Capture business-wide AI value with speed and confidence

Demand for professionals who can build, govern, and orchestrate these agents is rising faster than supply, making graduates with hands-on agent-building experience among the most sought-after profiles in today’s job market.

This year at 麻豆原创 Sapphire, 麻豆原创 laid out its vision for the Autonomous Enterprise, where AI agents manage and execute business processes end to end. For universities, this raises an immediate question: How do graduates get ready for a world where AI agents are part of daily operations?

麻豆原创 is now providing new no-cost offerings and resources for universities that give lecturers and students hands-on access to AI agent building, process management, and enterprise architecture tools. The goal is to help higher education keep pace with the rapid adoption of agentic AI in industry and prepare graduates for a changing job market.

Preparing the next generation of AI agent builders

麻豆原创 has put together a new set of offerings and resources that help universities embed agentic AI-related concepts and technology into their teaching hands-on. Three offerings, each covering a different angle of agentic AI, are now accessible at no cost for academic lecturers and their students:

  • : Before building an agent, the process it will operate in must be understood. 麻豆原创 Signavio Process Transformation Suite gives lecturers and their students access to process mining, modeling, and process transformation capabilities. They can model and analyze existing processes, spot inefficiencies, and design improved workflows that include AI agents. Additionally, students and lecturers can now experience process modeling with 麻豆原创 Signavio Process Modeler as part of 麻豆原创 Learning Hub, student edition.
  • : For students to understand where agents sit within an organization’s IT landscape, this is the tool. Newly available at no cost for academic lecturers via 麻豆原创 Learning Hub, student edition, 麻豆原创 LeanIX lets students model enterprise architectures and reason about what changes when introducing AI agents into an existing system landscape.
  • : Lecturers and their students can access an agent-building environment from 麻豆原创 and leverage various enablement resources. These allow students to explore configuring and building an AI agent, either in a guided demo experience or in a live system hands-on.

What makes this especially valuable is how the pieces connect. Students can explore different components of agentic AI hands-on using 麻豆原创 solutions. They learn that building an agent is only part of the job. Understanding process context, architectural and governance implications is equally important.

Collaboration with educational institutions globally

麻豆原创 will also collaborate intensively on embedding agentic AI into teaching with lecturers from more than 10 universities globally, including:

  • Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Hungary
  • E枚tv枚s Lor谩nd University, Hungary
  • Hasso Plattner Institute, Germany
  • HEC Montr茅al, Canada
  • Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany
  • National University of Singapore Business Analytics Centre, Singapore
  • TEC de Monterrey, Mexico
  • Technical University of Munich, Germany
  • Tongji University, China
  • Technical University of Dresden, Germany
  • University of California, Irvine, U.S.

The institutions will get exclusive early access to 麻豆原创’s latest agent building platform capabilities, benefit from agent building deep dives for students with 麻豆原创 experts, and from the opportunity to articulate academic needs with regards to teaching agentic AI related concepts hands-on to 麻豆原创.

鈥淲e want students to work with the same tools and scenarios that companies are using right now,鈥 Dr. Katharina Schaefer, head of Academic Partnerships at 麻豆原创, said. 鈥淏y giving lecturers free access to our agent-building resources, we make it easy for them to bring that reality into their courses. Students who build AI agents on real enterprise processes during their studies will have a head start when they enter the job market.鈥

For faculty, the practical element is what counts. Students do not just read about AI agents in a textbook. They build them on real systems with real constraints.

“What excited me is that students get to work with enterprise-grade tools, thanks to this new platform,” said Prof. Jes煤s Aguilar-Gonzalez, TEC de Monterrey. “Students from our School of Engineering & Sciences build agents connected to real business processes and have to think about architecture and governance. That is much closer to what they will face in their first job than any textbook exercise.”

What sets this apart is its enterprise context: Agentic AI is taught in connection with business processes and the system landscape that supports them, so students learn how AI fits into real operations rather than experimenting in isolation.

Building the workforce of the future

As part of the , 麻豆原创 has been partnering with more than 2,800 educational institutions for decades to enable students to learn, research, and innovate with business applications and technology. With these offerings, 麻豆原创 supports students in developing sought-after 麻豆原创 skills, preparing them for job opportunities worldwide.

麻豆原创 Unveils Business AI Platform to Power the Autonomous Enterprise /2026/05/sap-sapphire-keynote-business-ai-platform-power-autonomous-enterprise/ Wed, 13 May 2026 16:01:00 +0000 /?p=242273 麻豆原创 CEO Christian Klein delivered a bold new vision for the company and its customers yesterday that will enable them to become autonomous enterprises and use agentic AI accurately, securely, and at scale.

麻豆原创 Sapphire in 2026: Advancing the Autonomous Enterprise

In his kickoff keynote at 麻豆原创 Sapphire Orlando, Florida, Klein and other 麻豆原创 Board members detailed how 麻豆原创 plans to bring agentic AI to the world’s most critical business workflows so that humans and AI can meet the accelerating demands of global business profitably, strategically, and safely.

鈥淭oday I鈥檓 super proud to launch our new 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform, which forms the basis for our vision of the future of business: the Autonomous Enterprise, where agents run the business and you can focus on what truly matters,鈥 Klein said.

Enterprise AI is at an inflection point, Klein told his 30,000-strong in-person and virtual keynote audience, and 麻豆原创 is in a unique position to deliver what customers need to turn their businesses into autonomous enterprises.

