SAP unveils new AI platform to unify enterprise services

(Sharecast News) - German software giant SAP on Tuesday unveiled its so-called 'Autonomous Enterprise' offering, bringing together its enterprise AI software, data and automation products into one suite powered by Anthropic's Claude model.

The new SAP Business AI Platform combines SAP Business Technology Platform, SAP Business Data Cloud and SAP Business AI under one roof.

As well as its work with Anthropic, the company also announced a series of strategic partnerships, such as one with Amazon Web Services for data integration between SAP Business Data Cloud and Amazon Athena, and another with Nvidia, whose OpenShell sandbox provides runtime for its Joule Studio, which enables customers to build and manage AI agents.

"For the mission-critical processes of our customers, 'almost right' just isn't good enough," said Christian Klein, SAP's chief executive at SAP Sapphire, the company's annual conference showcasing its latest products and services.

"By uniting SAP Business AI Platform with SAP Autonomous Suite, we anchor AI agents in the business processes, data and governance so they can deliver accurate, compliant and secure outcomes, unlocking new sources of revenue and meaningful cost savings."

The firm said it has also launched a €100m fund for SAP partners to help drive customer deployment.

SAP was trading 1.2% lower at €142.70 by the close of play in Frankfurt.
