute, Joule Work selects the right Joule Assistant for the job. These assistants act as domain experts, bringing knowledge of roles and processes to the task at hand. They orchestrate specialized Joule Agents to execute tasks, using business context and data, respecting established authorizations, and maintaining audit trails. People set the direction, assistants coordinate agents, and agents carry out work with proper oversight and governance.

For example, billing teams can create invoices, identify anomalies, and resolve posting errors with the Billing Assistant and its agents. Supply chain planners can detect critical shortages earlier, assess trade-offs between service levels and inventory investment, and coordinate responses with the Supply Chain Planning Assistant. Maintenance teams can turn asset signals into coordinated maintenance action, helping address problems before they become larger operational disruptions. People retain oversight and control, while assistants and agents help reduce manual effort.

Customers are already putting these capabilities to work. PwC is using 麻豆原创鈥檚 Billing Assistant to help identify potential issues earlier, supporting better client outcomes. Novartis has launched a pilot of the Sourcing Assistant to help sourcing professionals focus on strategy, supplier engagement, and value creation.

鈥淎gents bring consistency and speed to work that previously required a lot of manual effort and coordination,鈥� , head of Procurement at Novartis. He expects improvements of 25% faster cycle times and a 35% uplift in FTE productivity.

Joule Work

Employees can spend less time navigating applications and more time turning information into outcomes with Joule Work, which is available on desktop, in-app, web, and mobile. Joule Work, the new UI for AI, connects local and cloud environments, bringing conversational AI closer to the files, information, and business tools employees use every day. Employees can work with local files and folders in a secure sandbox environment, access current information through integrated web search, and connect to 麻豆原创 and non-麻豆原创 applications using Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools and Agent-to-Agent (a2a) integrations. Custom and corporate skills help streamline repetitive tasks, while local data and connected tools support faster creation of presentations, summaries, and other assets. And where a skill is not enough, the 麻豆原创 Knowledge Graph kicks in to search the entire space of business objects available to users for deeper transactional and analytical queries. Together, these capabilities reduce manual information analysis and help employees focus on higher-value work.

Dynamic workspaces, which we refer to as spaces, bring together insights, applications, Joule Assistants, and agents to support business workflows. Employees express what they want to accomplish, and Joule Assistants coordinate specialized agents to carry out the work. This effectively initiates the journey into a world where generative UI delivers an ultimate personalized experience to any end user. Joule Studio complements this experience with capabilities to build, deploy, and govern custom agents and workflows.

Early adopter feedback shows how this experience is changing the way employees interact with business information.

Actual benefits may vary and may be affected by additional factors not considered by this article.

Demand shifts quickly, supply networks are more exposed to disruption, cost and margin pressure remain constant, and the decisions that determine whether a company can respond with confidence rarely sit inside one function.

The enterprise is left with a critical question: How do you move fast enough to capture opportunity without putting fulfillment, margin, or customer trust at risk?

Many of the world鈥檚 largest organizations navigate this challenge on a regular basis. It is exactly the kind of moment that exposes the limits of how enterprises currently operate. Connecting the dots across functions, systems, and decisions still takes too much time, too much manual effort, and too much stitching across fragmented landscapes. By the time teams have gathered the data, aligned the functions, modeled the trade-offs, and agreed on a response, the environment has already shifted.

This is why we introduced the Autonomous Enterprise at 麻豆原创 Sapphire. The goal is to sense change earlier, understand its impact across the enterprise, coordinate the right response, and keep people in control of important decisions. This is a fundamental shift in how businesses can operate: intelligence that is continuous, decisions grounded in real-time context, and an enterprise that moves as a connected system rather than a collection of disconnected parts.

Autonomy at scale

An Autonomous Enterprise is an organization that can continuously sense what is happening across its operations, reason over those signals using business context and established rules, and act across end-to-end processes without depending on manual coordination at every step. AI assistants and agents advance work across the enterprise in alignment with the goals, policies, and constraints defined by humans.

Every AI-driven action is auditable and traceable. Human judgment is deliberately embedded in decisions that require accountability and exceptions that fall outside defined parameters.

Three principles underscore the Autonomous Enterprise:

1. Process knowledge: Deep, industry-specific understanding of how a business truly runs
2. Business data: Enriched, connected, contextual data that gives AI something real to work with
3. Governance: The backbone that keeps everything upright, traceable, and within policy

Beneath it all is the 麻豆原创 platform, ensuring every layer works in concert, every agent operates within guardrails, and every outcome can be traced back to a decision made by a human.