Welcome to the Autonomous Enterprise | 麻豆原创 Sapphire 2026

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

Introducing the New Joule Studio: Build AI Agents, Apps, and Workflows | Overview

Build faster with intent-based development

To connect business needs and technical execution, we鈥檝e placed intent-based development capabilities at the heart of the Joule Studio experience. Users can simply describe their goals in natural language, enabling anyone in the business to quickly create an automated solution or digital assistant.

When triggered, Joule Studio:

  • Sets the business context for user鈥檚 request with 麻豆原创 Signavio Process Consultant Agent, 麻豆原创 Knowledge Graph, and 麻豆原创 Domain Models.
  • Understands the customer landscape with 麻豆原创 LeanIX, including third-party solutions.
  • Generates a complete, structured flow of artifacts, including a product requirements document that captures the business outcome, technical specifications with implementation-ready details, code scaffolding, test artifacts, and a live working preview.
  • Creates a highly traceable flow from idea to implementation, ensuring a direct, seamless handoff from business users to developers. It fundamentally shifts enterprise agentic development from a slow, manual translation of requirements into a rapid, structured, and 麻豆原创-aligned workflow.

“Joule Studio generated an end-to-end solution in 10 to 15 minutes, replacing three to four days of manual development and coordination.”

Vanitha Ponnusamy, Sony

Develop agentic solutions your preferred way

Joule Studio pairs the simplicity of intent-based capabilities with unprecedented openness, providing developers with the freedom to create agentic solutions their way, using their preferred frameworks and tools without being locked into a single approach.

For example, developers can deepen and adapt Joule Studio-generated solutions using the tools and agentic IDEs they already know and love, such as Visual Studio Code, Cursor, and others. Additionally, Joule Studio offers new pro-code capabilities that support frameworks such as LangChain, Pydantic AI, and LlamaIndex, as well as an embedded n8n environment for visual multi-agent orchestration.

Harness best-in-class partnerships: n8n and Vercel

To build truly transformative AI solutions, developers need the freedom to use the tools they already love. That is why we are thrilled to announce new embedded partnerships with Vercel and n8n, giving Joule Studio users the ultimate flexibility to orchestrate complex workflows and build stunning user experiences鈥攁ll without sacrificing 麻豆原创鈥檚 enterprise-grade security and governance.

Vercel for blazing-fast, custom digital experiences

While 麻豆原创-oriented frameworks like UI5 and 麻豆原创 Fiori remain the gold standard for enterprise consistency, our new partnership with Vercel gives developers unparalleled choice for custom frontend design. By leveraging Vercel within the 麻豆原创 ecosystem, developers can rapidly build highly flexible, custom web interfaces for their AI agents using popular frameworks like Next.js. This enables teams to deliver lightning-fast, consumer-grade digital experiences that prioritize speed and custom design, while securely preserving 麻豆原创 enterprise controls.

n8n for visual workflow orchestration at enterprise scale

Creating intelligent agents is just the beginning; integrating them into end-to-end business processes is where the real value is unlocked. We are bringing an embedded, fully managed n8n environment directly into Joule Studio. By using n8n within Joule Studio, teams can visually orchestrate multi-agent systems and bring AI right into the process flows they are designed to support, ensuring agents act with perfect timing and context. Developers get the beloved n8n experience they already know, complemented by seamless access to 麻豆原创 systems, Joule Studio capabilities, and 麻豆原创-managed services for identity and operations. It is the ultimate combination for delivering powerful, enterprise-ready automations faster than ever.

Deploy enterprise-ready agents securely

Building powerful agents is only half the equation; realizing their full value comes from running them securely and reliably at enterprise scale. To help our customers do this, 麻豆原创 is introducing a managed Joule Studio runtime service that enables organizations to deploy agents, applications, and workflows in a secure, production-ready environment with zero infrastructure management required.

Joule Studio runtime does the heavy lifting for our customers by managing all the complex operational capabilities needed for enterprise scale; runtime configuration, cluster management, storage, and model access are delivered seamlessly out-of-the-box. Underpinning this runtime is also the NVIDIA OpenShell, which places each agent inside an isolated, sandboxed environment with configurable policies and guardrails 鈥 ensuring agents can operate autonomously while staying within defined boundaries and preventing unchecked access to sensitive enterprise systems.

This governed foundation provides IT teams with built-in observability and lifecycle management. With controlled deployments, standardized schema validation, and deep integration with 麻豆原创 Business Transformation Management solutions like 麻豆原创 Signavio and 麻豆原创 LeanIX as well as 麻豆原创 Cloud Application Lifecycle Management allow teams to monitor agent usage, costs, and business impact over time. It creates an always-on cycle of continuous improvement, where AI monitors performance, surfaces insights, and proposes the next round of fixes.

Agents deployed on Joule Studio runtime will be equipped with persistent, long-term memory powered by 麻豆原创 HANA Cloud, enabling them to retrieve user preferences and context across multiple sessions.

Bring agents into the flow of everyday work

Ultimately, the value of agentic AI is realized when people can effortlessly interact with it. With the new Joule Work engagement layer, we are bringing the apps, agents, and workflows your teams build directly into the flow of everyday work, providing a personalized, intent-based workspace that reduces context switching and accelerates task completion.

“Across 48 diverse scenarios, Joule Studio consistently delivered high-quality code, with only a handful of instances requiring minor refinements to reach full functionality.”

