At 麻豆原创 TechEd in 2026, 麻豆原创 announced a series of innovations in Joule Work, Joule Studio, and 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform.

From building and extending AI agents to connecting business data and governing AI experiences, see how 麻豆原创 helps customers move towards the Autonomous Enterprise. Hear 麻豆原创 leaders and industry voices share what鈥檚 new, their perspectives, and more.

In 1996 麻豆原创 held its first event for developers. Thirty years later in Berlin, 麻豆原创 CTO Philipp Herzig told the 麻豆原创 TechEd keynote audience, 鈥淲e are experiencing the biggest and fastest technological shift in our lifetime.鈥�

鈥淔or decades developers have been building systems in a structured, deterministic way. But the world for builders has changed tremendously with AI,鈥� he said. 鈥淚t changes what’s possible. This is what 麻豆原创 TechEd is all about: combining both classical and new technologies that unlock the magic for business and provide endless opportunities to innovate.鈥�

From vision to execution

Underscoring his point, Herzig noted that during the 麻豆原创 Sapphire conference earlier this year, the company 鈥減ut out a bold vision to enable the Autonomous Enterprise, re-imagining every business process end-to-end with AI. And just like 30 years ago, the whole tech stack is shifting.鈥�

For 麻豆原创, this is reflected in Joule Work and the new 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform. Herzig described Joule Work as a 鈥済roundbreaking new way to experience software鈥� that taps into 麻豆原创鈥檚 five autonomous domains and assistants that reason and act across 麻豆原创 and non-麻豆原创 data, and 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform as 鈥渢he foundation where you build and extend agents, manage all your data, and govern AI experiences.鈥�

Designed for better business outcomes

Elaborating, he emphasized that 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform 鈥渋sn鈥檛 just another tech platform, it鈥檚 specifically designed to build better business outcomes, deliver faster time-to-value and better price performance.鈥� In addition, it is enterprise-readiness from day one: secure, governed, and compliant, 鈥渁ll made possible through our unique context layer built on 50 years of domain and industry expertise.鈥�

Together, Joule Work and 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform underpin 麻豆原创鈥檚 commitment to build the Autonomous Enterprise. 鈥淎nd it鈥檚 here today,鈥� Herzig told the audience. 鈥淲e are excited to show you our latest updates at 麻豆原创 TechEd.鈥�

For the rest of the keynote, Herzig and his 麻豆原创 colleagues鈥攊ncluding 麻豆原创 Chief AI Officer Jonathan von Rueden; Manoj Swaminathan, president and chief product officer for 麻豆原创 Autonomous Suite; Tina Berlin, head of AI Foundation EU at 麻豆原创; Michelle Niedernhuber, lead product manager for 麻豆原创 AI Agent Hub; and Soeren Ruder, chief product officer and global head of Customer Experience & Solutions鈥攄etailed these updates and demonstrated them on stage.

Joule Work

Beginning with Joule Work, Herzig said 麻豆原创 had re-designed the user experience from the ground up: 鈥淎ll to make it more delightful and intuitive to use than ever. One starting point. One experience.鈥�

Joule Work now connects all 麻豆原创 applications as well as Office365, Claude Cowork, Glean, and ServiceNow out of the box. It remembers preferences and context from past interactions and continuously adapts. In addition to the conversational interface, shareable spaces that dynamically assemble data into interactive applications are also available.

The keynote speakers described Joule Work as a redesigned, cross-application AI experience available everywhere, including web, desktop, mobile, voice, and even Apple CarPlay. And they noted that Joule Work has been tested for months by more than 110,000 麻豆原创 employees, along with more than 150 customers, who joined the 麻豆原创 Early Adopter Care program, 鈥渁ll so you get the best AI experience.鈥�

One early adopter, Robert Mueller from Bosch Digital, joined Herzig on stage and said his teams had been testing Joule Work, Joule Studio, and the first assistants and agents and that the first user feedback had been positive. 鈥淥ur next step is to bring Joule into daily use,鈥� he said.

麻豆原创 Autonomous Suite

Manoj Swaminathan then took the stage to demonstrate the 麻豆原创 Autonomous Suite. 鈥淔or over five decades, 麻豆原创 has built the systems that help you run your business in the best way possible. Continuing that focus, we now deliver out-of-the-box a suite of 麻豆原创-managed assistants and agents across five horizontal domains, with industry specialization.鈥�

鈥淚鈥檓 excited to announce today 40 assistants and 300 agents between 麻豆原创 and our partners for you to explore,鈥� he added. 鈥淭hese give you a baseline for systems of intelligence and systems of action, built around three priorities, delivering: automation, intelligence and insights, and optimizations, with value that can be realized and measured, across reduction in cost, increased productivity, increased speed, improved quality, and more.鈥�

The new assistants include a Financial Consolidation Assistant that can reduce the time to close the books by up to 68%, a Sourcing Assistant that can reduce total cost of ownership by 15%, and a Supplier Management Assistant that detects and responds to supplier risk 60% faster.