Intelligence that works across the business

The average business landscape probably doesn鈥檛 look like one system, one vendor, or one clean stack. Your processes still have to run end to end across all of it: record to report, plan to make, source to pay, hire to retire, order to cash. If AI is going to work in the enterprise, it has to work across this landscape, not inside one application or vendor boundary.

IDC shows that more than 50% of business decisions still take between one and seven days. That is the gap we are closing鈥攆rom days to moments.*

At the core of the Autonomous Enterprise is the 麻豆原创 Autonomous Suite. Joule becomes the way you interact, as a single entry point into your business. In the middle, the 麻豆原创 Autonomous Suite connects your core domains: finance, supply chain, spend, HCM, and customer experience. And underneath, everything is grounded in your business context, your data, your processes, your rules, your governance.

With 麻豆原创鈥檚 unified foundation of applications, data, and business context, AI is embedded directly into how work gets done, enabling autonomous, end-to-end execution rather than isolated use cases.

The operating model behind this is built on a clear division of responsibility: people set priorities, policies, and guardrails. Assistants understand role and process context and coordinate activity across domains. Agents carry out the defined work, detecting signals, triggering actions, and resolving routine tasks continuously in the background.

And while automation is a part of this, the bigger shift is intelligence and optimization. The system is no longer following predefined workflows. It is using business context to understand what is happening, and what should happen next. This is the shift from systems of record to systems that help run the business.

Autonomous Finance shows what changes

Finance offers a clear example of how this model changes the work itself. Many finance organizations still contend with manual steps, fragmented data, and slow cycles. In a volatile environment, that lag translates directly into slower responses to risk, missed opportunities, and diminished confidence in the decisions that shape performance.

With Autonomous Finance, more of that work can be handled by the system, allowing finance teams to spend less time chasing numbers and more time shaping decisions. The function begins to move from reconciling the past to shaping the future.

Autonomous Finance is not one capability, one agent, or one use case. It is built across the entire finance process, from planning to revenue management, treasury, closing, compliance, and tax. Within each area, assistants are supported by specialized agents working continuously in the background. Some focus on forecasting, some on billing, some on cash, and some on closing. The important point is that these capabilities are connected, so decisions in one area can flow into the others. Connected assistants, specialized agents, continuous optimization. That is the model.

The impact across these areas compounds. Finance teams reclaim meaningful capacity as manual reporting, reconciliation, and transaction processing give way to continuous intelligence. Cash cycles compress. Close timelines shorten. Forecasting becomes more accurate and more responsive to changing conditions.

Because these capabilities are connected, improvements in one area reinforce the others: faster billing flows into better cash visibility, which flows into stronger planning confidence, which flows into more decisive action at the executive level. Compliance strengthens as well, not through added controls, but through better intelligence embedded in the process itself, supporting requirements across ISO, SOC, and SOX with greater accuracy and less manual effort.

The result is not incremental improvement in isolated tasks. It is a fundamentally different operating posture for the finance function, one where the system handles orchestration and people direct outcomes.

Industry AI adds depth

Autonomous domains give breadth across business functions, while Industry AI provides the depth of knowledge. The same supply chain problem looks very different in life sciences, in industrial manufacturing, in agribusiness, in retail, or in energy. The rules, regulations, data models, and value chains are different.

麻豆原创 is not starting from generic AI and trying to teach it how an enterprise works. We start with decades of industry and process knowledge, already embedded in the systems that run the world鈥檚 most complex businesses. Our AI is grounded in sector-specific processes, end-to-end value chains, operational realities, and compliance requirements. And our ecosystem extends this with specialized expertise, so organizations can adapt the intelligence to their markets and their industries.

This is not AI for the sake of AI. This is AI applied to the real operating model of each industry.

The path forward

That is the real shift: not AI operating in isolated tasks, but AI helping the enterprise continuously sense, reason, act, and learn. People remain in control throughout, while the system handles the orchestration required to bring together the right data, context, and decision at the right moment.

The Autonomous Enterprise marks a shift from managing processes to directing outcomes. It moves organizations from reacting to events to anticipating them, and from stitching together decisions after the fact toward helping the business move as one connected system.

This does not require waiting for a perfect, fully transformed landscape. Organizations can begin by applying AI on top of existing landscapes and evolving their business as they go. That work is already underway with many of our customers. What they have in common is that they are starting now, moving faster, making better decisions, and building the foundation for a more autonomous enterprise, step by step.

This is a journey. And it begins with the recognition that the enterprise of the future will not be defined by how efficiently it executes predefined processes, but by how intelligently it can sense change, weigh trade-offs, and move with confidence when it matters most.