Suraj Gahalyan, Accenture

Joule Studio: 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform in action

Joule Studio is more than just a powerful development environment; it is the ultimate expression of the unified coming together. While the broader market struggles with disconnected point solutions that lack business context and keep AI stuck in endless pilot modes, 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform bridges every system, process, and decision to deliver true enterprise-wide value.

Joule Studio acts as the engine that brings the three foundational pillars of the 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform to life in one seamless workflow:

  • Build: We are taking organizations from idea to enterprise impact by providing a unified workspace that enables the seamless creation of agents, applications, and workflows. Whether leveraging intent-based development or our embedded partnerships with n8n and Vercel, teams can turn ideas into solutions without operational overhead.
  • Contextualize and reason: An agent is only as smart as the data it understands. Through deep integration with the 麻豆原创 Knowledge Graph, 麻豆原创 Business Data Cloud, and 麻豆原创 Domain Models, every solution built in Joule Studio is natively anchored in universal business context. This means agents reason over real, semantically rich business data, understanding relationships and process logic, for reliable performance from day one.
  • Govern: Speed and control are no longer a tradeoff. By tapping into 麻豆原创 AI Agent Hub, fully managed Joule runtime, and solutions like 麻豆原创 Signavio and 麻豆原创 LeanIX, Joule Studio embeds enterprise-grade governance, observability, and lifecycle management directly into the development process.

By unifying these capabilities, Joule Studio allows your best people to do their best work. It eliminates integration complexity and fragmented security, empowering your organization to transition from isolated AI experiments into a secure, autonomous enterprise.

Get started today

Joule Studio is ushering in a new era of enterprise-grade agentic development. While the rest of the market struggles to bridge the gap between basic LLMs and real-world business execution, Joule Studio delivers a definitive advantage: agents, applications, and workflows that are natively grounded in 麻豆原创 live data, processes, and business semantics.

I am pleased to share that now through the end of 2026, 麻豆原创 customers and partners can receive free design-time access, including AI-assisted development capabilities under fair-use limits. This is your opportunity to redefine how your business operates and turn your existing 麻豆原创 landscape into an unparalleled AI engine. Equip your teams to build with speed and confidence today.

The Future of the Enterprise Is Autonomous /2026/05/future-enterprise-autonomous/ Wed, 13 May 2026 10:00:00 +0000 /?p=242268 A simple question about a purchase order used to cause frustration, burn time, and waste money.

麻豆原创 Sapphire in 2026: Advancing the Autonomous Enterprise

Employees at , a global fashion retailer with tens of thousands of employees, had to navigate multiple systems to piece together data across sales and procurement. Answering a single question could take up to 10 minutes.

Today, they just ask Joule. What used to take 10 minutes now takes about three seconds, driving a 70% increase in operational efficiency and a 50% reduction in manual errors.

Using capabilities in , LC Waikiki partnered with 麻豆原创 and to build a custom AI-driven experience that dynamically interprets user requests, applies role-based context, performs the necessary queries, and connects data across systems to present a complete view in one place. It then links people directly to the relevant transaction.

At 麻豆原创, stories like these inspire our vision for the enterprise in which AI transforms how people and processes work鈥攐ne where people set the direction and AI executes. We call it the the Autonomous Enterprise.

In the Autonomous Enterprise, decisions are grounded in real-time intelligence, workflows are automated end-to-end, and AI proactively improves every function while empowering people to do their best work.

The Autonomous Enterprise also provides fully governed AI you can trust, so you can achieve more. Making this a reality for companies is critical because AI is now essential to how all work gets done. It is increasingly involved in decisions that carry financial, operational, and regulatory consequences.

Joule: One place to direct the entire business

In the Autonomous Enterprise, Joule Work, announced at 麻豆原创 Sapphire, is the next step in the evolution of how people engage with and execute end-to-end business processes. Joule Work is a dynamic workspace that adapts to intent, keeps people focused on outcomes, and delegates execution to AI.

Through Joule Work, you can say goodbye to manually coordinating work across multiple applications and interfaces. Instead, tell Joule what you want to accomplish. Joule Assistants with role and process context will coordinate teams of Joule Agents to surface the right insights and automate routine work across departments and systems. Rather than static, disjointed systems, you get workspaces that pull together information and menus from various systems that fit your specific needs, in real time.

Joule Work is available now to customers in the 麻豆原创 Early Adopter Care program. 麻豆原创 Early Adopter Care program for the Joule Work desktop app is planned for Q2 2026; general availability for both is planned for H2 2026. The Joule Work mobile app is generally available now.

We also announced that Joule鈥檚 bi-directional Agent-to-Agent (A2A) capabilities will be generally available in Q4, enabling third-party agents to securely call on Joule Agents and act within enterprise processes, extending interoperability in both directions across 麻豆原创 and non-麻豆原创 environments. Agents built in Joule Studio will natively support A2A protocols, enabling interoperability and scalability for multi-agent execution.

麻豆原创 Autonomous Suite: The operational core of the modern enterprise

While Joule Work empowers every individual to do their best work and expand their impact, the 麻豆原创 Autonomous Suite transforms how entire business functions, or 鈥渁utonomous domains,鈥 work.

麻豆原创 Autonomous Suite spans five domains: finance, spend, supply chain, human capital management, and customer experience. These domains will operate as a single system, so workflows and agents run across functions without fragmenting into separate tools, separate data, or separate decisions. This approach allows AI recommendations to reflect your full operating reality.