鈥淔or these tasks, an answer that is 鈥榩robable鈥� is just not good enough,鈥� Swaminathan said. 鈥淵ou need the right answer, every single time, and they need to be compliant and traceable. That is what these assistants and agents uniquely enable, because every single one of these agents are ISO and SOC compliant.鈥�

麻豆原创 Business AI Platform

He noted that every agent is natively an Agent to Agent (A2A) endpoint, connected through 麻豆原创鈥檚 A2A gateway, and the platform supports extensions by default. 鈥淔or you as a builder, we鈥檝e made available the 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform, the foundation the 麻豆原创 Autonomous Suite is built on, so you can build to whatever your requirements are in Joule Studio.鈥�

鈥淵ou might ask, 鈥業’m already doing this with support from public models, why build on top of 麻豆原创鈥檚 Business AI Platform?鈥� Because a public model does not know your processes, your master data or your company. 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform does,鈥� Swaminathan shared. 鈥淥ur AI agents are embedded in the deterministic workflows of our applications. They deliver the one true answer as they run on the same data, following the same rules, and leave the same audit trail as our applications and you decide the level of autonomy.鈥�

But he pointed out that the 麻豆原创 Autonomous Suite does not restrict itself to only back-office operations. 鈥淥ur biggest customers are losing 11% of revenue to unplanned downtime experiences with on-site operations. Customers understand the problem but there hasn’t been a solution that responds to these challenges until now.鈥�

Physical AI by 麻豆原创

To address this issue, Swaminathan announced physical AI by 麻豆原创, which extends the Autonomous Enterprise into the physical world, turning business decisions into physical action, and bringing verified outcomes back into 麻豆原创 in a secure and governed way.

During an on-stage appearance, Ricky Watts, who runs the Industrial and Robotics Division of Intel, said the company is already running physical AI at its operational site in Chengdu, where 麻豆原创 warehouse management is driving autonomous robots closing the loop, writing outcomes back into 麻豆原创 as live transactions.

Jonathan von Rueden then took over the keynote stage to talk about the more than 300 standard Joule agents across the suite and how Joule Work and skills can adapt and customize standard agents to get the most from AI. If you want to go further still, he said, 鈥淛oule Studio is just one click away.鈥�

Joule Studio: Extend, build, and integrate your agents

Joule Studio, 麻豆原创’s agent-building platform, lets anyone customize AI with a skill: a natural language description and a few lines of code defining what an agent should do, opening agent-building beyond developers.

If you want to go deeper, and need to know where to begin, the Process Consulting Agent identifies where and what to build before development begins. “Just say what you want to get it done,” said von Rueden. 麻豆原创 Knowledge Graph finds the relevant APIs, MCP servers, and data products, and Joule Studio generates the specifications, structure, and integration logic.

The result: Moving from intent to a working agent takes roughly 2.5 hours instead of 13. Because agents don’t need to guess at requests, they use fewer tokens. “In our testing, that adds up to 50% lower cost per task,” von Rueden told the audience.

“With Joule Studio on 麻豆原创 Business AI platform, we focus on four things: business outcomes, time to value, performance for price, and enterprise readiness with deep integration.”

That last point matters in complex landscapes. With dozens of platforms, data sources, and tools running alongside 麻豆原创 systems, agents need to work across those boundaries safely and with governance, without a custom integration for every new platform.

“You’d expect a certain level of out-of-the-box capabilities and we’ve delivered,” Tina Berlin said. Agent gateway is generally available today, connecting agents and endpoints across any landscape boundary.鈥�

For more complex scenarios requiring rate limiting, routing, protocol translation, and advanced access control, 麻豆原创 is announcing 麻豆原创 Enterprise AI Gateway, built on 麻豆原创 Integration Suite as a natural overlay to agent gateway.

Herzig then returned to the stage to underscore the importance of reliable data for business AI. “Any AI system is only as good as the data it reasons over,” he said, “data that lives in different physical systems, be it 麻豆原创 or non-麻豆原创, on clouds, on-premise, and the edge.”

麻豆原创 Business Data Cloud

鈥淪o how do you bring it together in a consistent, AI-ready way?鈥� The answer, Herzig said, is 麻豆原创 Business Data Cloud, which provides customers with universal business context across their entire multi-cloud landscape. 鈥淎nd thousands of customers are benefitting from the outcomes, time to value, and lower cost already today.鈥�

In addition, he announced that the full scope of the entire Databricks platform will now be available natively in 麻豆原创 Business Data Cloud. This means that data from different systems can now be combined into a 鈥済olden鈥� master record, providing customers with a unified, AI-ready data foundation.

麻豆原创 executives also introduced a new 麻豆原创 Business Data Cloud Ontology Manager, available as beta. With it, customers can enrich 麻豆原创 Knowledge Graph with their industry-specific concepts or build entire ontologies.

A new Governance Assistant ensures compliance with EU regulation, while agent observability, and 麻豆原创 Signavio agent mining close the loop between agent design and production behavior to deliver governance. Runtime verification enforcement ensures that agents not verified in 麻豆原创 AI Agent Hub cannot be invoked.

Governance

All of it is 麻豆原创-managed with governance built in: ISO and SOC compliant, runtime enforced, with every agent testable and traceable via 麻豆原创 AI Agent Hub. And the new 麻豆原创 Enterprise AI Gateway delivers policy enforcement, enhanced observability, and runtime controls all in one place.

鈥淔or AI governance we need to connect the design time layer where we define, assess and verify an agent with the runtime layer that enforces, monitors and optimizes agent behavior,鈥� Michelle Niedernhuber said.

With the EU AI Act now in force, 麻豆原创 is releasing the AI Governance Assistant for the 麻豆原创 Early Adopter Care program customers in November, she shared. The assistant uses existing information, guides the agent owner through the remaining questions, and produces an audit-ready AI risk classification.