The business AI imperative

Across industries, organizations are investing heavily in artificial intelligence, yet many still struggle to translate that investment into meaningful business value. At 麻豆原创 Sapphire, the message was clear: This isn鈥檛 a technology problem; it鈥檚 a context and execution problem.

While 80% accuracy may be sufficient for consumer AI applications, Klein said, 鈥淓ighty percent is just not good enough when you run the world鈥檚 most business-critical businesses. They [LLMs] should not guess; they should deliver accurate, compliant, and secure outcomes.鈥� 

Klein acknowledged that while adoption of AI has become near-universal, tangible business value remains elusive. Citing a recent Stanford AI survey, he noted that almost every company is now using AI, but seeing only limited return.

The reason, he argued, lies in a structural gap. Above the waterline of enterprise AI, LLMs continue to improve at tasks trained on publicly available data, while below it lies what enterprises truly need: AI that understands mission-critical business data, end-to-end processes, and operates within security, compliance, and governance frameworks.

ERP as the foundation for business AI

麻豆原创鈥檚 answer to this challenge begins with what Klein described as 鈥渢he brain of every company: its ERP system.鈥� For over 50 years, 麻豆原创 has had solutions with incredibly deep process and data domain know-how alongside the governance requirements, compliance controls, and company-specific configurations that define how businesses actually run.

Now, as part of the company鈥檚 new vision, 麻豆原创 plans to infuse this institutional knowledge into AI agents, enabling them to navigate thousands of business processes, select from more than 7 million data fields, and verify identity and access authorizations before returning any output.

鈥淲e鈥檙e bringing together LLMs with 50 years of business know-how stored in our ERP. But to do this, we had to do nothing less than completely reinvent our company,鈥� he told the audience. 鈥淭oday we are very excited to show you the new 麻豆原创 and our vision for the Autonomous Enterprise.鈥�

麻豆原创 Business AI Platform

To bring this vision to life, 麻豆原创 executives on stage announced a series of important innovations, beginning with the launch of the new 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform, a unified architecture bringing together 麻豆原创 Business Technology Platform, 麻豆原创 Business Data Cloud, and AI Foundation under a single roof.

鈥淭he heart of this new platform is the rich context layer,鈥� said Klein. 鈥淗ere, we infuse the deep ERP business domain know-how into the AI agents. Through our knowledge graphs, our AI agents have now a compass, a map, to find the right process and data in your ERP universe. And to provide the agents even more context, we are also introducing our new 麻豆原创 Domain Models. They have been trained on 麻豆原创’s code to even better understand the business logic of your company.鈥�

But, he said, 麻豆原创 is going further: 鈥淏ecause you run your business not only with 麻豆原创 solutions, our AI agents have to also understand non-麻豆原创 data. That’s why we included our 麻豆原创 Business Data Cloud in the context layer to build a single semantical data layer across 麻豆原创 and non-麻豆原创. No more silos, no spaghetti data sprawl鈥攂ecause no AI agent can compensate for a broken data model.鈥�

Echoing Klein, 麻豆原创 CTO Philipp Herzig, who presented the platform in detail, said it has been designed to close the agent adoption gap in the enterprise by delivering outcome, speed, enterprise-readiness, and context. 鈥淚t’s the place where you build, contextualize, reason, and govern AI,鈥� he said.

Herzig explained that the platform is structured around three layers: the context layer which Klein referenced, the build layer, and the governance layer. 鈥淎gents are only as powerful as the context they operate on,鈥� he said. 鈥淟acking context is the number one reason why enterprise AI projects fail to deliver value.鈥�

Within the build layer of the new platform, the new Joule Studio is designed to understand a company鈥檚 business challenges and enables the building of new AI agents quickly and easily.

The third tier is the governance layer, anchored by the new 麻豆原创 AI Agent Hub built on 麻豆原创 LeanIX. This provides a single command center to discover, manage, and govern all AI agents鈥斅槎乖� and non-麻豆原创. It will be generally available in Q3 and included in 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform at no additional charge.

Underscoring the changing AI marketplace, Herzig was joined on stage by KPMG Global Head of Advisory Rob Fisher, who told the audience: 鈥淲hat I鈥檓 hearing from clients is a clear shift; they鈥檙e moving from AI pilots to embedding integrated AI and agents into how work gets done. Where we see leaders really separating from the pack is in the execution and the organizational adaptability.鈥�

麻豆原创 Autonomous Suite

Building on the platform, 麻豆原创 Executive Board Member Muhammad Alam, 麻豆原创 Product & Engineering, announced the transformation of 麻豆原创鈥檚 SaaS application portfolio into the 麻豆原创 Autonomous Suite, described as the most significant evolution of 麻豆原创鈥檚 applications business in the company鈥檚 history.