With 麻豆原创鈥檚 integrated suite of business applications and industry-leading business data, AI in the Autonomous Enterprise is grounded in the specifics of how key business functions actually work. This foundational context for transformative AI outcomes is where 麻豆原创鈥檚 unique experience comes in. For decades, we have been trusted to run our customers鈥 most important functions. 麻豆原创 Autonomous Suite infuses our deep knowledge of business processes into your AI, along with the data context and operational guardrails it needs to be truly effective and reliable at enterprise scale.

Each organization is also unique. Over time, your business has defined how your work gets done. These are the rules, workflows, and how systems respond when something unexpected happens, like a failed transaction, so processes don鈥檛 break. In the Autonomous Enterprise, AI delivers its greatest value by respecting these boundaries, turning your unique ways of working into a true advantage.

At 麻豆原创 Sapphire, we announced new Joule Assistants and Joule Agents, spanning the domains of the Autonomous Enterprise, to help organizations move from managing work to directing outcomes. These new assistants and agents will roll out through the end of this year.

麻豆原创 Business AI Platform: The foundation of the Autonomous Enterprise

The 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform turns the vision of human-led, AI-driven business operations into something enterprises can build and run. It enables them to move from AI experimentation to execution by grounding agents and applications in real business context that governs it all at enterprise scale.

At the center is , a fully managed environment that empowers enterprises to build and manage the full lifecycle of AI agents, applications, extensions, and workflows. Intent-based development capabilities allow people to describe what they need in natural language. A Joule Agent then generates structured requirements, specifications, code, and test artifacts grounded in 麻豆原创 process and data context.

Developers can work within the tools they already use, including VS Code and MCP-enabled toolchains, and choose their preferred agent frameworks, such as , , and .

Through deep integration with the , 鈥攁nd the new 麻豆原创 Domain Models trained on 麻豆原创 code, customer data, metadata, and business processes鈥擩oule Agents reason over real, semantically rich enterprise data rather than generic knowledge. 麻豆原创 Domain Models are available through the 麻豆原创 Early Adopter Care program, with general availability planned for Q3 2026.

Speed and governance, no longer a tradeoff, are built into the 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform. At 麻豆原创, we believe that corporate governance鈥攊ncluding approval flows, compliance processes, identity management, and the ability to audit decision-making鈥攎ust carry into how AI is deployed, updated, and scaled. Joule Studio runtime provides a secure, production-ready, fully managed environment for deploying agents, helping organizations meet compliance standards while reducing infrastructure complexity.

An enhanced 麻豆原创 AI Agent Hub also provides a vendor-agnostic command center to discover, inventory, and govern 麻豆原创 and non-麻豆原创 AI agents and MCP servers across the enterprise. Integration with and further embeds governance and architecture transparency into the development process.

The 麻豆原创 AI Agent Hub leverages enterprise-wide process intelligence to continuously track where AI agents are creating value and can proactively surface where they can deliver even more, because we believe AI needs to remain accountable for outcomes in addition to uptime. 麻豆原创 AI Agent Hub is generally available, with additional capabilities rolling out through 2026. See release timelines in the .

Empowering everyone to solve business challenges with AI

We are making the Autonomous Enterprise a reality because at 麻豆原创, we believe that companies of all sizes need far more than marginally better AI models or the latest bolt-on solutions. They deserve AI-driven outcomes that increase innovation, revenue, and margins.

Shaping the Future of Secure AI Agents: How 麻豆原创 and NVIDIA Are Co-Defining Enterprise-Grade Agent Execution /2026/05/secure-ai-agents-how-sap-and-nvidia-co-define-enterprise-grade-agent-execution/ Tue, 12 May 2026 12:32:00 +0000 /?p=242261 AI agents are no longer confined to demos and copilots. They are beginning to act inside real enterprise systems: executing tasks, invoking tools, and operating continuously across business processes.

麻豆原创 Sapphire in 2026: Advancing the Autonomous Enterprise

For 麻豆原创 customers, this shift promises step-change productivity. But it also raises a hard requirement: Enterprise AI agents must be safe, governable, and auditable by design.

This is the context for 麻豆原创鈥檚 deep technical collaboration on 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform with , an open source secure runtime for autonomous AI agents. This collaboration is not about 麻豆原创 鈥渁dopting鈥 a runtime. It is about 麻豆原创 actively shaping, hardening, and productizing the execution layer for enterprise agentic AI鈥攖ogether with NVIDIA.

Why this matters to 麻豆原创 customers

For 麻豆原创 customers, the value of this collaboration is concrete and practical. It enables:

  • AI agents that operate inside 麻豆原创 processes without bypassing governance
  • Security models aligned with enterprise IAM and compliance frameworks
  • Clear audit trails for agent actions across systems
  • Confidence to move from pilots to production

Most importantly, it avoids a false choice between innovation and control. Customers do not have to bolt security on later, or redesign their risk models to accommodate AI agents. Instead, security and governance are built into the execution model from the start.

The real enterprise challenge: Trusting agents that act

When AI systems move from generating responses to executing actions, the risk profile fundamentally changes. Agentic systems can touch systems of record, cross application and data boundaries, and operate without human review at every step.

In all enterprise environments, especially regulated ones, this makes execution safety and governance the defining challenge. Traditional chatbot-era controls are insufficient once agents can access shells, files, networks, credentials, and APIs.

麻豆原创 customers know this reality well. Business AI is only valuable if it can be:

  • Inspected and audited
  • Constrained by policy
  • Trusted by security and compliance teams

Solving this problem requires more than infrastructure primitives or application-level rules alone.

NVIDIA OpenShell: The foundation

NVIDIA OpenShell addresses a critical layer of the problem: secure, sandboxed execution of autonomous agents.

As an open source runtime, OpenShell introduces strong capabilities, including:

  • Isolated execution environments
  • Policy enforcement for filesystem and network access
  • Runtime-level containment that limits blast radius even when agent logic fails

These capabilities form a foundational layer for autonomous agents to execute safely. In practice, enterprises need that execution layer aligned with business context and governance.

Enterprises expect clarity on questions such as:

  • Which business role authorizes an action?
  • Which process context applies?
  • How actions map to enterprise policies and audit trails?

This is where 麻豆原创鈥檚 contribution becomes decisive.

What 麻豆原创 brings: Enterprise semantics, governance, and scale

麻豆原创 is co-developing and contributing to OpenShell based on enterprise reality.

1. Enterprise-driven runtime requirements

麻豆原创 operates at a level of scale and responsibility that few software providers do: mission-critical processes, regulated industries, and millions of transactions per hour.

By bringing real 麻豆原创 agentic workloads into the collaboration, 麻豆原创 provides the operational proving ground that OpenShell needs to mature from a powerful runtime into an enterprise-hardened one.

This includes shaping requirements around:

  • Isolation boundaries that match enterprise risk models
  • Policy enforcement aligned with real business constraints
  • Auditability that stands up to customer and regulatory scrutiny

2. Co-development of OpenShell capabilities

麻豆原创 is committing engineering capacity to the OpenShell open-source code base, with a focus on areas that matter specifically to enterprises: runtime hardening, policy modeling, enterprise identity integration, and auditing and governance hooks.

麻豆原创 is helping define how secure agent execution must work for enterprises; not just theoretically, but in production.

3. Joule Studio runtime: From runtime safety to enterprise control

Where OpenShell secures execution, Joule Studio runtime provides the enterprise harness that makes agents usable and governable in business systems:

  • Business-aware policy semantics like roles, skills, life cycle
  • Enterprise identity and access control
  • Observability and auditability across agent behavior
  • Deployment and operational governance across landscapes

This ensures that agent autonomy is always framed by business intent and accountability, not just technical permissions.

OpenShell answers: 鈥淐an this action safely execute?鈥; Joule Studio runtime answers: 鈥淪hould this action happen at all?鈥

Raising the bar for enterprise agentic AI

This collaboration represents more than an integration. It reflects a shared intent to define what 鈥渆nterprise-grade鈥 actually means for autonomous AI systems.

By combining NVIDIA鈥檚 runtime and security innovation and 麻豆原创鈥檚 enterprise productization, governance expertise, and operational scale, 麻豆原创 and NVIDIA are working toward an integrated solution for trusted agent execution鈥攐ne that enterprises can inspect, govern, and rely on.

For 麻豆原创 customers, this means AI agents that are not just powerful, but designed to earn trust in the environments where trust matters most.

How 麻豆原创 and NVIDIA Advance AI for Enterprise Transformation /2026/03/how-sap-nvidia-advance-ai-enterprise-transformation/ Tue, 17 Mar 2026 22:05:00 +0000 /?p=241174 Every day, companies around the world rely on 麻豆原创 applications to run the operations that keep their businesses moving.  In fact, 84% of global commerce touches an 麻豆原创 application.

Explore the world of enterprise agents with 麻豆原创 at NVIDIA GTC

Over decades, our customers have built powerful digital foundations on 麻豆原创 to run end-to-end business processes across their enterprises鈥攐ften extending and customizing these systems to support their unique business needs. Now, many are entering the next phase of transformation: modernizing their 麻豆原创 landscapes to unlock the full potential of AI.

As companies move to cloud-based 麻豆原创 environments and clean-core architectures, they are preparing to embed intelligence directly into business processes. This enables new forms of automation, with AI agents that operate across enterprise systems and execute increasingly complex tasks.

Modernizing these systems while introducing AI at scale is a significant undertaking. It requires technologies that integrate with existing applications, operate reliably within mission-critical workflows, and meet the governance standards enterprises demand.

That鈥檚 why, over the past few years, we have partnered with to combine advanced AI technology with deep business context. Our goal is to help organizations accelerate modernization and apply AI across the applications and processes key to their success. This collaboration will be showcased at NVIDIA GTC.

Building the foundation for enterprise-grade AI

Through our collaboration with NVIDIA, we are accelerating the entire life cycle of enterprise AI鈥攆rom model development to high-performance runtime execution鈥攁nd powering AI scenarios across our portfolio. ,  which consists of open libraries such as and , helps accelerate large-scale model training across distributed RL environments. It enables teams to build and refine enterprise-grade AI models faster.

Models are hosted through  and , where our customers and partners leverage those best suited to their use cases. microservices optimize inference performance, and we have observed up to a 20% improvement compared to another popular open source serving engine. Enabled by NVIDIA GPUs and NVIDIA NIM, the increased performance allows organizations to combine advanced AI models with trusted 麻豆原创 business data and processes to ensure that AI operates within the workflows that drive business operations.

Modernizing the business logic that runs the enterprise

AI models trained on 麻豆原创 knowledge and accelerated using NVIDIA technologies are already helping customers tackle some of their most pressing modernization challenges. For example, evolving business logic embedded in the 麻豆原创 systems that run their operations.

For decades, organizations have extended 麻豆原创 applications with custom ABAP code that reflects how their businesses operate. That logic captures years of operational knowledge across finance, supply chain, service processes, and more. But modernizing these environments for the cloud and preparing them for the next generation of AI-driven innovation can be complex.

To help accelerate this journey, 麻豆原创 developed . a foundation model trained exclusively on real-world ABAP code and the business logic used across 麻豆原创 environments. The solution incorporates specialized models for code-related tasks, including StarCoder2 for code completion, and Codestral for deeper code understanding and explanations. These models are served through NVIDIA NIM microservices to deliver high-performance inference.

brings these capabilities into the developer experience, helping teams analyze existing ABAP code, understand how customizations interact with core business processes, and generate new code when needed. By making decades of embedded business logic easier to interpret and update, we help organizations accelerate modernization and preserves the knowledge that makes their operations unique.

Connecting AI to business operations

The collaboration between 麻豆原创 and NVIDIA also explores how AI can operate within enterprise workflows to help organizations apply intelligence across both physical operations and complex planning environments. One emerging area is embodied AI, in which intelligence extends beyond software systems into the physical world. By combining AI reasoning with sensors, robotics, and enterprise data, organizations can connect real-world observations directly with digital business processes.

For example, predictive maintenance alerts from can trigger robotic inspections that analyze equipment using thermal, visual, and acoustic signals. These signals are evaluated alongside asset histories and maintenance records to identify potential issues. then orchestrates follow-up actions through , prioritizing work orders and guiding technicians with the right operational context. By linking physical-world insights with enterprise workflows, organizations can turn physical-world signals into coordinated enterprise actions.

The same principle applies to complex planning environments. Supply chains today must manage a constantly shifting web of constraints, from supplier availability and transportation disruptions to evolving customer demands. With NVIDIA, we are exploring technologies, such as NVIDIA Metropolis and NVIDIA Cosmos, to bring the latest AI advancements into warehouse management, safety, and asset inspection.

Together, we are also bringing new capabilities to  that combine agent-based reasoning with the  GPU-accelerated optimization engine. This enables planners to simulate complex supply chain scenarios and evaluate alternatives with more speed and accuracy. By integrating advanced optimization with 麻豆原创鈥檚 supply chain planning capabilities, organizations can dynamically model constraints, adapt plans as conditions change, and make more confident decisions in increasingly complex environments.

Collaboration with large-scale 麻豆原创 customers helps identify real operational bottlenecks, paving the way for AI-driven solutions. . The Taiwan-based global electronics manufacturer and manufacturing solutions provider will work with 麻豆原创 to develop AI-powered innovations for manufacturing and supply chain operations.

By combining 麻豆原创鈥檚 enterprise applications and business context and Foxconn鈥檚 manufacturing expertise, organizations can enhance operational efficiency, increase resilience, and advance decision-making across complex production and supply networks.

Experience agentic AI at NVIDIA GTC

麻豆原创 is enabling Joule Agents across its application portfolio, helping organizations automate tasks and coordinate complex workflows within business processes. At NVIDIA GTC, visitors will see how these capabilities are extended using  on to build agents tailored to specific enterprise scenarios.

Why Customer-Specific AI Will Define the Next Era of the Automotive Ecosystem /2026/02/customer-specific-ai-next-era-automotive-ecosystem/ Thu, 12 Feb 2026 11:15:00 +0000 /?p=240520 The automotive industry has always been a bellwether for technological change. From mass production to lean manufacturing, from embedded software to connected vehicles, each wave of innovation has reshaped not just cars but entire ecosystems. Today, artificial intelligence is doing the same鈥攓uietly, decisively, and at scale. While much of the public conversation around AI in automotive focuses on autonomous driving or in-car experiences, the real transformation is unfolding behind the scenes, in how vehicles are designed, launched, serviced, and sustained over their lifecycle.

According to industry , auto executives expect AI to boost product value by 22% and digital service value by 37% within three years. As vehicle portfolios expand鈥攅lectric, hybrid, software-defined, and increasingly customized鈥攖he operational complexity for automakers and suppliers has risen sharply. Nowhere is this more evident than in service parts management and new product introduction (NPI).

Solve business challenges with innovations aligned聽with聽suite-first聽and AI-first strategies

Service parts planners sit at the intersection of engineering, supply chain, manufacturing, and customer service. Their task is deceptively simple: ensure the right parts are available at the right time and place across a vehicle鈥檚 lifecycle. In reality, they grapple with fragmented data, limited inventory visibility, unpredictable demand signals, and compressed timelines鈥攅specially as new models and components are introduced at unprecedented speed. High data quality, tight orchestration across systems, and rapid decision-making are no longer nice to have, they are business-critical.

This is where becomes transformative. Instead of treating NPI as a linear, manual, and reactive process, AI agents can fundamentally reimagine how service parts planning is executed. By embedding AI directly into the planning workflow, service parts planners are supported鈥攏ot replaced鈥攂y intelligent systems that operate with full contextual awareness. These AI agents can monitor real-time data across inventories, supplier readiness, historical demand patterns, external risk factors, and engineering changes, as well as orchestrate the NPI process end to end.