Together, 麻豆原创 AI Agent Hub and 麻豆原创 Enterprise AI Gateway serve as the design and runtime integration layer that connects oversight with enforcement. By connecting oversight, runtime enforcement, and continuous improvement, 麻豆原创 gives enterprises confidence that their agents operate as intended.

鈥淕overnance is not what slows AI adoption,鈥� Niedernhuber noted. 鈥淚t is what makes AI adoption at scale possible.鈥�

AI proven under pressure: 麻豆原创 brings AI to space

Rounding out the keynote, Herzig announced that together with partner Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), 鈥溌槎乖� is taking our tabular foundation models, 麻豆原创-RPT and TabPFN, for real-time predictions in space to put AI to work under extreme conditions.鈥�

In space, a delayed decision can mean the difference between system safety and total loss. 麻豆原创’s AI enables faster decision-making and earlier failure prediction, when the stakes are highest.

Herzig explained how the foundation models analyze live hardware telemetry, identify sensor degradation, and reconstruct missing readings in real time. The outcome is a structured report recommending actions to the spaceship crew or ground staff on what to do to prevent a problem from becoming a crisis.

鈥淣ow, if we can run predictions like this in one of the most unforgiving environments, think about what this means for your operations here on Earth. That鈥檚 AI proven under pressure,鈥� Herzig said, bringing the keynote to a close.

International Space Station鈥檚 use of tabular AI and expanded partnerships demonstrate the art of the possible with 麻豆原创 AI

BERLIN 鈥� (NYSE: 麻豆原创) today announced a series of AI innovations at its annual 麻豆原创 TechEd conference that expands its portfolio for developers.

The enhancements to the Joule Studio and Joule Work solutions and 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform, including the latest tabular foundation model from 麻豆原创, offer new tools to build and extend AI agents, a richer data and business context for those agents to reason with, and strengthened governance controls to run them responsibly across the enterprise.

麻豆原创 Business AI Platform gives organizations one place to build, contextualize and govern AI across 麻豆原创 and third-party environments. With Joule Studio, business users and developers can use no-code and pro-code tools to build and extend agents, choosing from more than 70 AI models. Customers in the Joule Studio early adopter program also can design and run n8n workflows in Joule Studio, with broader availability to follow. The 麻豆原创 Business Data Cloud and 麻豆原创 Knowledge Graph solutions ground those agents in trusted business data and context, helping organizations select the right model for each use case and better manage AI value and consumption. Importantly, 麻豆原创 customers鈥� data remains their data. 麻豆原创 does not share customer data with anyone to train or improve large language models.

鈥溌槎乖� TechEd has always been where builders shape what comes next,鈥� said Philipp Herzig, CTO of 麻豆原创 SE. 鈥淭his year, we are showing how we are moving from AI learning your business to running it. Joule Work is where you put your intent and get work done, in one experience across the entire 麻豆原创 landscape and beyond. That is the shift we are delivering at scale. Everything underneath runs on 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform, delivering faster time to value through out-of-the-box business understanding, higher accuracy, enterprise-readiness that is secure, governed and compliant from the first deployment, and a unique context layer built on over 50 years of process and industry expertise, encoded into every agent action. This is AI built where real work happens.鈥�

Joule Work and Joule Studio Make the Autonomous Enterprise Real

New capabilities for Joule Work will help make AI agents more effective at handling complex business processes via open protocols including Agent2Agent (A2A) and Model Context Protocol (MCP). These innovations advance Joule Work to better understand context, make decisions and execute multistep business workflows across enterprise systems and business domains:

• New agentic thinking capabilities that plan and orchestrate the steps assistants and agents need to reliably complete complex, multistep business workflows across 麻豆原创 landscapes.
• New capabilities in 麻豆原创 Knowledge Graph will incorporate data from additional 麻豆原创 and non-麻豆原创 sources that are unique to each customer. Users can query and explore their customized data in natural language and get accurate answers grounded in their own information.
• Advancements in interoperability allow third-party agents to securely invoke Joule Agents through a governed agent gateway. This enforced access control enables agents from different providers to collaborate across business workflows without sacrificing governance or control.
• New 麻豆原创 Enterprise AI Gateway solution will extend governance to AI interactions, offering a centralized way to manage AI traffic across the enterprise that will consolidate authentication, policy enforcement, routing, monitoring, usage tracking and auditing.
• New Joule Assistant and 麻豆原创 AI Agent Hub expand governance capabilities, and a new AI Governance Assistant helps customers meet compliance requirements for the EU AI Act. These are designed to address critical barriers to scaling enterprise AI: keeping AI systems classified, compliant and operating within defined organizational guardrails and context.

麻豆原创 also announced that Joule Studio has new observability and administrative controls to give developers and administrators visibility into agent behavior, model usage and spend. Joule Studio is 麻豆原创鈥檚 AI-first development environment that is accessible through Joule Work for building and extending enterprise agents. Joule Studio will run a time-bound promotion for select customers, where deploying and running custom agents on the 麻豆原创-managed Joule Studio runtime will remain free through December 2026. The design-time tooling for building and testing agents and n8n workflows with AI-assisted development will remain free under fair-use limits.

麻豆原创 Business Data Cloud as the Grounding Engine of the Autonomous Enterprise

麻豆原创 Business Data Cloud Ontology Manager in 麻豆原创 Business Data Cloud (麻豆原创 BDC) will provide an AI-native authoring experience for building ontologies across 麻豆原创 and third-party data. By helping AI understand how data from different teams, systems and applications relate to one another, AI agents can more accurately reason and make decisions across the enterprise. The solutions complement 麻豆原创 Knowledge Graph, which provides rich business context for 麻豆原创 data.

Additionally, 麻豆原创 is expanding its lakehouse capabilities with Dremio, adding native support for Apache Iceberg and Apache Polaris plus a high-performance, federated query engine that will enable unified data access without moving or copying the data. 麻豆原创 expands its partnership with Databricks, bringing the full scope and latest innovations of data engineering and enterprise AI capabilities into 麻豆原创 Business Data Cloud as 麻豆原创 Databricks. Core innovations such as Lakeflow, Agent Bricks, Unity Gateway, and Lakebase will help customers to simplify data management and provide a strong data foundation for their AI journey. With a deeper integration to 麻豆原创 Business Data Cloud, a new 麻豆原创 Application Data Foundation, as well as an integration between Joule and Genie, 麻豆原创 and Databricks are helping customers establish an enterprise-wide lakehouse as the foundation for the Autonomous Enterprise and Joule Work.

The 麻豆原创 Reltio solution, recently announced at 麻豆原创 Connect, will bring multidomain master data management to 麻豆原创 BDC. It unifies and enriches customer, supplier and product records across 麻豆原创 and non-麻豆原创 systems into trusted, reusable data products that can power applications and AI agents.

Tabular Foundation Model Trusted for Business, Validated in Space

麻豆原创 announced its latest tabular AI model, 麻豆原创-RPT-2.0, which will expand beyond classification and regression to support anomaly and outlier detection, and richer AI-powered analysis through embeddings. These native, multi-table capabilities will further reduce manual engineering while delivering faster, deeper insights from structured data. In addition, a new 麻豆原创-RPT-TS model will help customers predict values across time-indexed business metrics for key forecasting use cases using the 麻豆原创 Integrated Business Planning solution without requiring custom machine learning.

In partnership with HPE, 麻豆原创 also announced the deployment of 麻豆原创-RPT on the HPE Spaceborne Computer-2 aboard the International Space Station (ISS), one of the most significant edge-compute validations of any enterprise AI model to date. 麻豆原创-RPT is planned to run directly onboard the ISS to support anomaly triage, predict issues before failures escalate, reconstruct missing sensor values from historical data, and generate explainable mission-health reports for astronauts and ground teams 鈥� all without requiring data to be sent back to Earth for analysis.

鈥淭he same trusted 麻豆原创-RPT model that powers global supply chains also can work in space,鈥� said Herzig. 鈥溌槎乖粹�檚 deep-rooted, proven expertise has led to the International Space Station鈥檚 use of our tabular foundation model to predict potential mission-critical failures in orbit. With 麻豆原创-RPT and TabPFN from Prior Labs, we bring the unique capabilities of tabular AI into the enterprise and across every frontier.鈥�

Out-of-the-Box Assistants and Agents Define Our Advantage

For five decades, 麻豆原创 has built the systems of record that run your business. We will deliver, out of the box, a suite of assistants and agents across five horizontal domains all running on 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform 鈥� with industry specialization 鈥� that provides a baseline for systems of intelligence and systems of action.

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.

As organizations adopt more agents, they need a clear view of their AI landscape. 麻豆原创 AI Agent Hub provides a central inventory of 麻豆原创 and non-麻豆原创 agents, helping teams keep track of and govern their growing agent portfolio. With 麻豆原创 Signavio agent mining and the Process Consulting Agent, we enable customers to identify their biggest opportunities for agentic AI and execute on them right away. This visibility supports a more coordinated approach to managing AI adoption across the business.

With Joule Studio, accessible through Joule Work, customers can create agents tailored to their business and extend 麻豆原创 standard agents with their own instructions. Browser-based tools and pro-code development options support different levels of technical expertise, while testing, versioning, and deployment turn ideas into agents that take action. This lets customers extend 麻豆原创鈥檚 capabilities to meet their business requirements.

Now, let鈥檚 dive into recent innovation.

Please note that this article covers only AI offerings released since July 1, 2026.

Joule

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. Reinhausen, a global technology leader in electrical grid technologies, joined the Joule Work desktop early adopter program to support its AI journey. 鈥淲hat once required up to an hour of manual effort across our 麻豆原创 S/4HANA environment is now accessible in seconds through natural language, fundamentally changing how our teams interact with business data,鈥� said Peter Wied, director of Complexity Management at Reinhausen.

Customers are also using custom assistants to bring expertise closer to employees. Warehouse automation company KNAPP used Joule Studio to build an assistant that helps workers identify and resolve problems without waiting for an expert, reducing issue resolution times by about 90% and time spent on documentation and training by about 80%.

Autonomous SCM

Product Design Assistant

• Change Record Management Agent
• Product Data Maintenance Agent
• Product Structure Optimization Agent

Design engineers and product managers can bring products to market faster and avoid costly rework with the Product Design Assistant. It connects data across design, engineering, compliance, and downstream processes, analyzing designs, recipes, and product information to surface insights. It also flags issues early and checks materials and requirements against internal rules and regulations. Three agents released in Q3 strengthen the foundations of product development. Engineers can keep product master data accurate with the Product Data Maintenance Agent, while the Product Structure Optimization Agent consistently optimizes bills of material across product views to reduce costs. When designs need to be changed, the Change Record Management Agent identifies similar change records affecting the same product and proposes a new draft version to initiate the change process. This reduces delays caused by fragmented change data and improves governance and traceability.

The result is faster, more confident design decisions and higher product quality, with estimated benefits including a 19% reduction in product design costs, a 10% increase in prototype success, a five percent reduction in cost of goods sold from design improvements, and a 12% reduction in tooling and material waste costs.

The general availability for Product Design Assistant is now underway in a phased approach.

Logistics Assistant

• Batch Optimization Agent
• Warehouse Workload Optimization Agent
• Fixed Bin Maintenance Agent
• Material Reservation Processing Agent

Warehouse and logistics teams can keep operations running smoothly from inbound shipments to outbound deliveries with the Logistics Assistant. It senses disruptions as they happen and coordinates detection, planning, and execution across warehousing and transportation, managing decisions on labor, inventory, dispatch, and freight. Four agents released in Q3 focus on warehouse execution. Supervisors can match staff to demand and spot potential resource shortages early with the Warehouse Workload Optimization Agent. The Fixed Bin Maintenance Agent adjusts bins and replenishment as demand changes. On the inventory side, the Batch Optimization Agent monitors batch expiration and triggers actions to reduce waste. The Material Reservation Processing Agent lets users manage material reservations in natural language, with built-in human review. Together, these capabilities shorten the time from plan to execution, improve resilience to disruption, and lower the cost to serve by reducing expedites and inventory waste.

Generative AI hub enhancements

麻豆原创-RPT-1.6
麻豆原创-RPT-1.6, now available on generative AI hub, is our latest model in the 麻豆原创-RPT family. It delivers the strongest gains in prediction quality to date, particularly for high-cardinality classification, and is validated across 197 real-world enterprise tasks.

• Explainability: Available in all 麻豆原创-RPT-1.6 variants, this includes column-level feature importances and the ability to surface specific historical rows most influential to each prediction, giving business users and decision-makers a clearer basis for trusting and acting on AI-driven outputs.
• Deep Context Mode: Only available in 麻豆原创-RPT-1.6-large, this allows the model to draw on significantly larger reference datasets to improve prediction quality. It is intended for use cases with large historical data, such as invoice records spanning multiple fiscal years or product catalogs in the tens of thousands. This mode trades higher latency and cost for higher accuracy, and can be enabled via a single parameter in the prediction configuration.

Tabular Orchestration
Tabular Orchestration, now available on generative AI hub, is a new managed workflow for 麻豆原创-RPT models. It handles context management and data access, thereby removing the need to build and maintain custom data pipelines. Teams register their data source and scenario configuration once at design time. Every inference is a single API call, with the workflow automatically handling data ingestion and context selection before routing the prediction request to the specified 麻豆原创-RPT model. This setup is designed to easily carry forward as the workflow expands to support additional tabular foundation models beyond 麻豆原创-RPT in future releases.

Prior Labs’ TabPFN-3.5-Plus
Business analysts and AI teams can turn structured business data into actionable predictions faster with TabPFN-3.5 Plus, now available in 麻豆原创 AI Core. Developed by Prior Labs, an 麻豆原创 company, the tabular foundation model helps organizations predict outcomes such as payment delays, supplier risks, customer churn, and upsell opportunities鈥攚ithout task-specific model training or tuning. Unlike large language models, which excel at language and knowledge tasks, TabPFN-3.5 Plus is purpose-built for the rows and columns that underpin critical business decisions.

The model works with data as it exists in business systems, handling missing values, mixed data types, and inconsistent fields without preprocessing. Through in-context learning, it uses labeled examples to make predictions from raw tabular data, including columns containing thousands of distinct values, such as product codes or customer identifiers. This reduces the manual preparation and trial-and-error configuration associated with traditional machine learning, helping teams move from business data to predictions in minutes.

For customers, this means a faster path to predictive insights with less model-development effort. Finance teams can anticipate payment delays, procurement teams can assess supplier risks, and customer-facing teams can identify churn risks and upsell opportunities. By making prediction more accessible, TabPFN-3.5 Plus helps organizations use their structured data to inform decisions and act earlier on emerging risks and opportunities.

has been developing innovative products for the energy market for over 100 years. Sustained high demand and long-term growth prospects create a dynamic environment for innovation.

The company also innovates with AI. They use it within their products to create customer value and to automate manual processes for employees. And they are adding more automation to help them meet growing demand amid skilled labor shortages. Reinhausen鈥檚 expertise in AI innovation is among the reasons the company joined 麻豆原创鈥檚 early adopter program for Joule Work.

鈥淧artnering within the Early Adopter Program for Joule Work Desktop has delivered more momentum in just a few months than we saw in all the years before,鈥� said Peter Wied, Director of Complexity Management at Reinhausen. 鈥淲e see huge potential in making access to our 麻豆原创 S/4HANA data significantly easier and faster through natural language. This has the potential to permanently transform how our teams interact with business data.鈥�

AI that answers complex business questions while running agent-driven workflows at scale

Soon, all 麻豆原创 customers will enjoy the benefits of Joule Work when it rolls out later this month. We built it because the promise of AI goes far beyond text generation and fact-finding. It can help people make better decisions, informed by their data, and get answers to complex questions. 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform ensures those answers are all grounded in the context of how a specific business runs.