The suite spans five domains: Autonomous Finance, Autonomous Spend, Autonomous Supply Chain Management, Autonomous HCM, and Autonomous CX, with more than 200 agents and over 50 assistants available in the coming months. Each assistant is mapped to core business roles and carries defined KPIs tracked through 麻豆原创 AI Agent Hub.

鈥溌槎乖� Autonomous Suite brings together the depth of our process expertise, semantically rich data, and built-in governance and compliance,鈥� said Alam. 鈥淭hese agents are designed with outcomes as a core objective. Each assistant has a defined set of ROI KPIs that you can expect it to deliver.鈥� 

鈥淯nderpinning the autonomous suite are out-of-the-box agents鈥攈undreds of agents cutting across all core business processes,鈥� he shared. 鈥淭hese agents come together into what we call assistants, or Joule Assistants. We’ve mapped these assistants to roles across the core processes of an organization, because we know that the first step 
in realizing value from AI is to empower your people to do more, do it better, or do things that just weren’t possible to be done before.鈥�

Turning to Joule itself, Muhammad said 麻豆原创 is fundamentally reimagining how users will interact with 麻豆原创 applications in the future.

鈥淲e call this Joule spaces and along with the familiar Joule conversations experience and Joule Studio 2.0, it is now part of what we call Joule Work,鈥� he explained.

鈥淛oule Work represents a massive step forward in super-charging the capabilities of Joule as we know it today,鈥� Alam said. 鈥淲ith Joule Work, we’re bringing a claw-based agentic harness to Joule along with computer and file access, better support for open standards such as MCP and A2A, access to a more complete knowledge base, and, of course, amazing visualizations on the fly.鈥�

Industry AI: H&M and Sector-Specific Transformation

During the keynote, 麻豆原创 Chief Operating Officer Sebastian Steinhaeuser introduced the Industry AI initiative, delivering AI-powered solutions built on decades of sector-specific expertise across 26 industries. In life sciences, he highlighted how 麻豆原创 customer Takeda is achieving up to 10% productivity gains, up to 25% reduction in revenue loss from stock-outs, and up to five percent reduction in safety stock through Autonomous Regulated Manufacturing.

He was also joined on stage by H&M Group CDIO Ellen Svanstr枚m, who discussed how the fashion retailer is embedding AI across its value chain. Built on RISE with 麻豆原创, 麻豆原创 Business Data Cloud, 麻豆原创 Commerce Cloud, and 麻豆原创 SuccessFactors solutions, H&M has developed a Store Intelligence Agent that processes real-time signals to generate actionable recommendations for store managers. Svanstrom also demonstrated the AI-powered InStore Concierge, a customer-facing agent that bridges digital and physical retail through personalized outfit recommendations and real-time availability.

RISE with 麻豆原创 and 麻豆原创 GROW: Path to the Autonomous Enterprise

Returning to the keynote stage, Klein emphasized that technology adoption alone does not create business value. Simply plugging AI agents into your system landscape will drive zero value, he said. 鈥淢oving to the Autonomous Enterprise requires serious change management. Adoption of AI goes hand-in-hand with business process change and end user enablement.鈥�

To support customers on this journey, 麻豆原创 announced a comprehensive reset of its RISE with 麻豆原创 and 麻豆原创 GROW offerings. RISE with 麻豆原创 customers will receive contractual commitment to activate three Joule Assistants within the first year, with the Max Success Plan extending adoption across the full enterprise.  

麻豆原创 GROW customers will receive more than 20 AI assistants from day one, with an AI-enabled toolchain designed to support go-live in weeks. New partnerships with Palantir and Accenture will support the most complex migration scenarios.

Closing: The Autonomous Enterprise

Klein closed the keynote by asking Joule to summarize the key takeaways and noting that 麻豆原创 is evolving from being a software company to becoming a business AI company.

鈥淲e showed how to turn the promise of business AI into reality with 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform, which provides the data processes and governance AI need to deliver accurate and secure outcomes at scale; we introduced the 麻豆原创 Autonomous Suite, where applications reason, decide, and act for you; and we showed how to manage change management with RISE with 麻豆原创. Together with customers and partners, we showed how 麻豆原创 is helping companies realize the vision of the Autonomous Enterprise.鈥�

鈥淲e鈥檝e been reinventing how businesses run for over 50 years, and now by infusing 麻豆原创鈥檚 ERP brain into the new 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform, we鈥檙e solving one of the biggest challenges businesses are facing today: how to turn AI into business value,鈥� he said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 the end of long negotiations, supply chain disruptions, financial blind spots, and the beginning of better: Welcome to the Autonomous Enterprise.鈥�
