How SAP is Leading the Way in Enterprise AI
Artificial intelligence is transforming businesses across every industry. As a leading provider of enterprise software, SAP is at the forefront of leveraging AI to create intelligent enterprises.
In this blog, we’ll explore SAP’s AI initiatives and how they are enabling organizations to harness the power of AI.
SAP’s Commitment to Ethical and Responsible AI
With great innovation comes great responsibility. SAP recognizes that AI needs to be implemented ethically and has taken proactive steps to ensure this.
In January 2022, SAP’s Global AI Ethics Policy came into effect, providing guidelines for using AI responsibly.
SAP aims to empower customers to become intelligent enterprises in a sustainable manner. This shows SAP’s commitment to ethical AI, which builds trust with customers.
Unlocking Potential Across Business Functions
According to IDC, 🚀 60% of Forbes’ Global 2000 companies will expand their use of AI across key business functions by 2024.
SAP is making this achievable by embedding AI capabilities across its solutions portfolio. From marketing to finance, HR to procurement, SAP solutions enabled by machine learning can drive transformation across organizations.
For example, retailers can analyze sales data to optimize pricing and promotions. Manufacturers can predict equipment failures to minimize downtime.
Another example is the use of Generative AI capabilities in SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting enables hiring managers to create compelling and accurate job descriptions that capture the desired skills and attributes of each role.

Partnerships to Pioneer Next-Gen Enterprise AI
Strategic partnerships are accelerating SAP’s vision of infusing intelligence into organizations. SAP is collaborating with Google Cloud to integrate Google’s AI/ML technologies into SAP solutions and with IBM Watson.
This allows customers to run SAP systems and workloads seamlessly in the cloud while leveraging advanced analytics.
🚀 SAP has also invested in startups like Anthropic, Cohere, and Aleph Alpha that are pioneering generative AI.
By fostering an open ecosystem, SAP is shaping the future of enterprise software with leading-edge AI capabilities. Partnerships show SAP’s openness to expand capabilities.

Retailers are optimizing promotions, and manufacturers are minimizing downtime. Across industries, SAP’s AI unlocks automation, prediction, and optimization that were unimaginable just a few years ago. These capabilities are embedded directly into SAP’s intelligent suite, from ERP to HR, enabling businesses to transform with minimal disruption.
Real-world examples make the benefits of SAP’s AI tangible.

To spearhead its AI strategy, SAP appointed Dr. Walter Sun as Global Head of Artificial Intelligence.
With over 25 years of experience at innovative companies like Microsoft and Amazon, Dr. Sun’s technical knowledge and business acumen are ideal to lead SAP’s AI efforts.
The Road Ahead
As AI adoption including generative AI gains momentum( see here for a point of view of how to use generative AI to revolutionize work productivity), SAP is poised to lead the way in enabling intelligent enterprises.
Several companies and new AI apps are helping businesses apply generative AI technologies in their business functions, from sales and marketing to customer support.