These are advantages companies can only get from 麻豆原创 because 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform encodes decades of process and industry knowledge right into our applications, knowledge graph, and Joule Work. The platform also combines best-in-class third-party models with 麻豆原创鈥檚 own foundation models for ABAP code generation and predictions on structured data, alongside 麻豆原创鈥檚 proprietary domain models, which are pre-trained on 麻豆原创’s code, data models, and business processes.

This means every AI interaction can draw on the model best suited for the task鈥攚hether that’s generating clean code, predicting a business outcome, or answering a process question鈥攚ith the accuracy and cost-efficiency that business-critical work demands. And through 麻豆原创 Business Data Cloud, Joule Work accesses all the data it needs from a single unified source that breaks down silos and unifies data across 麻豆原创 and non-麻豆原创 sources.

Now, is generally available in 麻豆原创 Business Data Cloud. It helps organizations eliminate fragmented records with a single trusted view of customers, suppliers, products, and employees across 麻豆原创 and non-麻豆原创 systems.

But we know sharper decisions and reliable business answers are only part of the equation. Organizations need AI to take action and coordinate work across all their business processes. Earlier this year, Deloitte more than 500 leaders and found 74% said they would redesign or rebuild almost half of their business processes around AI agents.

Through the 麻豆原创 Autonomous Suite, 麻豆原创 provides a library of reliable, ready-to-use Joule Agents across every business function, so companies can hit the ground running. And Joule Work brings the most powerful business AI orchestration engine in the industry to run those agentic workflows at scale.

Build and connect anything

Joule Work and the 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform provide an out-of-the-box competitive advantage for the AI era, but every company has its own unique advantages that should be strategically extended. This is why Joule Work鈥檚 Develop capability provides access to Joule Studio, soon to be generally available.

In Joule Studio, customers can customize and build Joule Agents with tools that embed process context and semantically rich data. They can also connect third-party systems with open standards because Joule Studio leverages over 11,800 pre-built business accelerators. Joule Studio is more than five times faster than do-it-yourself options, according to benchmarking done by .

With Joule Studio, anyone can describe what they want to build in natural language, while developers can use pro-code tools all in the same environment. New agents are deployed directly into Joule Work and inherit 麻豆原创 security and governance.

Warehouse automation company KNAPP used Joule Studio to build an that helps workers identify and solve problems without waiting for an expert. Issue resolution times have dropped by about 90%, while documentation and training times fell by about 80%.

In our industry, AI is not the future anymore; it is already happening. And that is exactly what our AI delivery pilot demonstrates every day. Our partnership with 麻豆原创 makes complexity simple. When a problem appears on the warehouse floor, 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform helps us solve it in seconds.

Florian Aufegger, Senior 麻豆原创 EWM Solution Consultant, KNAPP AG

As organizations build and deploy more agents, governance also has to evolve from compliance checkpoints to an integral part of the entire agent life cycle. Trust remains the biggest barrier to AI adoption for 71% of technology buyers, according to . This is why , now generally available, helps organizations govern every agent, LLM, and MCP server across 麻豆原创 and non-麻豆原创 environments. New capabilities, including 麻豆原创 Signavio Agent Mining, measure the outcomes every agent delivers and identify opportunities to further optimize those outcomes.

Start scaling AI, and your business outcomes, today

BCG’s latest found that the companies farthest ahead scaling AI deliver 2.4 times the revenue growth and 2.8 times the EBITDA growth of those falling behind.

Our customers, Reinhausen and KNAPP, show what that looks like up close: an hour of manual work reduced to seconds, and problems on the warehouse floor solved without waiting for an expert. Our goal is to make results like these repeatable for every 麻豆原创 customer.

鈥淚t’s time to show you the Autonomous Enterprise in action underpinned by great customer stories,鈥� 麻豆原创 CEO Christian Klein told his keynote audience at the start of the event.  

Klein reminded the audience that 麻豆原创 introduced the Autonomous Enterprise at its 麻豆原创 Sapphire conference in May 2026 as 鈥渢he beginning of better.鈥� Since then, he said, 麻豆原创 has worked with hundreds of customers to implement Joule Work as the AI engagement layer for the Autonomous Enterprise. 

A new UI for AI 

鈥淭his month, we are rolling out Joule Work for all customers,鈥� Klein said, describing it as a new UI for AI. He noted that for decades, users had to learn how 麻豆原创 worked, but with Joule Work, 麻豆原创 learns how people work. 鈥淔rom now on, the more than 400 million 麻豆原创 users can talk in their own language to 麻豆原创, and Joule Work gets the job done.鈥� 

Click the button below to load the content from YouTube.

Always allow YouTube

Klein explained that Joule Work is based on three pillars: conversations, where users ask questions and delegate tasks to agents; spaces, which display content, insights, and shared work; and Joule Studio, where customers extend Joule or build agents tailored to their own processes.   

He called 麻豆原创鈥檚 deep business and data context its 鈥渟ecret sauce.鈥� That context includes 麻豆原创 Knowledge Graph, which maps more than 7 million data fields, 50 million tables, more than 50,000 public and private APIs, 400 data products, and extensive process knowledge. 鈥淭hat’s why Joule doesn’t guess,鈥� he said. 