In practice, this means planners move from firefighting to foresight. AI agents can automate sequential NPI steps, flag potential bottlenecks before they materialize, and dynamically adjust plans as conditions change. A single, unified dashboard provides transparency across the entire process, while built-in what-if simulations allow planners to test scenarios鈥攕upplier delays, demand spikes, geopolitical disruptions鈥攂efore decisions are locked in. Crucially, humans remain firmly in control. AI augments judgment, improves speed, and enhances confidence, rather than operating in a silo.

Platforms like 麻豆原创 Business Technology Platform (麻豆原创 BTP), combined with Joule and the agent builder capability in Joule Studio, can enable this multi-agent approach at enterprise scale. By integrating AI seamlessly with core business processes, automakers can ensure that intelligence flows across functions, rather than being trapped in silos. The result is not just automation, but orchestration鈥攚here systems, data, and people work in concert.

The impact is tangible. Automakers can significantly reduce planning cycle times and improve time-to-market for new products. Planning risk is lowered through continuous what-if analysis that incorporates both internal and external variables. Service readiness improves, ensuring that customers experience continuity and reliability even as product complexity increases. At an ecosystem level, this translates into greater resilience, lower costs, and higher customer satisfaction.

More broadly, this use case points to a shift in how we should think about customer-specific AI in automotive. The future will not be defined solely by smarter vehicles, but by smarter enterprises鈥攚here AI agents support decision-making across the value chain, from product inception to end-of-life service. In an industry under pressure to innovate faster, operate leaner, and remain sustainable, AI-driven operations are fast becoming a competitive necessity. The automotive ecosystem is evolving. Those who embrace AI not just as a technology but as a new operating model will be best positioned to lead it.

With this approach, we are enabling a platform shift across the tech stack in a non-disruptive fashion, empowering developers to work faster and smarter using the frameworks and tools of their choice.

麻豆原创 HANA Cloud and 麻豆原创 Business Data Cloud: powering our AI-native future

麻豆原创 HANA Cloud is the database for 麻豆原创鈥檚 AI-native software architecture and the foundation of our broader data fabric strategy. At 麻豆原创 TechEd, we announced new AI capabilities for 麻豆原创 HANA Cloud that spur AI innovation.  

For example, Model Context Protocol (MCP) support for 麻豆原创 HANA Cloud is now generally available. This provides direct access to rich multi-model engines. Agents can be grounded in full enterprise data context: navigating relationships across customers and suppliers, understanding geographic dependencies through spatial data, and performing semantic searches through vector embeddings — all within a single in-memory engine.  

We鈥檙e also expanding 麻豆原创 HANA Cloud knowledge graph engine capabilities (Q1 2026) so customers can automatically generate knowledge graphs from 麻豆原创 HANA Cloud metadata. What used to take weeks of manual modeling can now happen automatically in minutes. But that鈥檚 not all. We鈥檙e also enabling agentic memory in 麻豆原创 HANA Cloud.

麻豆原创-RPT-1: a new category of AI models

One of our most exciting announcements at 麻豆原创 TechEd was the launch of our first enterprise relational foundation model 麻豆原创-RPT-1, pronounced: 鈥渞apid one.鈥

Businesses run on structured data. But large language models (LLMs) struggle with a general understanding of table structures and associated semantics. This requires the use of machine learning, or 鈥渘arrow AI,鈥 for tasks like classification, regression, and more. But classical machine learning necessitates training a model on each task, which easily can lead to hundreds of separate models.

麻豆原创-RPT-1 puts them all into one single, pre-trained model that understands relational business data and predicts business outcomes. Unlike language, image, or video models, 麻豆原创-RPT-1 accurately predicts business based on tabular data such as payment delays, supplier risks, upsell opportunities, customer churn risk, and more.

We believe that 麻豆原创-RPT-1 is a super capable foundation model today. It provides up to 2x better prediction quality compared to narrow models and 3.5x better prediction quality as compared to LLMs. .

麻豆原创-RPT-1 comes in three versions. 麻豆原创-RPT-1-small is for super-fast predictions and 麻豆原创-RPT-1-large is for highest accuracy. Both will be generally available in Q4 2025 in the generative AI hub in AI Foundation. 麻豆原创-RPT-1-OSS is the open-source version, available in Hugging Face and GitHub.

You can test 麻豆原创-RPT-1 today with your data or our use case data samples via no-code UI or via API in the new 麻豆原创-RPT-1 playground, an intuitive and interactive space to test for free and open to everyone and .

We are continuously adding new capabilities to AI Foundation and models to the generative AI hub, empowering developers to experiment with orchestration tools and leading models to scale AI development and productization across 麻豆原创 and non-麻豆原创 environments. For example, Perplexity is now generally available in the generative AI hub, so users can correlate business data with external data from the internet. Evaluation Services and Prompt Optimizer, in close collaboration with NotDiamond, are now also generally available in AI Foundation, freeing up users to adopt the most appropriate model for their use cases without the need for rewriting prompts. .

Digital sovereignty made in Germany, for Europe

Digital sovereignty is becoming increasingly important, reflecting the need for regional AI services that align with local regulations, standards, and values. As an example, Europe will benefit from its own strong, trustworthy infrastructure to support innovation, data protection, and ethical AI.

