SAP Launches the Era of AI-Driven Autonomous Business

SAP announced the start of the autonomous business era with its AI-based Joule Work and SAP Autonomous Suite solutions. The new systems aim to deliver efficiency increases in finance, human resources, and procurement processes.

Mapping over seven million data fields, SAP Knowledge Graph leverages business context to provide users with reliable information and insights. Used by more than 110,000 employees internally, Joule Work has reportedly driven a 20 percent increase in efficiency across finance, human resources, and procurement processes. SAP SE CEO Christian Klein stated that the era of autonomous business has begun, noting that organizations such as Novartis, Morgan Foods, Nestlé, and PwC are integrating artificial intelligence into all business functions.

Novartis Head of Procurement Christoph Buerki stated that they have launched the pilot application of the Joule Sourcing Assistant developed in partnership with SAP, aiming for AI agents to take over manual tasks. Meanwhile, SAP announced its entry into the payment solutions market with SAP Pay, powered by Tereina. Integrated into SAP Cloud ERP, SAP Pay executes payment on invoice due dates and reconciliation processes within a single workflow.