麻豆原创鈥檚 110,000 employees are already using Joule to perform hundreds of thousands of tasks every day, he shared: 鈥淲e are already seeing productivity gains in central functions like HR, finance, and procurement of over 20% and even bigger gains in more complex analytical and planning tasks.鈥� 

麻豆原创 Autonomous Suite 

Klein then turned his attention to the 麻豆原创 Autonomous Suite, the second layer in the Autonomous Enterprise. The suite initially covers five domains: finance, procurement, supply chain, human resources, and customer experience. 麻豆原创 Autonomous Suite is designed for work where a good answer is insufficient and 鈥渢he right answer鈥� is required every time, he said.  

鈥淟LMs are probabilistic and only give you the most likely answer,鈥� Klein said. He contrasted that probabilistic approach with 麻豆原创’s embedded agents. Because the agents operate within deterministic application workflows, they use the same data, follow the same rules, and leave the same audit trail as the applications themselves. Customers can choose the level of autonomy appropriate to each process, retaining human approval where risk is high and allowing greater automation for routine work. 

Since 麻豆原创 Sapphire, Klein said 麻豆原创 has created more than 20 Joule Assistants and over 200 Joule Agents, and is aiming for more than 400 agents by year-end. 鈥淏ut the real story isn鈥檛 the number of agents. It鈥檚 the business outcomes they deliver,鈥� he said. 

麻豆原创 Business AI Platform 

鈥淭hese agents can only understand your business so well because of the 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform,鈥� Klein said. 鈥淭he platform gives customers the best frontier model for every agentic use case, the deepest out-of-the-box business context and 麻豆原创-managed governance.鈥�  

Building on Klein鈥檚 remarks, Manoj Swaminathan, president and chief product officer of 麻豆原创 Autonomous Suite, described the 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform as the infrastructure that enables the Autonomous Enterprise. The platform is organized around three capabilities: building agents, contextualizing them with business data, and governing how they operate. 

Swaminathan explained how the context layer makes agents more accurate. Joule Studio spans no-code and professional development and offers access to more than 70 models, a strategy he said reduces lock-in and controls token costs.  

鈥淛oule Studio is natively integrated with our context layer,鈥� he said. 鈥淪o, the agents you build are more accurate, faster to deploy, and more efficient to run. Our knowledge graph is the map with the processes, data flows, and business tools. The agents find the right processes among thousands and the right information among over 7 million feeds. 麻豆原创 Business Data Cloud brings that understanding to all your data, one consistent view, the processes, policies, and logic to make it meaningful.鈥� 

Swaminathan said no AI can compensate for a broken data model. To help agents understand customers鈥� business rules, 麻豆原创 Domain Models are trained on 麻豆原创鈥檚 code. For predictions, 麻豆原创 provides two engines grounded in how a customer’s business operates: 麻豆原创-RPT, 麻豆原创’s model family trained on its business data, and the Prior Labs tabular AI model.

Jerseys from Jersey 

During his section of the keynote, Jan Gilg, global president of Customer Success & Americas, used an imaginary startup 鈥� 鈥淛erseys from Jersey鈥� 鈥� to invite a handful of customers to the stage to answer his questions and validate aspects of 麻豆原创鈥檚 Autonomous Enterprise strategy.  

The customers included Novartis, which is piloting Joule sourcing agents for bid analysis and negotiation support; Morgan Foods, which described a supply-chain transformation built on 麻豆原创 S/4HANA and 麻豆原创 Integrated Business Planning; Nestl茅, which emphasized the importance of a unified digital core; and 麻豆原创 customer and partner PwC, which spoke about the value of the Industry AI portfolio from 麻豆原创. 

Summing up their comments, Gilg noted that the elements of the 麻豆原创 Autonomous Suite 鈥渁re more than a collection of functional components. It鈥檚 one system working together like connective tissue that provides connectivity, context, and control.鈥�

Gilg also made several product announcements, including the launch of 麻豆原创 Pay, an embedded payments service that can automatically execute and reconcile supplier payments once an invoice is approved. He also announced 麻豆原创鈥檚 planned acquisition of TechWolf, a Belgian workforce-intelligence startup designed to help close skills gaps. 

Security and governance 

In the closing section of the keynote, 麻豆原创 Chief Security Officer Marielle Ehrmann focused on trust and governance. She noted that ransomware handovers that once took eight hours now take 22 seconds with AI, and while 83% of enterprises use AI daily, only 13% have real visibility into it.  

鈥淭he biggest threat to companies is not malicious AI; it鈥檚 unmanaged AI,鈥� Ehrmann said. To counter that threat, she said every agent should have a verified owner, a risk tier, and scoped access rights, supported by zero-trust checks on identity, purpose, and data sensitivity as well as human oversight. 

She emphasized that 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform incorporates regulatory and localization requirements, applies user authorizations, keeps customer data from being used to train foundation models, and supports three levels of oversight: human-in-the-loop approval, human-on-the-loop monitoring, and human-in-command override authority. 鈥淭he more autonomously an agent operates, the tighter the oversight applied,鈥� Ehrmann said, calling the principle 鈥渇reedom within boundaries.鈥� 

A clear shift among customers 

Wrapping up the keynote, Klein emphasized that trust is key to everything 麻豆原创 does and has been for over 50 years. 鈥淲e are delivering the most trusted and governed AI in the industry,鈥� he said, but added, 鈥淎I also requires significant change management to ensure it delivers the desired outcomes for your business.鈥� 

That is where 麻豆原创鈥檚 business transformation solutions come in, he said. 麻豆原创 Signavio measures process value before and after a change to help justify token spending; 麻豆原创 LeanIX discovers and tracks AI agents; and 麻豆原创 WalkMe supports user adoption and trust. Klein also highlighted an agent-led migration toolchain. Together, he said, these capabilities mean that the days of multi-million-dollar migration spend are gone.

鈥淭his is no longer the start of something better. This is better,鈥� Klein told the audience. He described a clear shift among 麻豆原创 customers: 鈥淔rom manual steps to connected workflows, from reactive decision-making to predictive insights, from humans in spreadsheets to humans in and on the loop–all powered by our AI platform to keep AI accurate, governed, and extensible.鈥�

And, most importantly, Klein said, 鈥淚ts ready for you today鈥� This is the Autonomous Enterprise.鈥� 

Joule Work, Joule Assistants and 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform help organizations turn business AI into trusted outcomes across every core function.

LAS VEGAS 鈥� (NYSE: 麻豆原创) today showcased the Autonomous Enterprise in action at 麻豆原创 Connect, demonstrating how Joule Work and Joule Assistants generate value for customers across every line of business.

“This is a breakthrough moment for business AI,” said Christian Klein, CEO of 麻豆原创 SE. “The Autonomous Enterprise has arrived.

Today, alongside the announcement of and the broad availability of NVIDIA OpenShell, we鈥檙e deepening our collaboration with NVIDIA to help make enterprise AI agents safer, more governable, and easier to audit by design.

As announced this year at 麻豆原创 Sapphire, 麻豆原创 and NVIDIA have a deep technical collaboration, with plans to bring 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform together with OpenShell, an open-source secure runtime for autonomous AI agents. This is more than a planned integration, it reflects a shared effort to help define what 鈥渆nterprise-grade鈥� means for autonomous AI systems.

As part of our ongoing co-development activities, 麻豆原创 engineers are contributing directly to the OpenShell codebase and embedding OpenShell within 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform. , an AI-first development environment, provides a complete execution and governance stack for enterprise AI agents, while OpenShell supports deploying agents with a focus on safety and security.

麻豆原创 and NVIDIA are also working to:

• Help harden the OpenShell runtime for enterprise-scale deployment, including in regulated industries with strict security and compliance requirements
• Connect OpenShell鈥檚 runtime isolation with the business governance layer of Joule Studio runtime, linking technical execution boundaries to enterprise authorization models, IAM frameworks, and audit trails
• Work toward FedRAMP, FIPS, and regulated-industry enablement on a committed road map
• Advance open research and AI safety through the , of which 麻豆原创 and NVIDIA are both founding members alongside other industry leaders

Joule Studio runtime: Governance above the execution layer

runtime helps determine whether an action should execute at all鈥攁pplying business authorization, role-based policy, and process context before a request in action reaches the runtime. OpenShell provides an open-source runtime boundary designed to help build and deploy autonomous, self-evolving agents more safely. It governs how the agent executes, what it can see and do, and where inference goes. Together, the two aim to give enterprise customers execution containment and business accountability in a single integrated stack.

麻豆原创 engineering contributions to NVIDIA OpenShell

麻豆原创 engineers are contributing to four areas of the OpenShell project. On platform architecture, 麻豆原创 has helped drive decomposition of the runtime into independently deployable components, separating the supervisor and agent execution layers so they can scale independently. For Kubernetes-native operations, contributions include operator support, image pull secret management for private container registries, custom volume claim templates, and foreground deletion of sandbox resources. 麻豆原创 has also worked to minimize the gateway image footprint and extend compute driver support for heterogeneous enterprise infrastructure. Contributions to supervisor health monitoring and structured log-level configuration bring the runtime to enterprise observability standards.

Joule Studio runtime is available free for 麻豆原创 customers and partners through October 2026鈥�

Andre Lamego is senior vice president and chief product officer for 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform Fabric at 麻豆原创.

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.

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.

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�

From application development to automation, integration, and now agentic AI, we have pushed forward so organizations can move faster, solve bigger challenges, and create with confidence.

At 麻豆原创 Sapphire, we鈥檙e taking a giant step forward in making that mission a reality.

I鈥檓 thrilled to announce Joule Studio, a bold new, fully managed offering that empowers enterprises to build and manage the full life cycle of AI agents, applications, and workflows. Joule Studio brings 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform to life, empowering organizations to build agents that are natively grounded in live business data, end-to-end processes, and rich business semantics that already exist across your 麻豆原创 landscape.

Let鈥檚 look at what users can accomplish with Joule Studio.

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.

Michael Ameling is president of 麻豆原创 Business Technology Platform and a member of the Extended Board of 麻豆原创 SE.

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.

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.

More than a quick refuel

At the end of their visit, visitors got so much more than a quick refuel to slake their thirst. Following the creation of the ginger shot from recipe development and planning to production with mixing, filling, and packing, visitors came away with a clear understanding of how 麻豆原创 is connecting insight to execution with trusted orchestration and smarter execution. And, it is this trusted orchestration and smarter execution that is building the resilience every manufacturer needs in today鈥檚 world.

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聽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聽, 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.

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).

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. With long-term memory, AI agents can memorize past inputs and decisions — learning and remembering just like humans — and become continuously smarter.

These advances show that 麻豆原创 HANA Cloud is truly powering an AI-native future. .

Bringing together the power of 麻豆原创 BDC and Snowflake

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.

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

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.