AI Foundation, including various models and all the services we offer, is already available on our own cloud infrastructure. As a next step, we are expanding our 麻豆原创 Cloud Infrastructure offering in our 麻豆原创 data center in Walldorf, Germany, to Deutsche Telekom through the Industrial AI Cloud project, providing secure, high-performance infrastructure for AI innovations across public institutions, defense, and society. 麻豆原创 delivers 麻豆原创 Cloud Infrastructure, 麻豆原创 Business Technology Platform, and applications 鈥 including our AI Foundation with frontier AI from Mistral, Cohere, and others 鈥 on Telekom鈥檚 Munich data center. Both companies uphold the highest standards of data protection, security, and reliability.

This marks a milestone as more European companies join the Industrial AI Cloud project, advancing applied AI across Europe with trusted, business-embedded solutions that unlock the full potential of industry data. See the announcement here.

Enabling customers to build, extend, share, and orchestrate AI agents

To help manage Joule Agents and Joule skills, we have introduced the concept of AI Assistants 鈥 role-based AI teammates, accessed through Joule 鈥 like a financial assistant that brings together agents for cash collection, treasury, and more. We will provide AI Assistants in Joule for every core business role, offering our users an agentic experience like never before.

Out-of-the-box Joule Agents are powerful, but we know that every company has unique requirements. We believe AI should adapt to users鈥 systems, not the other way around, so we are enabling them to use Joule Studio to extend 麻豆原创鈥檚 pre-built agents with custom fields, tools, and reasoning logic while retaining all the deeply grounded integration capabilities 麻豆原创 provides. Joule Studio also provides low-code tools to build custom agents that integrate with all other Joule Agents, Joule skills, and 麻豆原创 BDC.

Using a low-code approach, users can build Joule Agents visually with natural language and drag-and-drop. But we also want to meet the needs of developers who want ultimate flexibility. Our pro-code approach gives developers the freedom to build agents using the agentic framework of their choice 鈥 for example, LangGraph, CrewAI, Google鈥檚 Agent Development Kit, and more. 麻豆原创 Cloud SDK for AI now supports agentic development, ensuring these pro-code agents can be seamlessly integrated and giving developers the best of both worlds: deep integration and full flexibility.

No matter how you want to build agents, an important question is how to integrate them into the larger ecosystem beyond 麻豆原创. We鈥檙e making Joule Agents fully compatible with the agent-to-agent (A2A) protocol soon, so agents can discover and collaborate with each other.

A2A exposes rich semantics describing an agent鈥檚 capabilities, allowing both 麻豆原创 and third-party agents to work together seamlessly. We are collaborating with partners 鈥 AWS, Google, Microsoft, ServiceNow, and more 鈥 to standardize this protocol for full interoperability. This capability will allow Joule to orchestrate tasks across multiple agents, both 麻豆原创 and non-麻豆原创, increasing automation and productivity across the enterprise. Read more here.

To manage and govern agents across the enterprise, is now generally available, providing centralized control of 麻豆原创 and non-麻豆原创 agents. In addition, is available now for tracing agent actions, benchmarking against KPIs, and identifying bottlenecks or opportunities for agents to further improve business.

No 麻豆原创 TechEd without ABAP news

The ABAP journey continues with 麻豆原创-ABAP-1, which will be available in the generative AI hub in Q4 2025. Trained on ABAP code, it is designed to build ABAP AI use cases, enabling developers to build smarter, custom AI solutions in modern ABAP code. .

In addition, ABAP Cloud development is coming to Visual Studio (VS) Code. The new ABAP Cloud extension for VS Code delivers a streamlined, file-based development experience with built-in AI assistance. Powered by an ABAP language server, it will initially support 麻豆原创 Fiori UI service development and expand to additional ABAP Cloud scenarios over time. This brings ABAP development into the same environment where developers already build with UI5 and CAP. General availability is planned for Q2 2026. .

What鈥檚 next: embodied AI and quantum

麻豆原创 TechEd is always an opportunity to look to the future. This year, that future includes not just humans, but also autonomous devices, including humanoid robots.

By integrating Joule Agents natively with robots, 麻豆原创 is bringing business logic into the physical world, enabling a wide range of autonomous devices to operate with enterprise context. We highlighted our strategic partnerships with robotics companies and system integrators to serve customers like Sartorius, Bitzer, and Matur Fompak, demonstrating how our expanding physical AI ecosystem enables robots to understand business processes and execute complex tasks autonomously.

Early proof-of-concept deployments show Joule successfully integrated with 麻豆原创 business applications and autonomous systems across asset performance, logistics, field services, and warehouse operations. While still in the pioneering stage, these implementations illustrate how 麻豆原创 is extending Joule to serve both human users and autonomous devices, shaping the future of enterprise AI.

Read more about the partnerships and implementations here.

AI is a new compute paradigm that changes everything. But there is another compute paradigm on the horizon: quantum computing. It鈥檚 early days, but 麻豆原创 is driving the future of enterprise computing with a vision to help businesses get ready for quantum computing.

麻豆原创 is not building quantum hardware; instead, we are focusing on creating quantum algorithms for business applications. These solutions are simple to deploy 鈥 on when needed, off when not 鈥 and are designed to be hardware-agnostic, collaborating with partners such as IBM to ensure seamless integration without re-platforming. This approach will enable organizations to unlock operational efficiency and drive better business results at enterprise scale.

I couldn鈥檛 be more excited about what鈥檚 next for our customers鈥 future as we bring 麻豆原创鈥檚 AI-native architecture to life.
